Re: Bibtex question: van von de di della etc Name: HowTo?

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

Note, though, that BibTeX (or Biblatex) can only parse the name properly
without any braces, and if it given in one of the following three forms:

First von Last
von Last, First
von Last, Jr, First

That is, the example should be entered as:

de la Iglesia, H. O. and Cambras, T.

or

H. O. de la Iglesia and T. Cambras

Then, it is the task of the bibtex or biblatex style file output the name
as you prefer.

(BTW I would also enter always complete first names. The style file can
abbreviate that to initials, if desired).

 or possibly

Hello:

If Stephano's  example file is working it might be that your bib file causes 
the problem.

What I suggest is:

1. Copy your bib file to the same place where you have the working example file.
2. If it still doesn't work, try to remove parts from your bib file step by 
step (first make a backup of the original bib file), and check if it works. 
This may help find the lines of the bib file that causes the problem.

That does not look like the output from biber. Are you sure you are looking
at the latex log in lyx, and selected the bibtex option from the drop
down menu?




 I wonder what

xdg-open is just the program that will try to find a suitable program to
open the pdf file, in your case that will most likely be okular (or
acroread, depending on your setup).

This should be okay. You are not using a custom data model, and authoryear

Here is the main issue: biber cannot find your bib file (lisp.bib).
Notice that I had (wrongly) assumed you were working, like Wolfgang, on a
linux system. But you are on Windows and the /tmp directory makes no sense
in that context. There is no standard /tmp directory in windows. And
slashes are reversed, as far as I remember. So you should modify my test
file:

- copy the lisp.bib file to a local directory you own (perhaps the same
directory you put my text lyx file in)

- insert the exact pathname of the file in your preamble in the
\addbibresource command. I actually do not know how to do that in
Windows--Windows users on the list may be able to help. Assuming you put
your lisp.bib file I would try something like
\addbibresource{C:\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib}
or
\addbibresource{\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib}

Re: Bibtex question: van von de di della etc Name: HowTo?

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

2014/1/13 Wolfgang Engelmann engelm...@uni-tuebingen.de

 Thanks for this. Is there a site which shows examples for various styles
 which give an output like

 Iglesia, de la

 in the references.

 I used Kluwer style and the output is

 de la Iglesia



I am not aware of any. There are several bibtex style comparision sites
online, but none uses a von-example.

However, tweaking an existing style file should not be too hard. For
instance, in Kluwer, you'll find:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{  }
{ {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.} author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{  }
{ {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.} editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 
{  (eds) * }
{  (ed.) * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

Where you have:

vv = von-part (spelled-out)
ll = Last name (spelled-out)
jj = junior-part (spelled-out)
f. = first name (abbreviated).

So, without testing, I suppose the following change will do the trick:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{  }
{ {ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv} author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{  }
{ {ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv} editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 
{  (eds) * }
{  (ed.) * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

As always: do not modify the original file directly, but make a copy.

Jürgen,

By parse properly, do you mean that the use of braces may override the
design of the .bst file, or is there more to it (such as creating problems
with spacing)? My usage patterns in the past may have been somewhat
atypical. I would write for journals that do not have a .bst file (and may
not accept LaTeX submissions), so I would use a convenience .bst file
(such as plainnat) and override the formatting of name prefixes using braces.

I found a somewhat helpful PDF file at
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-2/tb87hufflen.pdf; at least it clarifies
von v. Von. I'm not entirely sure if there is a definitive proper choice
between von Kleist, Heinrich and Kleist, Heinrich von, although I
personally prefer the former.

There is graphical bibtex style file (bst file) generator, bib-it.

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/

It is a java application. In the tools menu there is a style-generator option.

Its usage is documented here:

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/help/generateBibstyle.php

It saves two bst files. One ending with .bst for numbered citations, and 
another one ending with _nat.bst for author-name citations.

Hello:

If Stephano's  example file is working it might be that your bib file causes 
the problem.

What I suggest is:

1. Copy your bib file to the same place where you have the working example file.
2. If it still doesn't work, try to remove parts from your bib file step by 
step (first make a backup of the original bib file), and check if it works. 
This may help find the lines of the bib file that causes the problem.

xdg-open is just the program that will try to find a suitable program to

Here is the main issue: biber cannot find your bib file (lisp.bib).
Notice that I had (wrongly) assumed you were working, like Wolfgang, on a
linux system. But you are on Windows and the /tmp directory makes no sense
in that context. There is no standard /tmp directory in windows. And
slashes are reversed, as far as I remember. So you should modify my test
file:

- copy the lisp.bib file to a local directory you own (perhaps the same
directory you put my text lyx file in)

- insert the exact pathname of the file in your preamble in the
\addbibresource command. I actually do not know how to do that in
Windows--Windows users on the list may be able to help. Assuming you put
your lisp.bib file I would try something like
\addbibresource{C:\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib}
or
\addbibresource{\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib}

Re: Bibtex question: van von de di della etc Name: HowTo?

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

2014/1/13 Wolfgang Engelmann engelm...@uni-tuebingen.de

 Thanks for this. Is there a site which shows examples for various styles
 which give an output like

 Iglesia, de la

 in the references.

 I used Kluwer style and the output is

 de la Iglesia



I am not aware of any. There are several bibtex style comparision sites
online, but none uses a von-example.

However, tweaking an existing style file should not be too hard. For
instance, in Kluwer, you'll find:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{  }
{ {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.} author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{  }
{ {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.} editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 
{  (eds) * }
{  (ed.) * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

Where you have:

vv = von-part (spelled-out)
ll = Last name (spelled-out)
jj = junior-part (spelled-out)
f. = first name (abbreviated).

So, without testing, I suppose the following change will do the trick:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{  }
{ {ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv} author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{  }
{ {ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv} editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 
{  (eds) * }
{  (ed.) * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

As always: do not modify the original file directly, but make a copy.

Jürgen,

By parse properly, do you mean that the use of braces may override the
design of the .bst file, or is there more to it (such as creating problems
with spacing)? My usage patterns in the past may have been somewhat
atypical. I would write for journals that do not have a .bst file (and may
not accept LaTeX submissions), so I would use a convenience .bst file
(such as plainnat) and override the formatting of name prefixes using braces.

I found a somewhat helpful PDF file at
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-2/tb87hufflen.pdf; at least it clarifies
von v. Von. I'm not entirely sure if there is a definitive proper choice
between von Kleist, Heinrich and Kleist, Heinrich von, although I
personally prefer the former.

There is graphical bibtex style file (bst file) generator, bib-it.

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/

It is a java application. In the tools menu there is a style-generator option.

Its usage is documented here:

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/help/generateBibstyle.php

It saves two bst files. One ending with .bst for numbered citations, and 
another one ending with _nat.bst for author-name citations.

This should be okay. You are not using a custom data model, and authoryear
using the default, not its own datamodel. So no problems there.

This means that biber failed to produce your bibbliography references (they
would have ended up in a .bbl file, which now biblatex is looking for and
not finding.

More of the above. No bbl found, hence your referennces are all undefined.

Here is the main issue: biber cannot find your bib file (lisp.bib).
Notice that I had (wrongly) assumed you were working, like Wolfgang, on a
linux system. But you are on Windows and the /tmp directory makes no sense
in that context. There is no standard /tmp directory in windows. And
slashes are reversed, as far as I remember. So you should modify my test
file:

- copy the lisp.bib file to a local directory you own (perhaps the same
directory you put my text lyx file in)

- insert the exact pathname of the file in your preamble in the
\addbibresource command. I actually do not know how to do that in
Windows--Windows users on the list may be able to help. Assuming you put
your lisp.bib file I would try something like
\addbibresource{"C:\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib"}
or
\addbibresource{\Users\YOURHOMEDIR\Documents\lisp.bib}

I am not aware of any. There are several bibtex style comparision sites
online, but none uses a von-example.

However, tweaking an existing style file should not be too hard. For
instance, in Kluwer, you'll find:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{ "" }
{ "{vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.}" author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{ "" }
{ "{vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.}" editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 >
{ " (eds)" * }
{ " (ed.)" * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

Where you have:

vv = von-part (spelled-out)
ll = Last name (spelled-out)
jj = junior-part (spelled-out)
f. = first name (abbreviated).

So, without testing, I suppose the following change will do the trick:

FUNCTION {format.authors}
{ author empty$
{ "" }
{ "{ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv}" author format.names }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.editors}
{ editor empty$
{ "" }
{ "{ll}{, jj}{, f.}{~vv}" editor format.names
  editor num.names$ #1 >
{ " (eds)" * }
{ " (ed.)" * }
  if$
}
  if$
}

As always: do not modify the original file directly, but make a copy.

Jürgen,

By "parse properly", do you mean that the use of braces may override the
design of the .bst file, or is there more to it (such as creating problems
with spacing)? My usage patterns in the past may have been somewhat
atypical. I would write for journals that do not have a .bst file (and may
not accept LaTeX submissions), so I would use a "convenience" .bst file
(such as plainnat) and override the formatting of name prefixes using braces.

I found a somewhat helpful PDF file at
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-2/tb87hufflen.pdf; at least it clarifies
"von" v. "Von". I'm not entirely sure if there is a definitive proper choice
between "von Kleist, Heinrich" and "Kleist, Heinrich von", although I
personally prefer the former.

Paul

There is graphical bibtex style file (bst file) generator, bib-it.

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/

It is a java application. In the tools menu there is a style-generator option.

Its usage is documented here:

http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/help/generateBibstyle.php

It saves two bst files. One ending with .bst for numbered citations, and 
another one ending with _nat.bst for author-name citations.
