Re: Problem with bibliography compilation

2016-09-22 Thread Dr Eberhard W Lisse

That (leaving RTF) will happen if you mess with Microsoft products.

What you really need to do is to get a proper BIB management tool,
such as JabRef or BibDesk (on the Mac).

The latter is my favorite.

The you someplace like http://www.doi2bib.org nad have it generate the
BIB for each reference and copy and paste into BibDesk's buffer to
save into the final file.  Other literature databases can also output
in BIB.

BibDesk also works with LyX, actually, which is very cool.

Well, just follow this advise, that is:

Dear all,
thank you very much for your very kind help. I have now a much better
file, but still telling me :
"\newblock {\em Gait &

posture}, 30(4):528--532, 2009.

I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark

here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is

simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace

up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,

you're probably due for more error messages, and you

might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable."

and in the errors box:

"Misplaced alignment tab character &."

Sorry, my skillls in Bibtex should appear as very bad

Any help?
Thanks,
Harold

Try removing the backslashes from line 9 (the first article) to the end. 
I'm not sure why they are there (search-replace run amok?), but they are

This file has several problems.

* Line 1--8 seem to be complete garbage. Remove them.

* Line 78f. and 101f.: dito.

* Several brackets are escaped by backslash, i.e. \{ and \} instead of
{ and }. Remove the backslashes.

* Also, remove the trailing \ in the lines.

See attachment, which should fix all these issues.

How did you generate this file?

elsarticle problem with bibliography

2014-01-28 Thread Bieniasz

Hi,
I am trying to use the LyX template for Elsevier articles (elsarticle),
and I have the following problem. I want to refer to various bibliographic
items by numbers (no author names), for example:

"As was shown in [10], bla bla"

and I want to make the reference list manually, that is without using
BibTeX. Whatever format of bibliography I choose in Document settings,
in the pdf file I always get something like:

"As was shown in (Author??) [10], bla, bla"

Is there any way to get rid of that "(Author ??)" phrase?

thank you!
In the meantime, I fixed some of my problems and I'm pretty happy with
the results.
- part of my problem apparently was a bad bib-file, which I fixed now.
- I found a good solution for deleting the short titles from my
reference list: \renewcomma...@biblabel[1]{} in the LateX preamble did
the trick. I found the suggestion here:
http://texnik.dante.de/cgi-bin/mainFAQ.cgi?file=bibtex/bibtex#nolabel
- I did manage to change the square brackets around the citations in
the text to round ones with:
\renewcomman...@cite}[2]{({#1...@tempswa , #2\fi})} in the preamble

I am still looking for a way to get rid of the brackets around the
year in my citations. Right now, they look like this: (Talos(2008)),
and I want them to look like (Talos 2008).
so, if anybody has suggestions, that would be great!

apart from that though, I'm very happy with the results for now.

thank you very much for your reply!
what style did you choose for the bibliography itself? (when you right
click on "BibTeX Generated Bibliography" -> Settings... to choose the
bib-file and the citation style from the list)

I ask because, unfortunately, the preamble produced two error messages
for me (see below). but maybe it depends on what corresponding style
you choose? (I did choose natbib in Document -> Settings ->
Bibliography...)

The error messages:

Undefined control sequence.
 \bibpunct
  {(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
 \bibpunct{(

The solution works for me.

See  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX
Using NatbibTo set up LyX to use natbib, go to

Add the following line to your LaTeX preamble:

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)"

2009-06-15 Thread Lea Rennert
Thank you! I fixed my bib-file (it did miss a year!), so that was
certainly good advice. I also downloaded some additional packages
through Miktex and tried out some other citation styles. Some of them
work (such as apalike or plain), but the ones I would need don't.

The citation styles that don't work all give me a lot of error
messages saying "Undefined control sequence." and the error
descriptions look something like this (this one came when I used the
style chicago):

" ...r{Aiginger}{Aiginger}{2007}]{Aiginger.2007}

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."

I do not know why the name of the author (Aiginger) is repeated so
often, that is not the case in my bib-file. In other error messages,
symbols like % suddenly appear in the text where there are non in the
bibtex file.

Does anybody know what the problem might be?

I tried different encodings when I exported my references from citavi
to bibtex (UTF-8, US-ASCII, Western European (ISO), ...) but nothing
changed. Is there a specific encoding I should use?

Thank you!

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)"

When I choose the style "plain", creating a pdf works without

Text - e.g.: [2, 192] - and in the Bibliography, which is not what I
want.

  
This is almost always due to some sort of error in your bib file. A 
missing year in an entry, for example, will force BibTeX to use 
numerical citations rather than author-year citations.



All the other styles I've tried (natbib, plainnat, apacite, ...)
produce various error messages when I create a PDF, and in the PDF the
Bibliography is all garbled up (Authors' names appear several times,
the German Umlaut-Letters like ö/ä/ü are not printed, formatting is
messed up, etc.).

  
If these are written with umlauts in the bib file, that also could cause 
a problem. It depends very much upon encoding issues and the like.



I have been looking for a solution for hours now, and I am just not
sure where my problem lies or what to do next. Should I try changing
the document settings in Lyx (in the Preamble, for example)? Or do I
need a program to edit the bib-file? Which program would be easy to
use on windows? Or could the problem be that my .bib-file is not
configured right?

  
A bib file is just a text file, so you can open it in notepad or 
whatever. But you might want to use something like JabRef, which will 
give you a nice interface to the file.

Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)"

2009-06-15 Thread Lea Rennert
Hi,

I am writing my thesis in the book (KOMA-script) - class, and need my
citations in author-year style in the text (e.g., xxx (Freud 1928, 15)
xxx), and sorted by author (not numbered) in the bibliography.
I am maintaining my literature-database in citavi, from where I can
export the references into .bib documents.
I am working with Lyx 1.6.2 on windows, and I did not use a
bibtex-editor or anything like that.

In Document > Settings > Bibliography I chose natbib with author-year
style. I inserted the Bibliography through Insert > List/TOC..., where
I uploaded my .bib-file.
When I choose the style "plain", creating a pdf works without
problems, but the Bibliography shows up using numbers, both in the

I hope for someone with more experience it is easier to tell where I
went wrong... :-)
Thank you so much for your help!

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the picture (big J, asterisk, 
"References" heading, nothing else).  Did it get posted intact?  Perhaps 
you could post a minimal example (.lyx + .bib)?

Are you using the command \url or \href for links? hyperref settings only have 
an effect on \href.

You must also run bibtex, e.g.

latex mydoc
bibtex mydoc
latex mydoc

That should work. Note that bibtex must be called without the .tex suffix.

problem with bibliography

2004-02-15 Thread Harold Mouras

Dear Lyx users,
I have a little problem regarding the formatting of my bibliography. When I
create a document into Lyx with the appropriate settings, all works find
compiling the document regarding the bibliography. But when I export the
same document in latex format from Lyx, when I latex thos document, any
reference is no more found and the bibliography not formatted.
Would anyone have an idea about this problem?
THank you very much in advance,
Harold
