BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Problem with successive authors

[biloud]

Hi all,

I am using BibTex and I have a little problem with the formatting of my references. When I have the same author for several successive references, the author's name is replaced by a line in the bibliography.

For example:
[1] W. P. Mason, Electrical wave filters employing quartz crystals as elements, Bell System Technical Journal, vol. 13, pp. 405-452, 1934.

[2]--------, An electromechanical representation of a piezoelectric crystal used as a transducer, Bell System Technical Journal, vol. 14, pp. 718-723, 1935.

I would like the name of the author to appear in the second line of the bibliography. Any idea on how to do that?

Thanks

Start by telling us which BibTeX style you use: this is not the standard behaviour of most styles.

[biloud]

The style is IEEEtranN.

[josephwright]

Okay, IEEEtranN and related styles provide a mechanism to alter this behaviour from within LaTeX. Can you post an example of your preamble so I can see what class/packages you are using (some IEEE ones provides hooks to alter the behaviour more easily).

[biloud]

Good morning,

Here is the part of the preamble containing the packages I am using:

\documentclass[b5paper,twoside,10pt]{book}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{epsf}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[bookmarks=true, linktocpage=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{array}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,
citecolor=black,
filecolor=black,
linkcolor=black,
urlcolor=black}
\usepackage[retainorgcmds]{IEEEtrantools}
\usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{ccaption}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage[square, comma, numbers, sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage[PetersLenny]{fncychap}% change the chapter style
\usepackage{tocbibind}

[josephwright]

Okay, you need to create a BibTeX file with the entry

Code: Select all

@IEEEtranBSTCTL{IEEE:BSTcontrol,
  CTLdash_repeated_names = "no",
}

Let's call this file CTLIEEEtrans.bib.

Then in your LaTeX file, put

Code: Select all

\bstctlcite{IEEE:BSTcontrol}

in the preamble, and

Code: Select all

\bibliography{CTLIEEEtrans, ...}

(plus your databases, of course) in the document body.

Thank you,

Michael.
