Re: Harvard referencing style with Bibdesk

[Stefano Franchi]

As I said, I don't know the details about Harvard style. But if it does 
not show up in the LyX dialog box there is a good chance it is not 
present in your TeX installation. If you look on CTAN (the TeX 
repository), you'll find the Harvard biblio styles there
(try this for a start: 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/harvard/)

You'll have to follow the instruction in the INSTALL file, then rehash 
TeX and reconfigure LyX (Edit>Reconfigure) . After which it should show 
up in your LyX dialog. Read carefully the INSTALL file for the Harvard 
style, though, because there are different TeX systems available for 
the Mac and they do put stuff in very different places.

Cheers,
Stefano

Thanks Stephano - I've got LyX and Bibdesk talking to each other okay
(in the manner you described), but I can't get it to produce the
referencing style I'm after: I  should have made myself clearer.
Basically my problem is that I can't find the style I'm after in the
Insert>Lists & Toc> BibTex Reference
dialogue box (after I have selected my .bib file). I want to add the
Harvard referencing style to this box, but I have no idea how to do
this, or whether I can even do this in LyX.
If anyone is nifty with this sort of thing, I'd greatly appreciate any
advice.
Cheers,
James

James,
I don't know about the Harvard style ( I use Oxford), but the
Mac/Lyx +
BibDesk combination is exactly what I use and it works fine.
Assuming
you're asking for help on the interaction between the two, here it
goes.
BibDesk is a reference manager: you use it to enter and update your
references and save to save them to a .bib file.  All the editing
(and
only the editing) of references is done in BibDesk.
In Lyx, you need to insert the file containing the references
(which
you have edited in BibDesk) somewhere in the document--usually at
the
end. The command is Insert>Lists & Toc> BibTex Reference. In the
dialog
box that pops up you select the file and the biblio style. Once you
have selected the .bib file, you'll have all your references
available.
When you need to insert one in your text, the command is Insert>
Citation reference.
Someone else will have to help you with the Harvard style, I am
afraid.
Cheers,
Stefano
