BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography with XeLaTeX

[richard1017]

XeLaTeX can't create a bibliography during compilation.

As for the following code, it can't be compiled by XeLaTeX. If I use PDFTeXify, everything went smoothly and the references section is created (I'm using MiKTeX and WinEdt). My file contains Chinese characters and I'm using the packages fontspec, xunicode and xltxtra and have to compile it with XeLaTeX.

How can I get the references with XeLaTeX?

Here's an example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
A test for bibliography with Xe\LaTeX.\cite{Aspnes:1973}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{ref}
\end{document}

And the corresponding BibTeX database.

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{Aspnes:1973,
  author = {D.E. Aspnes},
  title = {Third-derivative modulation spectroscopy with low-field electroreflectance},
  journal = {Surface Science},
  year = {1973},
  volume = {37},
  pages = {418 - 442},
  number = {0},
  markedentry = {[Richard:1]},
  doi = {10.1016/0039-6028(73)90337-3},
  file = {:D\:\\Dropbox\\Lab\\Papers\\Aspnes.D.1973.pdf:PDF},
  issn = {0039-6028},
  url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0039602873903373}
}

@BOOK{Aspnes:1980,
  title = {Handbook on semiconductors},
  publisher = {North-Holland, New York},
  year = {1980},
  editor = {T. S. Moss},
  author = {D. E. Aspnes},
  owner = {Richard},
  timestamp = {2012.08.16}
}

Thank you very much!

XeLaTeX can't create a bibliography during compilation. […]

That's true, but neither can PDFLaTeX. PDFTeXify is a special tool provided by WinEdt. Perhaps you can configure WinEdt with a similar tool "XeTeXify" (but I can't tell you how).

[…] How can I get the references with XeLaTeX?[…]

You simply have to run BibTeX in between and then XeLaTeX at least twice. That's exactly what PDFTeXify does automatically in the background. WinEdt should offer a corresponding button in its toolbar.

You may take a look at LaTeXMK. It is a tool for general use which does all the steps as long as needed to get the complete document. Its manual has all necessary information.

Thank you, Thorsten!

I did this.

Code: Select all

xelatex test
bibtex test
xelatex test
xelatex test

And the reference was there!
