BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Can't get bib file working?

[exutable]

Hey guys,

I am trying to create a bibliography for my report but I can't crack it. I've tried a lot of different things and can't seem to get it to work.


Here is the bib file named referencer.bib:

Code: Select all

@article{sommerhusbranchen,
 author    = {Sommerhuse.dk ApS},
 title     = {Sommerhusbranchen og feriehusudlejningsbranchen i Danmark},
 publisher = {Sommerhuse.dk ApS},
 year      = {2006},
 address   = {http://www.sommerhuse.dk/ferie/sommerhusbranchen.html},
}

@article{kød-vs-grøntsager,
 author    = {Grønt Forum},
 title     = {Gode grønne råd},
 publisher = {Grønt Forum},
 address   = {http://www.groentforum.dk/gronneraad_13.html},
}

@article{oversvømmelser,
 author    = {Grønt Forum},
 title     = {Gode grønne råd},
 publisher = {Grønt Forum},
 address   = {http://www.groentforum.dk/gronneraad_13.html} 
}

@article{ens-dk-forbrug,
 author    = {Energi Styrelsen},
 title     = {Indsats i bygninger},
 publisher = {Energi Styrelsen},
 address   = {http://www.ens.dk/DA-DK/FORBRUGOGBESPARELSER/INDSATSIBYGNINGER/Sider/Forside.aspx} 
}

and my tex:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\input{../../preamble/preamble.tex}
\title{Problemanalyse for Klimastyring}
\author{B213}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\input{indledning.tex}
\input{hvem.tex}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{referencer} 
\end{document}

Just gives me a blank page, and I can't cite anything.

Any help appreciated, thanks

On the basis of the code you provided specific help is not possible. The code of the included files is unknown. Reduce the problem to minimal working example (MWE) that is small, complete and compilable without any irrelevant stuff.


Best regards and welcome to the board

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{referencer} 
\end{document}

There should be at least one \cite command in your source. The rest is explained by the BibTeX manual and the document »Tame the beast«.

\documentclass{report}

\title{Problemanalyse for Klimastyring}

\input{indledning.tex}
\input{hvem.tex}
\cite{ens-dk-forbrug}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{referencer} 
\end{document}

even if I do, I just get the typical question mark reference and no bib print out.

You certainly did a bibtex run on the *.aux file and afterwards twice more with (pdf)latex.

ah that helps, so for a website what is the best bib entry type to use?

[localghost]

I think biblatex could be helpful. It extends the list of entry types. For details refer to its manual. I know from natbib that it offers a »url« field for web documents with a standard entry type.
