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.

 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).

 Cheers,

 S.

Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of et al

2012-04-25 Thread Brett Randall
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.

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: ... 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

Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"

2012-04-25 Thread Brett Randall
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.

Thanks Stefano - I have tried biblatex and just can't get it to work. 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=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

Thanks in advance
