Hi, all,

I ended up sending this message in a "reply" to another message which it has nothing to do with, so I'm re-sending it. It could be that no one had anything to say in the first place -- I apologize for cluttering up the list with a reposting if that's the case!

At the end of my dissertation, I would like to include a bibliography which is divided into sections like "References for Chapter 1", "References for Chapter 2", etc. I do not want separate bibliographies at the end of each chapter. The package \chapterbib with the "gather" option seems just what I want, only I can't get it to work for my LyX document.

I am using a master document, with several \included sub-documents. All of these are of the report (koma-script) class. At the end of each of the sub-documents (generally chapters), I have placed a \bibliography (through the Insert > List/TOC > BibTeX Bibliography command) *within* a "comment" box. Then, at the end of the Master document, I have again a bibliography, but not in a "comment" box. They are all (especially in the Master document; I don't know if the others matter) of style "plunsrt" since I want them listed in the order in which they're cited in the text. In the Master file's preamble, I have \usepackage{chapterbib}, although at the moment, it doesn't seem to matter whether or not I have this (probably because the bibliographies are in comment boxes?). Things seem to work as expected (one big unsectioned bibliography at the end). However, if I use the "gather" option to chapterbib, the bibliography shows up in the TOC (if I have that option checked), but does not show up in the actual document.

I note that in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12585.html from 2001, someone was having the same sort of problems. A work-around, by Dekel Tsur, was to not use chapterbib, and do some fancy legwork in the /bin/bibtex program, or recompile LyX with some things changed. I have not tried these things, although I might if I can't find another solution. Is there now an easier way to get a single end-of-document sectioned bibliography with LyX? It seems to me that the "Sectioned bibliography" checkbox isn't what I want, but I could be wrong.

         Regards,
                 Curtis O.
