General ⇒ question about thebibliography

[waxranger]

Hello readers

I would like to ask a question regarding the thebibliography environment. When I typeset my document, LaTeX puts the bibliography item (created with \bibitem) on a new page, leaving the previous page with the "References" title empty (that is, no items are typeset on this initial page). I'm using the book.cls format, is this a standard behavior in book.cls, if so how can I tell LaTeX to typeset items on this first bibliograpy page too? If not, am I doing something wrong then?

that's what I'm using:

%Bibliography
\backmatter
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\include{bibliography/bib_supersonic}
\end{thebibliography}

Regards
Fab

Hi,

use \input instead of \include.

In the same vein, my bibliography is not showing up in the final PDF output of my work. I have used the following code

\backmatter

%%%%%%% Bibliography %%%%%%%

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybiblio}


Where 'mybiblio.bib' is in the same directory as the main tex file. Any ideas?

Did you recompile the bibliography file with BibTeX? Every time you add or remove a citation or bibliography entry, you have to update the bibliography using

Code: Select all

(pdf)latex
bibtex
(pdf)latex

(or something similar, depending on your operating system and distribution).
