BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Undefined control sequence when I try to use citet and citep

[prince_2018]

Hello
I am working on the template below for a conference paper and whenever I try to use \citet or \citep, it says "underfind control sequence"

I would very much appreciate your help as I have a submission deadline.
Thanks a bunch

I guess you did not load the natbib package.

\usepackage{natbib}

The template uses the bibiography packae apalike. You should replace that by natbib, as only natbib provides the commands you want to use.

I used natbib, however when I compile I get the following:
Command \bibhang already defined. \newlength{\bibhang}

[Johannes_B]

Replace apalike in the example code with natbib.

Sidenote: A conference for future information systems ships a file that is distributed with every TeX distribution in an updated manner. That file is from 2000, and many updates have been done to not only for the article class. Package subfigure is deprecated for over a decade, epsfig should only be used for compatibility to documents pre 1994.

I replaced it and got the following

\bibhang already defined. \newlength{\bibhang}
Suggestions?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Quick fix: disable \bibhang before loading natbib:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{apalike}
\let\bibhang\relax
\usepackage{natbib}

To make full use of natbib, you could check out options and possibilities in the natbib manual.
