Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

This thread and a couple of earlier ones (all with apa6 as part of the subject line) are all I know about at the moment. I am not even sure if it has official LyX support at the moment though it should have soon (http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail). The

APA is taking over the world !   As the founder and president of the Society for the Abolition of Footnotes and Endnotes (S.A.F.E.) I  find this heartening. For not APA users, APA style strongly discourages the use of footnotes -- I don't think they even mention the herasy of endnotes.

Further progress report.  I finally got apa6 with biblatex working. I think I was managing to introduce a new problem eery time I fixed one.  I am not an intuitive LyX/LaTeX user. I also can report that at, least in Canada, some Nuclear Technologist students at the college level use APA style;

Thanks. It worked.  I think the main problem was the spaces in the backend=biber. I had tried all the other changes at one point or the other but it never occurrd to me that a space would be illegal. Now I just have to get busy translating refs to biblatex form and I may be off and running.

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

Thanks very much.  I think that Jurgen noticed a major problem spaces in backend = biber which seem to be the cause of the problem (as far as I can tell). On any case the example ran.  Other than that I did basically the same things in Ubuntu that you did in Windows.  I had not realised
