BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Missing Brackets in Bibliography

[syrious]

Hi there,

I'm writing my thesis and of course use bibliography.
Everything works fine. Only the bibliography's indices stand there without the braces: [ and ]

Still tried different bibliography styles (geralpha, ieeetr, alphadin, acm).so indices changed from numbers to abbreviated authors as it should be. But in every case there are no brackets.

I also compared the files to an project of mine where it works, but didn't find a thing. Because the project where the problem exists is a pretty complex template.

As i didn't find relevant sites googling around I would appreciate any hint.

You're example isn't really a minimal working example, is it? It is not even a working example, either (meaning I cannot just copy and compile it as it is). This makes it very hard (if not impossible) to help.

However, you seem to be using natbib. This looks like expected:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@Article{Booth1962,
  hyphenation  = {british},
  author       = {Booth, G. and Chatt, J.},
  title        = {The reactions of carbon monoxide and nitric 
    oxide with tertiary phosphine complexes of iron(II), 
    cobalt(II), and nickel(II)},
  journaltitle = {J.~Chem. Soc.},
  year         = {1962},
  pages        = {2099--2106},
  doi          = {10.1039/JR9620002099},
  annotation   = {An article which does not have a volume number}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[square,numbers]{natbib}
\begin{document}

\cite{Booth1962}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{test.bib}
\end{document}

Hi cgnieder,

thanks for the answer..
I just reduced my work to show the problem and provide a minimal compilable tex.
So I compiled ....and..it now works correctly.
I expect there is a problem in the content.

This happens in probably 4 out of 5 times when one tries to create a minimal example...

I suggest you reduce your code step by step and compile in between; this way you'll find the code causing the problem.
