Hi all (esp. Taco ;-),
here's a very fundamental question about the bib-module: my main bib file now has ~ 1,700 entries. When I tried to compile a file which includes bibliographic references in mkii, I got this error:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=60000]. \@@shortsectionnumber ...\c!conversion \endcsname \relax \@EA \ifx \csname \...
\@@longsectionnumber ...\@@shortsectionnumber {#1} \fi \finalsectionnumber ...alue {\@@sectie \c!number } \fi \fi \dodododoconstructhead ...er {\someheadconversion }\getvalue {\??ko #1\c!inb... l.162 \section{Textausgaben}
! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
The same file compiles without errors in mkiv. So I'm curious: Is it possible that the bib file is just too large for mkii? Or is it more probable that there's some error in it such as missing crossref etc? Does anyone have experience with large bib files and the bib module?
you can increase the hash size in texmf.cnf ... if so, then also remake the format in mkiv we need less hash space if only because it got rid of encodings and regimes Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
