Dear Stefano, unfortunately I still can't get lyx to 1) show Author-Year , instead the bibtexkey shown 2) no bibliography listed at the end of the text
I am pretty sure the problem happens during generation of the PDF file. The reasons being, I could see all the reference in my Lyx document, I could cite the selected reference. They are nicely shown in lyx file, and nicely shown as Author-Year. The only problem is when I click preview, the PDF only shows the citation but only in bibtexkey and no bibliography printed. Anything to do with the module? or Windows 8? or probably with Lyx 2.0.6? --, what have I done wrong? still clueless --- Regards, Kamarul On Sat, Jan 11, 2014 at 1:30 AM, Stefano Franchi <stef...@tamu.edu> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 10:49 AM, KIM Musak <kim2u4...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Dear Stefano and all, >> >> Coming back to setting Lyx to work with biblatex, I am not so sure how to >> make it works in my Lyx.
