Environment thebibliography not defined

Post by Hindemith »

Hi!

I use Xp and the current Miktex 2.7. As editor i use TexnicCenter.

Here is a minimal example of my Tex File:

\documentclass[addressstd,a4paper,10pt]{dinbrief}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}
\subject{\bf A short introduction}
\opening{}

\textbf{Example}\\
\\
This is an example text wit a citation \cite{Schwartz1980}.
\end{letter}
\bibliography{Histon}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}


well.. if i compile this i get the latex error:
Environment thebibliography is not defined.


Any idea?

Hi,

this thebibliography environment is defined by classes, the dinbrief class does not define it. You could use a different class or an additional package or copy the environment code from a class like article. dinbrief just doesn't support it.
