Hi Csikos,
I've provided a non-beta file with this e-mail. However, here the problem is
different, as I stated in the original e-mail. In the non-beta, even with
what I believe are the same settings (I'll admit I could be overlooking
something), the references don't load at all. There is no formatting of the
citations and no bibliography prints at the end. I would be happy to
continue to use the stable version of LyX if it meant I could get my
references and could format my ERT properly.
I have attached the PDFs of the non beta and the PDF of the earlier LyX file
and also the .bib file, as well, so that people can see what I'm seeing,
even if it's not reproducing on their machine.
Jason,
you file works fine here on LyX 2.0.7 (see attached). Citation and
bibliography are as you desire (I think).
What do you see in the log file?
Stefano

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble getting my bibliography and in-line citations
formatted properly. For some reason, the bibliography is sorting in the
order the references are cited, rather than in alphabetical order.
Moreover, inline citations that should be Author (YEAR) are Author
(Title). I'm using biblatex 2.8 and biber 1.8, with natbib and plainnat
style on Ubuntu 13.10 with Lyx 2.1.0dev (the references don't even load
in 2.0.7 for some reason).
In the same document, ERT with the ExPex package isn't formatting as
expected. I'm trying to get bold italics , but \bf gives me bold upright
characters and \textbf gives me one bold italicized character followed
by italics. I'm also trying to get small caps, but it's just plain
lowercase. Any thoughts or aid people can give would be most welcome.
I've attached an he.
Jason,
I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have only
lyx 2.0 installed.
Jason,
I have some general comments.
- Please do not top post. Always write your message _below_ the included
previous messages or _right_below_ to a part (of a previous message) you are
actually refer to.
- The examples you have provided are not minimal examples. Rather they are very
complex documents. Try to reduce the example to as simple as possible removing
unnecessary text, unnecessary options, and preamble settings but keeping those
that cause the error.
Back to the specific case:
In the bib file you attached in your previous mail (MasterList.bib) the last entry (@BOOK{UNICEF2009) is
incomplete and not correctly closed. There is a missing "}" at the end and I think "address =
" is not valid. The entry "Cohen1998" is not correct. For me this caused compilation error and
a very different output.
I am attaching the corrected bib file and two pdfs, compiled with the original,
and with the fixed bib file.
In your current message the log file indicates that during compilation bibtex is used. This
should be biber (backend is set to biber in the preamble). Maybe you have not set lyx to
use biber instead of bibtex under Tools=>Preferences=>Output=>LaTeX=>Processor:
biber. Make sure you have biber set there.
Hi Csikos,
,
Thanks for your helpful instructions, and for fixing my bibliography.
Unfortunately, they do not solve my problems. Any time I select biber as
the backend (in the preamble, in settings, in preferences, and in any
combination), the PDF does not compile. With your fix, in both the beta
and the stable version, I get two 'Undefined control sequence' errors,
one for \sortlist and the other for \endsortlist.
One more thing: bibtex and biblatex are two different things. Both uses a bib
bibliography style. Only bibtex uses bst style file. If you use biblatex it is
indifferent which style is chosen. The style is controlled by preamble options
or by biblatex.cfg file in biblatex.
It is worth to read the biblatex manual. (Not an easy reading as it is missing
a short introduction with clear examples.)
I have tried to read the biblatex manual, and I have been unable to
understand most of it.
Regards,
bcsikos
