I started doing LaTeX less than one week ago, so I am completely fresh to the game. To be quick: I am running Windows 8 (probably not relevant), my LaTeX sits on MikTeX 2.9 but I am using Winedt 9 as editor. I want to learn how to make a bibliography for my upcoming thesis. I am using the biblatex package, and I have also loaded the biber package.    In the preamble, I use the commands \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} and \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}, which is the "default" bibliography that came with the biblatex package (located in a directory under MikteX 2.9/bibtex/etx.) In the document, I use the command \cite{aristotle1968} and at before I end the document, I use \printbibliography.   I can LaTeX this with some warnings, but I doesn't BibTeX. It gives me the following error messages:  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)   What is wrong? I saw a guy who had the exact same problem here:   But the solution that worked for him, that is specifying the [backend=biber] in the preamble, does not work for me.   Please, help... I have already googled this for three full days and read tons of suggestions...

Running the minimal example  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib} @ARTICLE{example,   author  = {Other, Anthony Norman},   title   = {Some things I did},   year    = {2014},   journal = {J.~Irrep.

I have read  and know that I need to run:   LaTeX Biber LaTeX   However, my editor is only set up to run BibTeX. How do I go about setting up my editor/IDE to be able to run Biber, and how do I run the LaTeX/Biber/LaTeX cycle?  Answers (sorted alphabetically by editor name)                    Answer guidelines   Each answer should be for one editor. If the editor is cross-platform, if possible give a single answer with notes covering the minor platform variations. Please edit the question to include new answers in the 'link list' Each answer should be 'stand alone', i.e. don't say 'It's almost the same as editor Y but ...' for the editor part Instructions for 'build tools' such as arara or latexmk are welcome but should explain how to set up the editor in question as not all editors allow simple addition of arbitrary tools

As late as last week my setup for biblatex worked fine. Going back to the same project today not even a minimal file compiles:  \documentclass{article}   \usepackage{biblatex} %\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}   \begin{document}  test%foo\nocite{*}    %\printbibliography  \end{document}   but breaks off with   /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty:3776: LaTeX  Error: Missing \begin{document}.  See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type  H &lt;return&gt;  for immediate help.  ...                                                l.3776   australian,newzealand} ?  /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty:3776: Math f ormula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts. \expandafter -&gt;american|  l.3776   australian,newzealand}   And keeps repeating the last one until    (That makes 100 errors; please try again.)   when I ignore it.  Files without biblatex work as expected.  Using tlmgr to go my two backup versions of biblatex back in time to 1st Jan I still get the same errors.  Could this be another update from the last week or so that causes this?  If I swich back to TL 16 things work as expected. (For my work I need TL 17 because of packages.)

Here is my bibliography in latex. The types is "Inprooceedings".  I use WinEdt.    @INPROCEEDINGS{tem_1,   Author         = {Comelli, P, Ferragina, P, Granieri, M.N, and Stabile, F},   Title          = {Optical recognition of motor vehicle license plates},   Year           = {1995},   Volume         = {44},   Series         = {4),   Month          = {November},   Pages          = {790–799},   Publisher      = {Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions}    }   But i get this error.   How to solve it?

I know how to create a bibliography of the MLA style manually:  \begin{thebibliography}{9}   \bibitem{Poz}     Pozrikidis, C. \emph{Boundary Integral And Singularity Methods For Linearized Viscous Flow}. Cambridge [England] : Cambridge University Press, 1992. Print.  \end{thebibliography}   The link about BibTeX gives the following description:     If a document references this handbook, the bibliographic information may be formatted in different ways depending on which citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago etc.) is employed. The way LaTeX deals with this is by specifying \cite commands and the desired bibliography style in the LaTeX document.   It does not mention how can the bibliographic information be formatted in different style.  Question: How can I create the bibliography automatically with  with the same ? (Window Vista, MiKTeX, WinEdt 6.0)  [EDITED: ]Are there other ways to create the bibliography in MLA style in LaTeX?

First of all I would like to thank you because you helped me out a lot with all your answers to the already online questions.  Now, here is my problem. I am trying to do a bibliography file with TeXworks but I get this error when I try to compile (pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+bibTeX):      This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)     entering extended mode     ****PATH here******     !

Firstly, hello everyone. I am new here : )  I am writing my phd thesis using MikTeX + TeXnicCenter and everything goes well, until I have updated MikTeX today.  My Problem:  The program gives an error message to the "same old" command:  \printbibliography[prefixnumbers={},notkeyword={Eigene}, notkeyword={Datenblatt}, title={Fremdliteratur}, heading=subbibliography]   The error message looks like this:  Undefined control sequence. &lt;argument&gt; ...nameprefix {van~der}\isdot }\ifprefchar    Investigation  I have found out that this error comes from the name prefix "van der". If I write them together without space in *.bib file and compile it, it works again.  What's the best way to fix this or work around it? Is it a bug?

I want to learn to use biper and biblatex in Lyx. This is how I would do it in LaTeX traditionally with biblatex and biber  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,pdftex]{report} \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} \addbibresource{minCuts.bib} ... \printbibliography \end{document}   The error is apparently originating from the \bibliographystyle command and biblatex package getting mixed, by . But I have no \bibliographystyle command in Preamble so they should not be mixed unless Lyx is somehow importing the \bibliographystyle.   How to resolve the biblioraphystyle error in Lyx with Biber and Biblatex?

I updated my MiKTeX today. Now, I do not get any error without packages but it can not compile my latex files with packages.  Uninstalling and reinstalling both Texmaker and Miktex did not work.

When using the backend=biber option, I get a warning:     package Biblatex warning: Please (re)run  Biber on the file:   (biblatex) myproject   Result: References are not recognized.   Yes. A similar question does exist - but no solution is provided: .  - as a MWE.   backend=bibtex works like charm.  Question: What are the detailed steps to get backend=biber working? (When people say run that command or another there is a need of context.)  So my editor is .  And I have no clue how to run Biber on my file under TeXnicCenter... or any other environment.  Consider me as a simple mortal that really would like to get this solved, save forever and never come back again.   In TexnicCenter I don't have to do anything fancy with the MWE using backend=bibtex except creating a .bib file. Then I press Build current file - and get valid pdf with my references, which is a way it should be - simple and concise. If there is a tendency to recommand biber for utf-8 support, then we should get fast deployment so this will be adopted faster.  The problem inherently is the same as this one: .

When I use English language, it works. When I paste the exact document to Overleaf, it also works. So it's something on my part. How can I fix this?

Possible Duplicate:          I recently started using TeX to write journal articles. I use TeX Live version 2009-10 on a laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit). I edit and compile the tex files using vim and vim-latexsuite.   Currently for each journal article I have all associated tex, bib, eps, etc. files in individual folders. I would like to simplify my life a bit and have a dedicated folder containing a "master" bib file - And maybe another folder for my custom style files.

Which variables do I need to set? PATH? MANPATH? TEXINPUTS? BIBINPUTS?

I'm new to Latex so forgive me if the questions are dumb...  I was trying to right left-top corner superscript, someone recommended mathtools package on this forum: .  So I downloaded , unzip it, there's an "mathtools.dtx". In the package there are documents but none talked about how to install, I fancy the installation is just too primary to real Latex users.  OK, then, there's still another thread here explained the steps:  . So here I follow   I ran "tex XXX.dtx" (there's no *.ins files) on all the .dtx files under the extracted folder, that includes: breqn.dtx, flexisym.dtx, mathstyle.dtx, empheq.dtx, mathtools. Then I created a folder "C:\athos\localtexmf\mathtools" and put all the new files in.  Then I go to "Windows -> Start -> Programs -> MikTex 2.9 -> Maintenance (Admin) -> Settings (Admin) "; in "Roots" tab I added path "C:\athos\localtexmf"; in "General" tab I clicked "Refresh FNDB" and then clicked "OK" to close it. I restarted my WinEdt, added  "\usepackage{mathtools}" under "\documentclass..."; and added "test  $\prescript{14}{2}{\mathbf{C}}$ " in the main body.   After that when I try to "MikTex", the error still comes up: "The required file tex\latex\mh\mathtools\sty is missing. It is a part of the following pakage: mh . The package will be installed from ..."  Seems the folder "C:\athos\localtexmf\mathtools" is not captured by MikTex?  Then in the error message dialog, I choose "Change", choose "Package shall be installed from a directory", click "Next", choose ""C:\athos\localtexmf\" or "C:\athos\localtexmf\mathtools", in either try it says "Not a local package repository".  What shall I do?  I'm on Microsoft Windows XP Prefessional SP3, WinEdt 8 (Build: 20140613  (v. 8.2) - 32-bit), and MikTex 2.9.

I'm having a bit of trouble to use a custom style found on CTAN. This is the . In my MWE, it basically produces no output, especially not in the expected format. The default style works fine (commented line).  Goal &amp; requirements  MY target is to use Latex to automate the production of a set of documents. The processing needs to be semi-automated to produce a final PDF using some scripts in an other language. The end goals is then to (1) retrieve the separate code, (2) merge them and then (3) generate the full PDF using latex.   My constraint is that it needs to follow the Swiss Legal requirements in terms of citations. Consequently, the formatting of the quote is really tricky, and this is my final steps to produce a working prototype.  From some other questions here, I can deduce that . I've got basically no experience with the creation of custom style for biblatex. Moreover, I've got some further constraints, as my end document needs to be:   In french or german, hence using polyglossia &amp; csquotes Custom font, hence compiled using xelatex Using abbreviation (not here in MWE), hence using glossaries   Question 1 - Effort to update the full package ?  What would be the effort to update the package ? Is there any documentation on how to port an entire package into the “new” biblatex format ?  Question 2 - How could I only take the relevant part ?  Most of the code from this style will not be used. There are plenty of other function which I don't need.  Hence, how could I only take the “article” part and then plug it in a separate style ? I'm not sure what is needed and my first tryouts created a lot of errors.  Final note  This is my very first post on SO and TeX board. Hence please let me know if/how I could improve my future submissions. Thanks!
