Problems with BibTex

Post by sigsiggi »

Hi,

I´m trying to use BibTex for the first time, and ran into some trouble..

I´m having the tex file testing.tex (attached file) and bibtex file references:
@book{burda,
author = "Burda",
title = "Makrookonomie",
year = "2010"
}

@article{blackholes,
author = "Bunny, R.",
title = "Black Holes and Their Relation to Hiding Eggs",
journal = "Theoretical Easter Physics",
publisher = "Eggs Ltd.",
year = "2010"
}




The PDF version is generated but without any of the references.. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a lot :)

Well, you have no citations in the file, for a start. You need something like

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\cite{burda}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
You then need to run:
  1. LaTeX
  2. BibTeX
  3. LaTeX
  4. LaTeX
to get everything correct.
