Bibliography does not work anymore

Post by s140504 »

Ok.
What I did was to change all \\ to \newline.
I thought that was the way lol. I will change them to... nothing?
I will look through the bib file now and get back.

@Johannes. I did read an instruction and I followed guides to make bibliography etc.
I will never be a programmer. But hopefully I will get this document right and become an electrical engineer by January : )
Have a nice day

If you want to start a new paragraph, leave an empty line.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I removed all \\ and \newline

I now have

Code: Select all

\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
In the preamble and it looks ok.

To ad space some places I can use \vspace{1cm} without any issues?

Almost all hbox warnings are gone.

This is my full bibliography (I corrected third line as it was wrong):

Bibliography does not work anymore

It looks as if the errors are alike in both documents.
The way to formulate line 3 as well as the last bracket "}" shows as error.

In the one I posted there are some in use and some that are not. I don't know if that could case an issue.
E.g. the book by "yjtjy".

Do not use commas to separate author names. Use the word and.

On the footer:

I tried taking out the E's and it shows no warning but yields the footer incorrectly.

This is how it shows now:
Capture34.PNG
Capture34.PNG (55.69 KiB) Viewed 4310 times
And the code for header/footer:

Code: Select all

%-----header/footer -----%
\lhead{\includegraphics[height=0.5cm]{figurer/DTU/DTU_Logo.jpg}}
\chead{s140504}
\rhead{\includegraphics[height=0.5cm]{figurer/BWSC/bwsclogo.jpg}}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{Page \thepage \hspace{1pt} of \pageref{LastPage}}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\fancyfoot[LO,CE]{Section \thesection}
\fancyfoot[CO,RE]{Kristian Dalgaard}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.5pt}
%-----header/footer -----%
I get that the issue is on the 1- or 2- sided but I still don't get what I can do and the E's have a function as the text is wrong without them.
I don't know how to proceed?

I told you before: you do not have a twosided document but set the options for a twoside document. This is pointless.

I cannot help with the other stuff, you are just providing shots but no real clue what really happens.
