Hello LyX Users,
I am using LyX 1.0. My LaTeX preamble includes \usepackage{apalike}.
As I cite references within my document, I'd like them to appear as
(Doe & Smith, 1999). If I type that in directly after the sentence, it
works as it should. However, I'd like to use the keys and labels
feature of LyX.
So, in the reference section of an article class, in the gray
Bibliography Item box, I add DoeSmith:1999 as the key and Doe & Smith,
1999 as the label. I then go back to my document and insert the
citation at the end of the appropriate sentence. When viewing the .dvi
file, the ampersand is not present.
From my experience with LaTeX, I am aware that the ampersand is a
special symbol. So I then inserted into the Bibliography Item's label
field Doe \& Smith, 1999 but this did not work either.
So my first question is, how can I use the label field in my document
and get the desired citation look?
The second question stems from the assumption that I cannot do what I
want with the first question. When entering references, the first one
of course has a key of 1, the second one a key of 2, etc. I am happy
simply using these keys without entering any labels (for example, this
will let me always see how many references I have). However, LaTeX
produces errors when labels are not entered. Is there a way to make
LaTeX not produce errors if for each key, no label is entered?
Thanks in advance for the responses,
Myles
