Hi all, Just beginning to use Lyx. I have it running (version 1.3.4) on ubuntu linux. I have installed pybliographer, and am now trying to figure out how to coordinate the various bits and pieces.
Excuse me if I spell it out step by step, so you kind technical people will be able to see what steps I am missing. 1) I use the pybliographic interface to collect my references together in a .bib file. 2) I establish a lyxpipe. 3) I Insert>Lists and TOC>Bibtex reference at the bottom of the document. This will start inserting and ordering works referred to in the body of the document in an ordered bibliography. 4) In the dialogue brought up by Insert>Lists and TOC>Bibtex reference, I Browse to find the .bib file I want to use. I select Open, and then press OK. 5) This inserts the box "BibTex Generated References" at the bottom of the document. 6) Having thus indicated what bibliography I am using, when I want to insert a citation (for example, in a footnote) I choose Insert>Citation Reference, and then choose from the codes available the one for the work I want to cite. That's the procedure as I understand it. But I've clearly missed something, since it doesn't work. I would expect the full title, author details and publication details to be inserted both at the point of the insertion and in the bibliography. Instead I get closed and empty square brackets. When I've overcome this difficulty, I gather the next difficulty will be to get it to format the references correctly. Since I am working in the humanities, I think this will mean trying to figure out jurabib. I've been looking around for a while for a tutorial for non-technical beginners on all of this, but whatever I've found is way beyond my comprehension. Hopefully someone can offer some guidance? Thanks, Declan
