Hi again,
After some tests i finally succeeded to insert the bibliography via biblatex.
Actually, there was two problems:
- All files have to be put in a folder with no space: i changed the previous
one
to C:/Test/Publi1
- The absolut path have to be written like this: \bibliography{C:/Test/Publi1}
(without the .bib)
Then everything is working fine.
Strong of this success i tried to use biblatex with my thesis files, which are
several chapters included in a main document lyx. When i visualize each chapter
separately, it is working fine.
To do the multiple bibliography in each chapter from this master file, i had a
look on the wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib
>From here i have several questions:
- To build bibtexall.exe, i used this
way:http://logix4u.net/component/content/article/27-tutorials/44-how-to-create-
windows-executable-exe-from-python-script with the code given on the wiki page.
Is it correct to proceed like this? Or do i just need to put the code in a .txt
file and then to rename it?
I supposed that first method was the good one, and i put this file in what
seems
to be the "path" mentioned on the wiki, namely C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.9\miktex\bin (i am with windows XP, MikteX distribution). Is it correct to
put
the bibtexall.exe file here?
- On my main document i use the following preamble:
\usepackage[style=nature,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{C:/Test/Publi1,C:/Test/Publi2}
but references are not appearing.
If i change to:
\usepackage[style=nature,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{Publi1,Publi2}
then the bibliography of the first chapter works well, but there is no in the
second. It seems strange to have to use an absolute path for single document,
and a relative path for a multiple?? And why in the multiple only the
bibliography of the first chapter works well? Could it be a problem with
bibtexall?
I am sorry to ask questions that are probably stupid but i am totally lost.
Many thanks
Julien
