Post by anglea »

Hi all

I have used the following lines to include the bibliography
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

and before the end of the documents

\bibliography{Refreport}
I runned by "Latex, bibtex, latex, latex and my .bib file is in the
same place asmy .tex file, what is could go wrong, even I tried deleting or moving any file called
myfile.*, apart from .tex and .bib, and then re-compiling.....
I've got this error message,

./report.bbl:3: Empty `thebibliography' environment on input line 3.

also I tried the following
\usepackage{cite}
\bibliography{report}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

but still got the same error message

looking to hearing from you

I wonder why you delete all the auxiliary files. They are not unimportant and you should keep them.


Best regards and welcome to the board

All I wanted to say is that you must not delete the auxiliary files to get your bibliography right. If you can't manage to get it working, build a minimal working example (MWE) and attach all files packed into an archive to your next post.
