BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BibTeX shows no References

[Bornin1992]

Hello,

I am using the mla13 package and am not quite sure how to use BibTeX for this particular case.

A minimal example document.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mla13}

\title{Title}
\firstname{John}
\lastname{Smith}
\professor{Dr. John Doe}
\sources{Sources.bib}

\begin{document}
\makeheader
Insert text.
\makeworkscited
\end{document}

The .bib file is as follows:

Code: Select all

@article{ahu61,
  author={Arrow, Kenneth J. and Leonid Hurwicz and Hirofumi Uzawa},
  title={Constraint qualifications in maximization problems},
  journal={Naval Research Logistics Quarterly},
  volume={8},
  year=1961,
  pages={175-191}
}

When I compile, it shows a Works Cited page, but does not include any sources.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you run BibTeX? Such as bibtex filename at the command prompt, or via the editor?

Hi,

I am having the same issue here. A Works Cited page is created, but is empty. Moreover, inline citations are shown as BibTeX keys instead of the correct (Surname) format. Here's my source code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mla13}
\title{The Title of My Paper}
\firstname{My name}
\lastname{My surname}
\professor{My professor's name}
\class{My interesting class}
\sources{test.bib}
\raggedright
\begin{document}
\makeheader
% Citations
% \cite[Page]{Name of source}
Body here. \cite{surname2012doc}
\makeworkscited
\end{document}

The test bibTeX file.

Code: Select all

@misc{surname2012doc,
  title = {doc happy happy joy joy},
  author = {Surname, Name},
  month = sep,
  year = {2012}
}

Trying to run BibTeX on the file "test.bib" returns this.

Code: Select all

$ bibtex test
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012/Arch Linux)
The top-level auxiliary file: test.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file test.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file test.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file test.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

In attachment, please find "mla13.sty".

Kind regards and thank you for any help,

Alessandro.

Looking at the output and trying it myself, it looks like biblatex-mla doesn't support @misc entries. When I changed the type of the BibTeX entry from @misc to @article it worked fine. Maybe there is another type that you could use to get it working.
