General ⇒ Problem with reference in Latex.

[aaron792]

Hello everyone!
I just downloaded a Latex template. It has two files named Example.tex and example.bib which is used to generate references in Example.tex. After I replaced the content of Example.tex and example.bib with my own text and bibliography. The generated pdf file just doesn't display the references though I have cited them in the text. The generated BBL file is always 0kb. The template has its own settings stored in 3 .sty files. But I can't find where it uses example.bib as the bibliography file.
Why?
Thanks!

I checked that file again.
The example.bib is sth like:

Code: Select all

@INPROCEEDINGS{Moore99,
  AUTHOR =       "R. Moore and J. Lopes",
  TITLE =        "Paper templates",
  BOOKTITLE =    "TEMPLATE'06, 1st International Conference on Template Production",
  YEAR =         "1999",
  publisher =    "INSTICC Press",
  file = F
}

MikTeX converts it to Example.bbl successfully.

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{}

\bibitem[Moore and Lopes, 1999]{Moore99}
Moore, R. and Lopes, J. (1999).
\newblock Paper templates.
\newblock In {\em TEMPLATE'06, 1st International Conference on Template
  Production}. INSTICC Press.

\end{thebibliography}

However it's the Example.aux file refused to match them.

Code: Select all

\citation{Smith98}
\citation{Moore99}

Quite strange~

The problem is almost solved. Seems nothing goes wrong with my text. It is the MikTeX's own unstable behaviour messes things up.
If u fail to get a satisfiing pdf file and also fail to find any problem. Try to close all applications and then restart them. Then everything may get fine.
Hope my experience can help.
Thanks for any viewer~
