I laid last hands on my project. I added some sources. But than everything just blew up. Hopefully you can help me!

Here are the error(s):

  • If you use BibTeX, don't use anything but "plain ASCII" characters in the bib file(s). Have you checked out the posting How to write “ä” and other umlauts and accented letters in bibliography?

  • There are no \cite commands in your (non minimal) code, so I doubt that it really can produce the error. Apr 15, 2015 at 14:09
  • I don't know: I just copied the code from his post, used bibtex in a first time and had the same error message, then changed as indicated and it worked fine after I removed the auxiliary files created by bibtex.

  • It seems (from the mentioned error messages) that relevant topics is tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94418

(Too long for a comment, hence posted as an answer.)

If I include the instructions \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} and \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} in the preamble, I am unable to reproduce the errors you report having encountered, using the bib entries you posted. You may want to check your editor's input encoding settings, just in case these settings involve an encoding that's not UTF8.

If you use biblatex +biber (which understands utf8),it compiles fine.

Just add these lines to your preamble:

\usepackage{biblatex} 
\addbibresource{kilder.bib}

and replace at the end of the document:

\bibliography{kilder}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

with:

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

  • I doubt that it will work fine for Basilius, as the error message indicates a problem with the encoding of the umlauts in the .bib-file. Apr 15, 2015 at 14:41
  • You are right: biber corrects the utf8 by converting the u+combining accent to the correct glyph. Apr 15, 2015 at 14:53
