I've created a .bib file using Mendeley's bibtex export. I'm now trying to cite this source in my document. TeXmaker recognizes something, because it autocompletes the citation key for me.
But then when I try to compile, I get stuck with
! Missing number, treated as zero.
errors on the citation line and a
! Use of \blx@bbl@verbadd@i doesn't match its definition.
error with a line number that doesn't make sense.
Here are the contents of my BibTex/library.bib file:
@misc{Borowicz2016,
author = {Borowicz, Wojtek},
booktitle = {Estimote Community Portal},
pages = {3},
title = {{Apps and Projects with Estimote}},
url = {https://community.estimote.com/hc/en-us/articles/207295257-Apps-and-projects-with-Estimote},
urldate = {Mar 3, 2016},
year = {2016}
}
Here's the MWE of my document I'm trying to get to work:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside, vi, letterpaper]{report}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=ieee]{biblatex} %style=numeric-comp
\bibliography{BibTex/library.bib}
\begin{document}
Hi! I am sample text.
Here is a citation: \cite{Borowicz2016}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
\endinput
This compiles fine if I comment out the citation line, but fails with it uncommented as shown. Suggestions on how to fix are greatly appreciated!
urldatefield has the wrong format, date fields need to be filled inYYYY-MM-DDformat, so you would have:urldate = {2016-03-03},instead. – moewe Aug 10 '16 at 07:35
