Re: BibTeX and Natbib

[Eduardo de Oliveira Horta]

So it seems all that was needed to do was to select the plainnat.bst
as the bibliography style. Now it`s working fine.

I have another question, though: is it possible to configure the style
in the references section when I added it the way I mentioned in my
previous mail (that is, insert  List/TOC  BibTeX bibliography...)?

I guess this configuration is controlled by some bst or sty file, but
have no clue as to which, neither as how to edit them...

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks, and best regards,

Eduardo

 This means that there is an error in your bib file that is preventing BibTeX
 from reading the author-year combination correctly. It can be many things
 that cause it, but a missing year is often the culprit. The best way to
 debug is to export to LaTeX and compile the file manually. Then you should
 see error messages sufficient to locate the problem.

The various styles (.bst files) are documented in many places. One such 
place is here:


http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html

See if you can find a style that matches your need.

Alternatively you can create your own style by answering questions using 
a command-line tool (custom-bib, bib-it)


If you are adventurous you can learn bibtex's stack language syntax and 
modify an existing style to your liking or write your own.


Good luck,

Any help would be welcome.

BibTeX and Natbib

[Eduardo de Oliveira Horta]

Hello LyX community,

I'm facing a little problem which I'm sure is a recurrent (and
hopefully easy to solve) one.

I have a .bib file with all my references, and I've added the
bibliography as usual through

insert  List/TOC  BibTeX bibliography...

The file exports to pdf as a charm, with all citations numbered,
within brackets and no author names. Ok. Now I would like my citations
to be formated as author-year. I've changed the citation style to
Natbib (in Document  Settings  Bibliography  Citation Style). The
LyX file displays the citations correctly, but when I compile it to

(author?) [1]

for example. Interestingly, the link [1] takes me to the correct place
in the bibliography.

BibTeX and natbib

[Kevin Middleton]

I am having some trouble getting BibTeX and the natbib package to work with 
LyX.  I searched the archive but couldn't find anything that helped.  As I 
am fairly new to both packages as well as LyX to some extent, I suspect 
that the problem is pretty basic.

natbib is declared in the preamble.

I have some text that includes a reference such as \citet{jon90}.

My bib file is 'thebib.bib', which includes a reference 'jon90'.

I have tried two methods, both of which produce the same results:
1. Using the insert BibTeX bibliography feature of LyX with 'thebib' and 
'plainnat' as the file and style.
2. Giving the LaTeX commands \bibliographystyle{plainnat} 
\bibliography{thebib}

I have also tried using other styles (harvard, apalike) with the same results.

The results are:  The output is a dvi where the references in the text are 
replaced with '?' and the 'References' section is created but is empty.

No errors are generated.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Kevin

Subject: BibTeX and natbib


I am having some trouble getting BibTeX and the natbib package to work with 
LyX.  I searched the archive but couldn't find anything that helped.  As I 
am fairly new to both packages as well as LyX to some extent, I suspect 
that the problem is pretty basic.

natbib is declared in the preamble.

I have some text that includes a reference such as \citet{jon90}.

My bib file is 'thebib.bib', which includes a reference 'jon90'.

I have tried two methods, both of which produce the same results:
  1. Using the insert BibTeX bibliography feature of LyX with 'thebib' and 
'plainnat' as the file and style.
  2. Giving the LaTeX commands \bibliographystyle{plainnat} 
\bibliography{thebib}

I have also tried using other styles (harvard, apalike) with the same results.

The results are:  The output is a dvi where the references in the text are 
replaced with '?' and the 'References' section is created but is empty.

No errors are generated.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have a look at a file with .blg suffix in the working temporary of lyx
Bibtex errors go there.
Hopefully self explaining...

This was a bug with lyx = 1.1.6fix2.
Upgrade to lyx 1.1.6fix3 (BTW, lyx 1.1.6fix4 should be out soon).
