In my bib-file I have an author who have written more than one publication in a year. When citing these publications I would expect NatBib to handle it by doing something like:
Sandsgaard, Janus (2004a) Sandsgaard, Janus (2004b) (this is what apalike does). But instead I get an error message: "Misplaced alignment tab character &. e=uk&category=11} . I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely, you're probably due for more error messages, and you might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable." I have tried building my own .bst for NatBib (using latex makebst - thank you, Jürgen!), and this one do the 2004a, 2004b trick. But as I do not fully understand the .bst and all the questions I answered using makebst, I do not feel confortable about using this home made one. I would prefer something standard, and I can't imagine that I am the first one to run into this problem using one of the .bst's that comes with NatBib. Suggestions? LyX 1.3.4 NatBib with author-year plainnat Janus -- Roskilde University, Denmark. Department of Technology and Social Science. International Development Studies.
