Document Classes ⇒ res.cls and bibtex

[zlya]

Hello,

I'm writing a resume using res.cls. I'd really like to use bibtex to insert and format my publications section. I've tried:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[line, margin]{res}
\begin{document}
\begin{resume}
%Other resume stuff
\section{PUBLICATIONS}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{apa}
\bibliography{publications}
\end{resume}

Which gives no errors but also gives no list of publications, or anything at all. When I try replacing \nocite{*} with the specific name of a publication it gives:

Citation `publication' undefined on input line 90. (As well as no change in the output)

Is this just impossible? Should I give up and type them in by hand?

Thanks

You have to run BibTeX once and afterwards at least two times latex again.

Code: Select all

latex resume.tex
bibtex resume.tex
latex resume.tex
latex resume.tex

Unfortunately, Thorsten's suggestion does not help here (at least jn my case). When I run LaTeX on a document of class "res", no *.aux file is created. Hence, BibTeX cannot produce the *.bbl file.

Hi,

Unfortunately, Thorsten's suggestion does not help here (at least jn my case). When I run LaTeX on a document of class "res", no *.aux file is created. Hence, BibTeX cannot produce the *.bbl file.

This is because res.cls includes the command

Code: Select all

\nofiles	     % resume's don't need .aux files

simply comment out this line and now you will have the .aux file after compilation.

Thanks for this brilliant hint!

it is true that by commenting out the line

\nofiles

in res.cls, you will be able to then latex the file and then have bibtex parse
the aux file, the bib file and then create the bbl file. However, nothing will
appear in your reference list (since you aren't citing any of the keys).

The following is one possible kludge:

1. latex myres.tex
2. edit file myres.aux and manually insert citations to all your references
3. bibtex myres.tex
4. latex myres.tex

This is a partial fix--except now one needs to figure out how to force the order
in the listing to correspond to the order we specify in step 2 above--(chronological or reverse chronological as opposed to alphabetical)
