Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ bibliography

[stijn]

Hey

I have a very strange problem, probably something stupid but I can't find it

I'm trying to use Bibtex feature to handle my bibliography but the .bbl file that's created is empty except for the \begin{thebibliography}{} \end{thebibliography}. I checked the .bib file and it does contain all my references. Ah btw, I use MiKTeX.

anybody have an idea what I am doing wrong?

If you are compiling with LaTeX, make sure you compile latex.exe twice before running BibTeX. Alternatively, compiling with texify.exe will do everything in one.

I also presume you have \cite{label} commands in the .tex file, and something like

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{BibName}

at the end of the .tex file.

I do use \cite{label} commands in the .tex file, and something like
Code:
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{BibName}
at the end of the .tex file.

but the problem isn't the fact that te labels don't show up, it's that I don't even get references at the end of the file.

That's why I cheked the .bbl file and noticed that the references I put in de .bib file don't get converted: The .bbl file just stays empty
--> \begin{thebibliography}{}
%nothing where there suppose to be something
\end{thebibliography}

Hello,

could you please post a minimal working example reproducing the error and (or at least) the BLG file created during your bibtex run?

Regards
Marcel

hey tnx, I didn't know the .blg file was a log for the bibtex so I found it: forgot a ',' in the bib entry
