Hi Stefano,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Following your advice, i am starting to use
biblatex. To get used of it, I am making a simple test on a single document
with
one bibliography.
I entered the preamble in Lyx, put my bibliography in a Lyx note and inserted
some citations via the Lyx tool "insert citation".
However when i try to preview, my references are not recognized (they appear as
a bold number, and nothing appears after \printbibliography ERT).
My .bib file is in the same folder than my .lyx file, but as i understand lyx
cannot find it. I replaced the relative path of my file in the preamble by the
absolut path but it has no effect. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks again a lot for your help
PS: here is my preamble:
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}
\bibliography{Publi1}
or
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}
\bibliography{C:/Documents and Settings/Julien/Bureau/Test biblio/Publi1.bib}
I also tried to put my file in an absolute path with no spaces but i have same
result...
