BibTeX, biblatex and biber

Which command do I use to print out all the bibliographic entries in a .bib file (cited and not cited), so that they show up in my document's bibliography?

At the moment, I can only get the bibliographic entries that have been cited within the document.

Ideally, I would like to be able to print out all bibliographic entries (whether cited or not) sorted by key. Right now I can do this for cited entries using the command:

\printbibliography[keyword=history]

Any ideas? I have read through the biblatex manual and have done a lot of internet searching but couldn't find anything on this.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The \nocite{*} command should work here, too. See the biblatex manual (Section 3.6.6 - Special commands, p. 68f).

Thanks a lot - it worked!

Just so others can see how I've used this, here's the relevant bit at the end of my .tex file:

Code: Select all

\nocite{*}
\section*{Bibliographies}
\subsection*{Primary Sources}
\printbibliography[keyword=1]

\subsection*{Secondary Sources}
\printbibliography[keyword=2]
