Re: literature incomplete in pdf

[Margret Mueller]

thank you both a lot
somehow i am not able (neither any of my more experienced lyx friends to
turn my dissertation into a biblatex. it gives always multiple errors (i
tried many times)... T1 inputenc error..(?)
that is why i wondered if there was another (nonpainful) way

Best regards
Margret

 Hi,

 it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply
 doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field
 unknown is ignored. For example, non of the bst styles i know have a
 defined date field, but all just support a year entry.


 Please consider the following example:
 %%
 \documentclass{article}
 \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
 @bok{nobook,
 author={maggie},
 title={the title},
 }
 @misc{entry,
 date={2015-05-11},
 author={maggie},
 titel={not title, but titel},
 }
 \end{filecontents}
 \begin{document}
 \nocite{*}
 \bibliographystyle{plain}
 \bibliography{\jobname}
 \end{document}
 %%


 Making biblatex work might be a fruitful endeavour, as hacking bst-styles
 is a pain.

 Johannes

The real error messgae would be better. For example, inputenc doesn't 
know the option T1, but package fontnec does. I guess this is a typo, 
though.


It is also possible, that you have characters in your bibliography 
database, that are not known for your current encoding and need to be 
defined first.


There is a pretty simple algorithm to limit the reasson to a very small 
area, called *creating a minimal working example* [1]. That is 
something, in my opinion, best done down at the pure LaTeX level, as LyX 
can and its extra stuff can be quite confusing and distracting.


Once we have a bit of actual code producing the error, i am sure we can 
find a solution.

You should really switch to biblatex. It is the way to fine tune your 
bibliography and make certain fields appear or not. If you stick with 
natbib, it is much more difficult.

Try to compile the examples in the biblatex package from the command line to 
check that you have all what is needed to have biblatex functionning and 
then go back to LyX.
