I'm using LaTeX and JabRef on Windows. I set up my bibliography database and cited references in my LaTeX document. However, I do not know how to use the command line on Windows to do the 'latex bibtex latex latex' compile. So my question is: How can I do the 'latex bibtex latex latex' compiling using Windows without the command line?

A lot of people write makefiles that say something like  paper.pdf: paper.tex         pdflatex paper         bibtex paper         pdflatex paper         pdflatex paper   To handle re-running TeX to get new/changed references and so forth. Is there a better way to do this?

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******     ! Undefined control sequence.     l.1 \documentclass         [a4paper,11pt]{report}   I've been reading some similar questions but I don't find the way to fix it (maybe I am missing something). I found one that says that I am trying to compile a LaTeX file using TeX compiler but I don't know how to change the configuration.  This is the .bib fiel content:      \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}     \usepackage[english]{babel}     % faire de l'anglais     \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}   % accents dans le source     \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}        % accents dans le DVI     \usepackage{url}     \begin{document}      @Article{ref11, author={Danihelka, Jiri and Kencl, Lukas}, journal={Cloud Futures Workshop 2012 }, title={Colaborative 3D Environments over Windows Azure}, year={2012}, month={May}, pages={}, note={}     }      @book{ref12, author = {Lee, Henry and Chuvyrov, Eugene},     title = {Beginning Windows Phone 7 Development},     publisher = {Apress},     volume = {},     number = {},     series = {},     address = {},     edition = {Second edition},     year = {2011},     month = {July},     note = {}     }      @Article{ref13, author={}, journal={}, title={Cloud computing}, year={}, month={}, pages={}, url={\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing}}     }      \end{document}

I get the following output (terminal output and blg log file) from running biber build/essay. It fails with error code 2 but doesn't give any error message... how helpful!

I am using a Mac with TeX Live and Mendeley for automatically generating .bib files, some of which have spaces in the file names. I would like to know how to reference such files from LaTeX as using "" or \ doesn't seem to work.

I am writing a document using LaTeX and generating PDF.  Can anybody tell me how I can generate the PDF metadata, e.g. author or title, from LaTeX?  On Windows XP, I am using MikTex's texify to generate the PDF.  On linux, I am using pdflatex to generate the PDF.  Any answers for either platform would be much appreciated!

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?

Hi I am trying to include references into my paper but it keeps showing the following when I compile. I am using texstudio. Message: I'm skipping whatever remains of this command The style file: plain.bst I found no database files---while reading file term paper.aux Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Astrov"  My code is like this:   \documentclass[letter,scriptaddress,twocolumn, prl,showkeys]{revtex4}  \usepackage{amssymb, amsmath, amstext, amscd, verbatim, mathtools, graphicx, float, caption, subcaption} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{natbib} \begin{document} This is my reference\cite[1]{Astrov}. \bibliography{term paper} \bibliographystyle{plain} \end{document}   They are all in the same directory. I am really panicing about this at the moment and apologize if similar questions have been asked before. Thanks in advance for your help!

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: .

I'm not really a programmer but I'm quite interested in learning how to use LaTeX/TeX. I've looked it up on Wikipedia and scanned through it and the documents created through this way of editing is just  beautiful. Formulas are also available within it too, so writing math thesis or physics papers would be amazing.   Is this system just for programmers, or can normal people use it too? (I'm mainly a designer, so I usually edit it in Word or InDesign.)

How do I create something like this without getting any errors?  \begin{thm}[\cite[page 10]{ABC2011}] ... \end{thm}   I tried putting various things into {...} brackets, but not eliminating any errors. I probably have misunderstood something about how LaTeX works in the background and the AMS packet:  \usepackage[amsmath,thmmarks]{ntheorem}

I am submitting an tex article to a journal, and they want they do not accept bib files. They also want only one source file:  1)A LaTeX submission should be a single .tex file; multiple-(.tex)-file submissions are not supported. 2)Uploading .bib files as Additional LaTeX file types is supported.  So this means I have to merge the bib and tex file into one, but I have no idea how to do this.  I looked at similar posts and people say use bbl. file and copy that into \bibliography... But I don't understand what this actually means.  Thanks!

I just started LaTeX, so I have a very vague idea how to operate it. I am now trying to make a bibliography. From what I understood, I need a .bib document, which I then will insert with \bibliography{}. My question is, how can I make a .bib file? I have an OpenOffice document that I'd like to use. Browsing a bit on the internet, there seems to exist a possibility to convert .bib files into other types, but I haven't found the right conversion. On bibtex.org the converter is disabled.  I have a feeling I'm doing something very wrong, can someone please help?

I am a LaTeX really entusiastic newbie. Thus I am writing all my reports and articles using this wonderful tool. Unfortunately the editors of scientific review do not all have the same entusiasm concerning LaTeX. I plan to submit my future paper in the ICES Journal of Science which (fortunately or not) has a kind of LaTeX template available online () and guidelines available here ().   My main problem is concerning bibliography. In all my writing I use biblatex with in the preamble:  \usepackage[style=authoryear, firstinits=true, uniquename=false, uniquelist=false, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=7, backend=biber]{biblatex}.   In the text I call citation using \autocite, \textcite, \citeauthor and \citeyear.   As requested by the journal I tried to convert my bibliography into a \bibitem list. I went to check the .bbl file as advised online but the structure seemed really complicated and nowhere \bibitem was mentionned. I found online some method that I managed to make work in my case by creating a dummy .tex file:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \nocite{*} sdryfj \bibliography{BIB.testbib.bib} \bibliographystyle{plain} \cite{NumR} \end{document}   I run some compilation and got a .bbl file with \bibitems list. I thought I was seeing the end of it and paste this list in thebibliography environment at the end of my document.   Unfortunately all my citations references (\autocite etc..) seems to not be compatible with this different way of bibliography input. In addition, all the references are printed cited or not....  I was wondering if there is a way to reach the same results directly from biber biblatex so I would not have to modify my document too much...  Thank you for your help,  Xochitl C.  PS: I also tried to redefine commands like this but it did not work:  \renewcommand{\autocite}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\citeauthor}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\citeyear}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\textcite}{\cite}

For my writing I am using MS Word and Zotero as bibliography manager. But now I think I am going to move to LaTeX on a  Linux box. I just toyed with Texmaker to generate my documents and it works fine so far. But I do not know how to manage my citations.  I found BibDesk and  with TexMate, but it's for Mac.   Are there any similar tools which I can use in Ubuntu ?
