BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ bibliography

[Joanna]

Hi,I started to write the 1st chapter of my thesis,I know latex good enough to write a paper but this program still surprises me,my problem is that references which I included are appearing and distempering while I am working with tex file without reasonable explanation,my document type is thesis,I write and edit single chapters while using \include{chapter} command called from main file;references are laced in main document by \bibliographystyle{thesis} and \bibliography{doc},any suggestions?Thanks,Joanna

First of all,please put spaces and periods in your sentences,otherwise it's hard to follow,plus it seems like you're frantic,and itmakesitmuchhardertoread.

Seriously, though. I don't know what you mean by, "references which I included are appearing and distempering"; do you mean your cross-references aren't showing up? Or do you mean the numbers change each time you run LaTeX? Or is it that the citations aren't working? I need an example of what's happening to you that doesn't make sense, otherwise I can't see how to fix it.

Also, the "thesis" class isn't standard, so you may have to either provide us with it or come up with an example that uses "article" or "report" instead that still does the same thing.

References are appearing and disappearing from div file after I compile it,thesis type is as used by Stanford University, PhD thesis.I can supply code,I work in WinEdit

I solved it,one needs to compile bib file after each change to it using tex editor,Joanna

That was going to be my first suggestion---the .aux file gets updated (and thus the .bib file gets updated) only AFTER LaTeX is run, so you always need to run LaTeX, then BibTeX, then LaTeX, then LaTeX again.

Glad you solved it!
