BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Getting rid of dashes in References

[atwinix]

Hello All,

I have often had a problem when citing the same author in a document. For example for when two different works by the same author, the name of the author in the second reference will appear as dashes ( ----- ).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}

\title{Advanced Referencing}
\author{Example One}{exone@swin.edu.au}{}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

\IEEEPARstart{T}{his} is an example. \bstctlcite{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol} \cite{Goldratt.1994}  Citing the same author. \cite{Goldratt.1997}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{ieeebibctl}
\end{document}

I have tried to use the IEEEtrantools.sty file but I can an error telling me that

Code: Select all

! Package IEEEtrantools Error: IEEEtrantools is not for use with the
(IEEEtrantools)                IEEEtran class.

Is there any way I can get rid of the dashes and display the author name instead? I have attached the pdf file for anyone wanting to see the output.

Thanks,
atwinix

The file you would need to edit is the bibliography style file IEEEtran.bst -- or perhaps just pick a different bibliographic style altogether. (I'm afraid I don't know what the required edits would be offhand.) What's wrong with the line of dashes? That's a fairly common bibliographical convention.
