When I compile my thesis the following error pops up:
Underfull \hbox (badness 1264) in paragraph at lines 61--61

[106]
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>

l.61
This happens in latexmk, or in pdflatex after I run biber. Other posters reporting the same error often nail it down to an underscore in the bibtex entry, but this is clearly not the case here:
@ARTICLE{iovino2009naples,
author = {Iovino, Serenella},
title = {Naples 2008, or, the Waste Land: Trash, Citizenship, and an Ethic of Narration},
journaltitle = {Neohelicon},
year = {2009},
date = {2009-09},
volume = {36},
issue = {2},
pages = {335--346},
doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11059-009-0004-6},
url = {http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11059-009-0004-6},
file = {iovino2009naples.pdf:iovino2009naples.pdf:PDF},
pdf = {iovino2009naples.pdf}
}
What is happening? What can I do?
[EDIT] Here's a MWE as requested:
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, twoside, openright, draft]{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[style=mla,mladraft=true,backend=biber,bibencoding=utf8]{biblatex}
\bibliography{../bibtex/workscited.bib}
\begin{document}
\autocite{iovino2012wilderness}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Where the iovino2012wilderness entry is:
@INBOOK{iovino2012wilderness,
author = {Iovino, Serenella},
title = {The Wilderness of the Human Other: Italo Calvino's 'The Watcher' and a Reflection on the Future of Ecocriticism.},
booktitle = {The Future of Ecocriticism},
year = {2012},
date = {2012},
editor = {Serpil Oppermann, Ufuk \"{O}zda\breve{g}, Nevin \"{O}zkan and Scott
Slovic},
urldate = {2012-12-09},
file = {iovino2012wilderness.pdf:iovino2012wilderness.pdf:PDF},
pdf = {iovino2012wilderness.pdf},
shorttitle = {The Wilderness of the Human Other}
}
This still produces errors:
Missing $ inserted \end
You can't use `\spacefactor' in math mode \end
Missing $ inserted \end
^^U^^U^^U.^^P N
implies that you have control characters before the title, but the missing$
error is unconnected with the input you show, it occurs on the following page, the under-full bib entry is on page 106 and the error is on the next page, on line 61 of your source file (or one of your source files)^^U^^U^^U.^^P
appear on the PDF as emdashes and are used to avoid repeating the author's name. Line 61 in my master document is blank. Line 60 is\appendix
, but commenting that throws up the same error. Line 59 is\printbibliography
. Commenting l.59 prevents the error from occurring but also does not print my bibliography. :(.bib
entry posted above does not seem to be the culprit. Maybe it is the entry just before that in the bibliography (just a guess, might be off by quite some miles).
