[racket] Help generating PDF documents with Scribble

Matt,

Yes to both items:
(1) texlive on CentOS complies your ex.tex as-is.
(2)Miktex in Windows 7 hangs on the as-is version of ex.tex,
but compiles fine if the bigtabular use is removed from the bibliography,
as in

\Autocolbibnumber{[1]}
\label{t:x28autobib_x22AlphaA2013x22x29}\Autocolbibentry{Alpha. A. 2013.} \\
\Autocolbibnumber{[2]}
\label{t:x28autobib_x22BetaB2014x22x29}\Autocolbibentry{Beta. B. 2014.}

George

It sounds like Scribble itself isn't really getting stuck, but it creates Latex that your pdflatex doesn't like.

Assuming that your "example-paper2.tex" is the same as the "ex.tex"
that I've enclosed, then there must be something in the document that is tripping up your version of Latex and doesn't bother the version of Latex that I have installed. Possibly it's the use of the `stabular'
environment (via `bigtabular'), which doesn't show up with the default bibliography style.

Does commenting out the `bigtabular' use allow the ".tex" file to build?
