TeXworks ⇒ TeXworks, bibtex, and how to do it?

[skumar]

Solved. My bib file did not have .bib extension. Adding that solved the issue!

Hello, I happen to have the same problem you had in TexWorks, and my file does have the .bib extension. I have compiled the file adding the command lines:

Code: Select all

pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
bibtex latex_source_code.aux
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex

and the bibliography still doesn't appear. I'll add the code that I'm using in case anyone can help me.

Code: Select all

\documentclass [letterpaper, 12pt, oneside] {report}
\begin{document}

\chapter{Chaptertitle}

\section{Greetings}

\textsf{Hello}
  
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Bibliografía}

\end{document}

Code: Select all

pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
bibtex latex_source_code.aux
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex

Hi ichy_ban,

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

your code does note cite anything so naturally you'll get an empty bibliography. Add at least one \cite{<bib key>} to get the entry for <cite key> into the bibliography or add \nocite{*} to add every entry to the bibliography.

BTW: it is better not to ask new questions at the end of already solved threads but to open a new topic thread. One can always link to the other one for reference.

Hello, I appreciate that you answered since this is my first time in a forum and I'll follow your advice about opening a new forum in future occassions.

I tried inserting the commands that you suggested but the bibliography still doesn't appear. I think the problem is that when I write the commands:

pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
bibtex latex_source_code.aux
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
pdflatex latex_source_code.tex

Texworks doesn't recognize them, because it appears a "?" when it is running that line. I suppose that as this lines are not being run, the auxiliary archives are not being created and so nothing appears. I even tried writing:

latex latex_source_code.tex
bibtex latex_source_code.aux
latex latex_source_code.tex
latex latex_source_code.tex
dvi latex_source_code.dvi

But it still does not recognize the command. I'm not sure if I need a special package or something else, but I'll appreciate any counsel you could offer. Thanks for the help.

You should have \bibliography{XX} rather than \bibliography{XX.bib} in you LaTeX file. TeXworks (and other editors) work perfectly well for most people in running BibTeX, so we need to know a bit more about your set up to help.
