General ⇒ Errors when referencing equations, etc.

[cfuttrup]

Hello, I'm writing a journal article for the AES and using their newest template from 2021 (https://www.aes.org/journal/authors/guidelines/).

I have updated LaTeX (MiKTeX on a Windows 10 machine and using either TeXworks, or TeXstudio) and I get two kinds of errors:

1) is that my bibliography doesn't work - I mean, the hyperlinks in the PDF works, but they don't show up as pretty as they should. This is solvable by adding \RequirePackage[2020-02-02]{latexrelease} at the top. Is there a 'correct' way to solve this issue?

2) is that my equation references looks very bad, see attached picture, and I have found no way to make it look good.

MiKTeX was removed and installed from scratch, but it doesn't solve the problem. MiKTeX is installed as a single-user installation.

A friend (running on Linux Mint) has no problem compiling the document.

With kind regards,
Claus

Hi Claus,

they don't show up as pretty as they should.

how are they looking, how shall they look?

is that my equation references looks very bad, see attached picture

I saw the attachments, but why is it bad, and how shall they look to be good?

Also, it would be great if you would post compilable code (small, reduced, ) because then we can easily test and correct it.

Hi Stefan

In the attachment on the right side you see the PDF, the bib references says 'green5' and 'green6' but they should say [5] and [6]. The equation reference says red1THE LINKWITZ-RILEY ALIGN-MENTequation0.1.1 ... I think it should simply say equation 1, all the other text is LaTeX internal information, like which section the equation is in (it's also visible in the screen dump).

About the bib-references, it's fixed if I load a previous version of LaTeX.

Below I have attached the error messages collected by TeXstudio. The last one is for the equation previously mentioned.

The errors go away if I run the Required-command with a previous LaTeXrelease, but as said, the equation references still don't look good.

Best regards,
Claus

Looks like you have some settings in the preamble (not shown here) where the highlighting of references (probably hyperref) contains coloring (red, green) but in a wrong way so the color names just make it to the text.

Hi Stefan

Interesting, I will have to study the details of the JAES template. Maybe it's the documentclass definition that I need to work with. Here's the preamble and defining section of the document:

I downloaded the template, compiled it, it throws many errors.

And yes, it looks broken, see the magenta thing in the output. You should not use it, except if you publish with the JAES, and then you should contact them because the issue is with them.

I have battled Windows Defender Antivirus and then I still couldn't resolve the above problems, so I have now installed texlive (instead of MiKTeX) but the problem persist. At least now I can execute pdflatex from the command line. Here's a boiled down extract from the log file:

Things are pretty mixed up, but I think the worst is over.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Non-PDF special ignored!

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

The log file is >1000 lines so this is obviously just an extract of the errors I was able to find (some show up many times and I just copied the first time it shows up).

All 'cite' references are defined in audio.bib. All 'equation' references are defined correctly.

Best regards,
Claus

It seems my problems are fixed if I run TeXlive in 2020 (Legacy) mode. Whatever that means, but since it's the same story for MiKTeX I wonder if LaTeX is going through a transition phase, where things turn incompatible? ... I am surprised if LaTeX is going through a phase with incompatibilty. Is there someone who knows what is going on and who can explain this to me?
