BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography does not work anymore

[s140504]

Hello.

I used one of the existing guides to get my bibliography working.
It used to work - now i t doesn't and I'd like your help.

It does not print the bibliography neither does it rekognize the citations.

In main I have:

Code: Select all

%-----bibliography begin -----%
\usepackage[sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Bibliography.bib}
%-----bibliography end -----%

and later (after various texts):

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{empty}
\printbibliography

---
Is it not possible to insert photos here?

Welcome,

it is possible to attach images. Just go to attachments below the text field when writing a reply.

You have to run an external tool to get the bibliography database processed. Did you run it? What does the blg file say?

Please also have a look at https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/B ... _and_biber

These are some snippets that I took from code and Latex messages.

My problem is that it used to work and now it does not anymore.
I used a guide which included @book-"Einstein" and more and got it working then suddenly it did not anymore.

I will have a look in to your link. If you have any more knowledge based on the pictures please let me know.

Best regards Kristian

So I checked your links.

I am on Overleaf and according to what I can see below:

there should be no problem.

But when I look at my compiler options I do not have latexmk

??

I also have an issue with the frontpage but that issue is solved when I choose XeLaTeX or LuaLateX.

I will look uther in to it. Thanks

Hi Kristian,

welcome to the forum!

latexmk is a wrapper tool. You could add it to your compiler options, but it's not a must. What you need though, that's BibTeX or biber. Let's try the first one.

First you compile your document with LaTeX (can be either of pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, or LuaLaTeX, doesn't matter). Then you need to run bibtex on it. Either at the command line by entering "bibtex documentname" (no file name extension) or by running it as a compiler option in your editor. That generates the bilbliography. Then run the LaTeX compiler again to include it.

The usual routine is, every time you made considerable changes and want to compile,

• run LaTeX (to compile with your changes)
• run bibtex (if there were changes in the bibliography or with citations)
• run LaTeX again (to include the changed bibliography)
• run LaTeX again (to finally update references, such as page references in the table of contents)

That's why people use latexmk, to run all 4 steps automatically.

I don't run all 4 steps all the time. Just the first one, and from time to time (when bib data changed) or finally, I may run all 4 steps.

There is a comma missing after the isbn field.

I might be noob-ish.
When you say command-line you mean to put it in the code?

I don't get the "run bibtex/biber/biblatex" stuff. I just press compile and expect it to work lol.

Take me under your Latex/Overleaf-arms and bring me to paradise.

On bibtex.org I found:
$ latex myarticle
$ bibtex myarticle
$ latex myarticle
$ latex myarticle

This should go in the code? Or somehow in the compiler to get the latexmk working?

The command line means a terminal window on Mac OS X or on Linux, on windows it means the "cmd" program.

But modern LaTeX editors offer bibliography options by click-compiling or configuring. Which editor are you using?

I was moved to Overleaf from ShareLatex.

This is what my browser looks like:

And the menu:

By cmd you mean locally on the com like:

Thank you

You have several problems in your document. Fix them.

I mentioned the missing comma earlier.
Overleaf will run the necessary steps for you, but if there are errors, LaTeX has troubles.

Once the errors are fixed, recompile from scratch.

Don't worry about the command line of your OS.
