Ok, I'll try to give a step by step intro. The goal is to have a a document with a bibliography that has been typeset with biblatex. You are hopefully beyond the first two steps... 1. Make sure you have MacTeX2011 installed. Then you have biblatex, biblatex-styles, biber, TeXShop etc. 2. Update everything using TeXLive Utility. 3. Read http://www.tug.org/mactex/2011/What_Is_Installed.pdf http://www.tug.org/mactex/2011/src/WelcomeToMacTeX.pdf 4. Consider http://www.tug.org/mactex/2011/mactextras.html and make use of the help and intro documents there. Look around a bit in /Applications/TeX/ after you have installed everything. 5. The TeXShop help menu can also help a lot. Read, for example, the "TeXShop Tips and Tricks" document, especially section six. There are also movies, etc. 7. Activate the pdflatexmk engine. 8. Open in TeXShop the sample document below (copy & paste). Make sure to read all the comments, too. 9. Hit the typeset button in TeXShop. 10. If it works, try to replace the sample bibliography (created with the help of the filecontents-package) with your own. (the .bib-file you edit with BibDesk) Ask again... Daniel And here the file: % !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk % !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode % the first too lines tell TeXShop that the file is encoded in UTF8 and that % typesetting should be done with the pdflatexmk-program. This makes sure that % the latex, biber etc programs are used in their correct order \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %Other encodings also ok, just not utf8x \usepackage [english, german] {babel} \usepackage [babel=once, %Sets quote style once for whole document english=american] %American quote style {csquotes} \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents}{foo.bib} @Book{dickens, author={Charles Dickens}, title={A Tale of Two Cities}, year=1859, publisher={Chapman and Hall} } \end{filecontents} \usepackage{blindtext} %Load Biblatex with style Historian \usepackage [style=historian,% select autocite=footnote,% citations in footnotes backend=biber% fiber is used to create bibliography, not bibtex ]{biblatex} %Link Biblatex to your \bibtex database \bibliography{foo}%file foo.bib could be maintained with BibDesk \title{A sample document} \begin{document} \blindtext[2] \footcite{dickens} \blindtext[2] \printbibliography \end{document} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
