thank you both a lot
somehow i am not able (neither any of my more experienced lyx friends to
turn my dissertation into a biblatex. it gives always multiple errors (i
tried many times)... T1 inputenc error..(?)
that is why i wondered if there was another (nonpainful) way

I use bibtex (changing to biblatex for some reason gives multiple errors
we
still work on it)
apsr and natbib
however the problem is that
- in newspaper entries: the publication and the exact date (month day) are
not displayed
- in working papers the institution is not displayed
- and any unicode signs in the literature result in error messages but i
can live with manually "cleaning" the literature of any "special" letters
Im looking forward to any hint as I am not able to find a solution to this
in the last months
Hi,
it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply
doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field
unknown is ignored. For example, non of the bst styles i know have a
defined date field, but all just support a year entry.
Please consider the following example:
%%
\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@bok{nobook,
author={maggie},
title={the title},
}
@misc{entry,
date={2015-05-11},
author={maggie},
titel={not title, but titel},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
%%
Making biblatex work might be a fruitful endeavour, as hacking bst-styles
is a pain.
Best regards
Johannes
The real error messgae would be better. For example, inputenc doesn't
know the option T1, but package fontnec does. I guess this is a typo,
though.
It is also possible, that you have characters in your bibliography
database, that are not known for your current encoding and need to be
defined first.
There is a pretty simple algorithm to limit the reasson to a very small
area, called *creating a minimal working example* [1]. That is
something, in my opinion, best done down at the pure LaTeX level, as LyX
can and its extra stuff can be quite confusing and distracting.
Once we have a bit of actual code producing the error, i am sure we can
find a solution.
