Me again...the latest BBT results in an interrupted export process for me, unfortunately. Here's the

I have added one entry, then tried to run clicking "Export Now" (from previous set-up). I had a couple of failed runs, the cache seems stuck in 12 percent. Exporter is Better BibLaTeX.

As always, thanks for your amazing programming wizardry and help!

Install in Zotero by downloading test build 5.2.37.6761, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

Can you get me a new log with 6761?

Sure thing:

Same thing happened. Stopped at 12 percent.
Thanks for super fast reply!

Can you right-click boyd-why-2007 and send a log from the popup menu?

Ah, that's the culprit. Thanks.

Not quite sure what you mean by log from pop-up. I only get the option to send a BBT debut report.
But the problem was the name:
boyd danah

Now it's running smoothly beyond the 12 percent.
Odd. I haven't edited that entry in a while.

Thanks for clearing that up!

I meant from the menu that pops up. BBT should have been able to deal with that name as it was.

I honestly don't know why it would crop up now and not sooner. That bit of code hasn't changed in a long while. I do make use of the built-in HTML parser, maybe that has changed behavior in the latest Zotero upgrade. The pseudo-HTML that Zotero supports is pretty nasty to parse, but this fix should deal with it.

Awesome. Everything works as expected for me with the fix. Thanks for the quick response

Gosh darn it, burnt my grabby fingers :-) Put in the offending characters again trying to reproduce the error - it's fixed from my side. Here's the

Thanks for your super quick fix!

Thanks for reporting it. The 2nd report is now in the test suite so it can't happen again. I'll cut the release when I'm back home.
