problem with inserting bib

Post by mahmood »

Hi,
Here is my problem with bibliography: In "manuscript.tex", I wrote

Code: Select all

\Section{Introduction}
... \cite{ex1} ...
\bibliographystyle{manuscript}
\bibliography{manuscript}
I also have "manuscript.bib":

Code: Select all

@Article{ex1,
   author =   "author",
   title =   "name",
   journal =   "proc...",
   %month = "January",
   %number = "7",
   year =   "1996",
   %volume =   "99",
   pages =   "165-175",
}
...
But here is what I get:

Code: Select all

LaTeX Warning: Citation `ex1' on page 1 undefined on input line 41.
[1{c:/Program Files/texlive/2009/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]
[2]
No file latex8.bbl.
[3] (./latex8.aux)
LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.
and there is no reference in the pdf output. What is the problem?

If it is a project in TXC, you need to check the box for "Use BibTeX" in the project properties. (This is an answer solely based on my own experiences and stories from fellow students. :))

It does seem like you're only running LaTeX, and not BibTeX. Be sure to run LaTeX, then BibTeX and then LaTeX again (possibly twice more). If you need more specific instructions, or want to know how to automate this, we will need to know what editor you're using.
