BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Error when implementing bibtex

[arjaan93]

Dear all,

I implemented a bibliography in my first Latex report with the help of some Youtube videos but everytime I run it I get an error.The strange thing is that I can make PDF from my report fine and citing works as well. Still I want to get rid of the error messages.

Error message: 'Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.See' But there is nothing wrong with my itemize list. When I remove the itemize list in question the error is about another itemize list. The logfile is in the attachment.

This is all I implemented in order to get the bibliography right.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[rightcaption]{sidecap}%nodig voor verwijzingen
\usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}
\begin{document}


\section{References}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}% or plain \ IEEEtran \ unsrt
\renewcommand{\refname}{}
\bibliography{bib}
\end{document}

The bib file looks like this:

Code: Select all

5 Encoding: UTF-8

@Misc{helipad,
  howpublished = {http://nottinghamhospitalscharity.org.uk/appeals/emergency-care/}
}

@Misc{HSE,
  howpublished = {http://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/basics.htm}
}

@Misc{safetymanual,
   howpublished = {http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~pczsw/SAFETY/OrgManual13.pdf}
}

@Misc{safetywebsite,
  howpublished = {http://nottingham.ac.uk/~pczsw/SAFETY/index_files/Page497.htm}
}

Anyone any suggestions?

This cannot be reproduced, the example shows another error. The given logfile does not match the example given.

Please test your examples and provide us with the information we need.

Please ask your advisor for advice on online entries. You cannot cite stuff that way (LaTeX doesn't care at all, but academically you cannot).

Thanks for the reply. I am currently in the process of making it academically acceptable but wanted to get rid of the errors first. I changed my bib file now and made a shorter version of my report. The whole thing can be ran completely from the zip file I attached. The file in question is forum2.tex

The error that keeps coming up is: "missing \item in an itemize list" but there is nothing wrong with the list as you can see in the file.

I hope this is more useful

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\section{INFO}
\begin{flushleft}%voorkomt de indent van nieuwe paragraaf
\subsection{Chemistry}
Some text

\begin{itemize}
\item Theoretical and Computational Chemistry
\item Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy 
\item Chemical and Structural Biology 
\item Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis
\item Functional Materials and Nano-sciences 
\end{itemize}
\end{flushleft}%voorkomt de indent van nieuwe paragraaf
\end{document}

That has nothing to do with your bibliography. Use \raggedright instead of the flushleft environment.

Wow John,

This solved it! Thank you for the quick response!
