I have a document (my CV, actually) where I want to use full bibliographic
references in the text, but I do not want any reference section at the end of
the document. I used to solve this problem with a strategy similar to what is
recommended for biblatex. Namely:
1. Insert bibliography "the Lyx way" (Insert>List/Toc>BibTeX bibliography) at
the end of the document
2. Put the inserted bibliography in a Lyx note.
These two steps give access to the reference from within the LyX document
3. Add the ERT commands \bibliographystyle{style} \nobibliography{absolute
/path/to/file.bib}
The final step takes care of omitting the reference section at the end of the
formatted document.
I have been using this method for years without any problems. Yet today, when
I tried to update and print my Cv, I found out that LyX cannot find the
references when producing the (pdf)Latex file and puts the infamous question
marks in their place in the final pdf file. Yet, if I export to Latex and
compile manually everything works as expected.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? The Latex log tells me nothing
useful---the usual list of "Latex Warning: Citation XXX is undefined on line
YYY"
This sounds like something that has been reported a few times recently,
involving environment variables set from the shell that aren't being set
when LyX is run from an icon. Try running LyX itself from the shell and
see if that helps.
