BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Reference Numbers get Reset

[faizlo]

Hi

This is my first post here and I hope I am posting it in the right place.

I am writing my thesis now, and I am using BibTeX to format my bibliography. My problem is this: If I include a reference in any of my figure caption, the reference counter gets back to [1] although the reference just before the one I used in my figure caption is mentioned correctly [49], say.

Why does reference counter starts over again when I include a reference in my figures?

To solve this issue, I noticed that if I remove .bbl, .aux, .lot, .lof, ... I get the reference numbers correctly after I re-latex my document. But if I re-latex it again, it get back to the error case of reporting the last reference with [1] again?

Any help?

Probably you have some cross-references in the captions of the figures. Check if those cross-references also appear in the LoF. If so, use the optional argument for \caption to get rid of the references in the LoF.

Code: Select all

\caption[LoF entry]{Full caption with \cite{key}}

Think about doing some basic reading.
