Bibliography Problem
Hi, I am writing a book with lyx and want a bibliography and the ability to cite items in the text. My references.bib file is correct. In my master document it appears at the end as "Biblatex Generated Bibliography" and in the pdf of the book the bibliography appears the way I want, as numbered items, e.g., [5] and sorted by author. I want the citation to look something like "Smith [5]" where the author's name appears in the citation. I don't have a citation style available (Insert->Citation) that allows this, the best I can do is just "[5]". How can I get "Smith [5]"? My latex preamble has \usepackage{biblatex}. In "Document->Settings->Bibliography" I have Style = Biblatex and Variant = Author-number. When I choose [#id] from the 3 citation styles available I get an error when trying to produce a pdf. The error message is "Latex Error: Option clash for package biblatex". Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this.

bibliography problem
Hi there, please excuse my earlier post in German - now in English: I have a terrible problem with Lyx at the moment: I a m trying to integrate a BibTex file as bibliography; however, Lyx doesn't seem to start Bibtex properly: there is no error code, but also, nothing happens: no bibliography shows up (although the source file seems to be ok), only some empty box. I am running Windows 7 on two different computers. It seems that Lyx is not compiling properly, and not communicating with the bibtex thing properly; however, running the file on a friend's Linux system does show the biography properly. Is there any idea what I can do about this? -It is, I have to say, really urgent... Any help much appreciated!

help: elsevier article( bibliography problem)
Hi, I am writing an article to be submitted to an Elsevier Journal. I am using article(elsevier). I require citation in simple number style "references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text.". The problem that I am facing is that my old references are in simple number style (this is an article previously written for different journal hence different style was used, but now I want it to be submitted to a different journal). Now whatever new citations I add and refer to them in my article they come in aurthor (number) format. what is puzzling me is that why two different type of citations in same article when settings are the same. Any help to solve this problem will be deeply appreciated. Regards Subir

Re: Bibliography problem and [?] questionmarks
This is all a bit advanced for me. All I can do about encoding is change the way I export to bibtex from zotero and I choose utf8 for that, but I don't know were else I can change encoding in my lyx file. I created a new lyx file, a new library in zotero, exported it in the same folder as y file, tried ti add citation and the same thing happens.

Re: Bibliography problem and [?] questionmarks
Hello, in my experience I have obtained the question marks ? in the PDF file obtained from LyX, instead of regular citations, in these 2 cases: 1) as Richard said: when LyX doesn't find the bibtex file, maybe because it has been moved after inserting citations AND / OR 2) when there is something wrong with the bibliographic style selected. Since weremoose says he was able to insert citations using the LyX commands, the file path should be right (at least at the moment of inserting citations). So one reason for the problem could be the second one. I would suggest to try to select different bibliographic styles from the proper menu and then save the file and compile in order to verify if this could be the problem. pierfranco 2010/1/7 rgheck > On 01/07/2010 09:23 AM, weremoose wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I am a mac user (currently on 10.6.2) and I decided to use LyX to write my >> thesis as it looked very promising.

Hey G. and Leandro! Thank to both of you - your tips helped. At least I already new about the bibtex styles that can be set, but it didn't work out. The problem obvisouly was that the bibtex style that I have set via the LyX properties dialog (e.g. abbrvnat) was overwritten by an "ERT" command that was directly written into the document (because I copied the document as a "template" from a fellow student of mine) .. copy-paste-error ;-) thank you for your help !!! hans Am Montag, den 18.02.2008, 11:03 +0100 schrieb G.

referencing of websites/URLs in bibliography problem
hi there, I have been using LyX for writing scientific documents for some years now and I am very happy with it. Some weeks ago, I got stuck with a problem and did not succeed in solving it yet. The problem is that I have to hold a submission deadline, i.e. the problem gets more and more urgent ;-) ANY tips that could help me are appreciated! I have to reference some websites/URLs in bibliography. My bibliography is a managed bibtex-file using JabRef. A exemplary bibtex entry looks like this: @OTHER{SJWTK, title = {Sun Java Wireless Toolkit}, owner = {hansp}, timestamp = {2007.12.16}, url = {http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/} } When I add a reference in the LyX document to the above, it is correctly printed in bibliography like the other entries - but the URL attribute is omitted, e.g.: [7] [8] Sun java wireless toolkit. [9] Are there any ways to make LyX also printing the URL's of bibtex entries??? regards, HANS signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Jurabib and Lyx: Bibliography problem
Hi, this is a minor problem, but an annoying one. In Jurabib documentation the format of each bibliographic reference shows: Brox, Hans: Allgemeiner Teil des Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches. 20th edition. Köln, Berlin, Bonn, München, 1996 But in my document all references are show like this one: Bobbio, Norberto: El tiempo de los derechos. Madrid: Sistema, 1991 As you can see, the address field (Madrid) is shown before the publisher (Sistema). I would like them to be switched, but don't know if this is the stardard Jurabib behavior, some configuration chosen by LyX or my own configuration problem.

If I leave the underscore(s) alone and use the \usepackage{url} in the preamble, then all whitespaces in the bibtex entry are lost in the output (which is NOT correct). The result is the same, if I use no preamble, but url={\url{...}} in the bibtex-entry instead. If I use both \usepackage and url={\url..., then the url in the output will begin with \url (which is also NOT correct). The only way I have managed to produce a correct output is the combination no preamble, url={site} format in a bibtex entry and all underscores in the site name as \_. You may twist and turn it like you will, but I have tested all possible (i.e. error-free) combinations and this is the only producing a correct, i.e. a WYSIWYM output. Please feel free to test it by yourself if you don't believe me.

Re: Bibliography problem [SOLVED]
Hi, OK, I found the solution by myself: If the url contains "_" characters, you will run into problems. These characters must be entered as \_. After having repaired the .bib entries containing _-characters, the output was produced correctly. Thanks anyway, Kimmo

Bibliography problem
Hi @ All, I have encountered an interesting problem with a document with a bibliography. I use a customised .bst file, originally created with "latex makebst". The problem seems to related with the following two bibtex entries created with JabRef: @ARTICLE{br2004a, author = br, title = {{B}undeskanzler {S}chröder: {D}ie deutsch-russischen {B}eziehungen waren noch nie so gut}, journal = br_online, year = {2004}, number = {8. Juli}, entrytype = {08.07.}, url = {{[}http://www.bundesregierung.de/dokumente/-,413.680598/Artikel/dokument.htm, besucht am 2. September 2005{]}}, } @ARTICLE{br2004b, author = br, title = {{A}usbau der deutsch-russischen {B}eziehungen auf allen {G}ebieten vereinbart}, journal = br_online, year = {2004}, number = {21. Dezember}, entrytype = {21.12.}, url = {\[http://www.bundesregierung.de/Politikthemen/Familie_-Kinder-und-Jugend/Nachrichten-,712.763157/artikel/Ausbau-der-deutsch-russischen-.htm, besucht am 2. September 2005\]}, } Article-entries should be formatted as follows: Author (Year), 'Title', Journal (in italics), vol(num), url, pages. When the output is produced, the first entry is formatted correctly, but the second entry has an emphasised url with extra line breaks before and after (related to the \, I suppose). The interesting point is, however, if I replace \[ (in the second entry) either with [ or {[}, I'll get several LaTeX errors complaining problems with the second entry! I have no idea why some of these entries are working whereas the others cause errors when producing the output. I would be glad if you could help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance & kind regards, Kimmo
Bibliography problem
Hello, I have a multi-part document with chapters as separate files. I've put the bib file within a separate lyx file. When i run lyx to get the output under linux, my bibliography doesn't appear. But under a windows installation it does. All my file paths for images etc within lyx are relative and they show up okay. In both cases lyx (ver 1.3.3) can see the bib file when i'm inserting citations. This is the directory structure that i have got. [Top] |->thesis.lyx {Include Chapter1 > Chaptern} |->preamble.tex |->refs.bib [chapter1] |->chapter1.lyx . . . [chaptern] |->chaptern.lyx [References] |->ref.lyx {Inserted bibtex reference here(../refs.bib)} [Images] [chapter1] . . . [chaptern] Thanks Isa
