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.
Hi Jason,
my suggestion to get out of the problem you find yourself is the same
as Cskos's: try to reduce the number of variables as much as possible
in order to isolate the root of the problem.
The first thing you need to find out is whether you have a working
biblatex+biber installation.
1. Make a new lyx file using one of the standard classes (book,
article), add )only* your biblatex call to the preamble (the
\usepackage and the \addbibresource commands), and put no more than
one word of text in the file itself, plus a couple of references at
most. See what happens.
If biblatex/biber work in the simplest possible scenario, you can
start to work on your (very complex) preamble.
I created a new document with just two citations using BiBLaTeX and biber,
and the document still fails to compile, giving me the same two errors that
I cited above, for \sortlist and \endsortlist.
I notice in my BiBTeX log it says
WARN - Warning: Found biblatex control file version 1.7, expected version
2.5
It wouldn't surprise me if this is the culprit, but I have no clue about how
to fix it.
