BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Chapterbib, citation with[?]: How to solve this problem?

[vietnamica]

Dear all

I am using chapterbib. Whenever there should be a citation, i get [?] instead of [1] for example. Please advise.

I did lambda main tex file --> bibtex included 1st file --> bibtex included 2nd file --> lambda main tex file --> lambda main tex file --> dvipdfmx main tex file.

Thank you very much.

There may be some conflicts between chapterbib and hyperref.

My hyperref is as follows

Code: Select all

\usepackage[dvipdfm,bookmarks=true,backref,colorlinks,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black, filecolor=black,menucolor=black,pagecolor=black,urlcolor=black,pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref}

What is »lambda« in this context? Note that you have to process each separate *.aux file with BibTeX. And drop the dvipdfm option. It is completely useless.


Best regards

I use lamdda.exe to compile instead of latex.exe. This helps me with Omega and Vietnamese.

You are right on option dvipdfm. When I use hyperref package with dvipdfm option, then citation mark becomes [?]. When I do not use hyperref, then chapterbib works well.

In the table of content, there is an entry of Bibliography as the last section of each chapter. How can I remove this entry in the table of content?

[…] In the table of content, there is an entry of Bibliography as the last section of each chapter. How can I remove this entry in the table of content?

I assume that the chapterbib manual will tell you that. You can access it on the command prompt.

Code: Select all

texdoc chapterbib

I read several chapterbib manuals. Now there are two problems:

1. Without hyperref, I cannot create bookmarks.

2. The option [sectionbib] of chapterbib - i used this option - makes Bibliography a section* instead of a chapter*. Thus, there is last section of Bibliography in the Table of Content. I want NO bibliography section in my TOC.

Please advise. Thank you.

Nobody told you to drop hyperref. Presumably you just need several more compiler runs to get all the references right.

Keep this option but drop the tocbibind package. Do not just load every package that comes your way. Read manuals first.

1. If i keep hyperref without option of dvipdfm, i cannot compile my tex file. This may be because i used the package omegavn for Vietnamese typesetting.

If i used

Code: Select all

\usepackage[dvipdfm,bookmarks=true]{hyperref}

then the citation mark becomes [?]

2. I dropped tocbibind but there is still bibliography section in the TOC. I tried

Code: Select all

\usepackage[notbib]{tocbibind}

but it still exits.

Thank you for your helps.

I tried and found that tocbibind conflicts with chapterbib. The package which you place first will disable the latter.

For example, if you put \usepackage[notbib]{tocbibind} then put \usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib} then the Bibliography will be defined as a chapter not a section.
