Re: Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"
Thanks Julio Yes I checked the bibtex path is accurate. However I have since changed from biber to bibtex8 and now it is working. I don't think I necessarily need the additional features of biber at the moment, so for now this will suffice! Appreciate your help Brett.

Re: Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"
Two cents: Have you checked that the path to the bibtex file is absolute and full? Can you leave biber out and try biblatex alone?

Brett, I'm sorry to hear that biblatex is not working for you. Unfortunately I have no idea why that would be the case, except that it seems from the log snippet you posted that biber may not be running at all. Debugging requires more info on your part, I am afraid. Can you post a minimal lyx example, minimal bib file, and the complete latex log. Or send them to me privately. By "minimal" I really mean minimal: one or two lines for the lyx file, one ref for the bib file. On the other hand, if you are working against deadline, it may be better to keep working on Jurabib and switch to biblatex later. BTW, there used to be a jurabib-only mailing list, have you tried it? Or you may try comp.text.tex (via the google interface).

If I was still using Linux I'm sure it would be easy, but running LyX 2.0.2 on Windows with MikTeX 2.9, I just can't get bibtex/biber to spit out anything. I'm having the same result as this person: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11317 (i.e. bold keys in place of citations, and no bibliography printing out). I downloaded and updated the Test LyX files the person there managed to get working and can't even get them working on my installation - just prints BIB keys and no bibliography. So after an hour of trying to get biblatex working in place of jurabib, I'm down an hour on a tight deadline and still no closer to solving the only prob I have with jurabib which is the bibliography style :) Would be nice if LyX just supported biblatex natively... If anyone is interested, the LaTeX log is showing me the following when I try and output the PDF file: Package biblatex Info: Trying to load bibliographic data... Package biblatex Info: ... file 'Literature_Review_Draft.bbl' not found. No file Literature_Review_Draft.bbl. LaTeX Warning: Citation 'abs_labour' on page 2 undefined on input line 39. (The LyX file is called Literature_Review_Draft.bbl and is in one of my Documents folders. The BIB file is called ITMPResearch.bib and is in C:\Users\brett\AppData\Roaming\MikTeX\2.9, which is a MiKTeX-maintained root directory). Thanks in advance Brett.
Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"
Hi all I'm not sure this is entirely the right place to post this, but am hopeful nonetheless that someone can help me! I am starting to use BibTeX for referencing for the first time (used to be by hand). I need to use the Harvard referencing format so am using the jurabib style. In my LaTeX preamble, I have stolen bits from random sites to make it: \jurabibsetup{% titleformat=italic,% titleformat=commasep,% commabeforerest,% citefull=first,% lookat,% oxford,% pages=format,% idem% } Which basically makes everything as Harvard-ish as possible. The only thing which seems to be a problem is that when I have 4 or more authors, both the in-text reference AND the bibliography have "et al." in place of the remaining authors. I need to have "et al." in the in-text references, but all authors listed in the bibliography. Does anyone know how I can make this work? Thanks in advance Brett.
