I am very new to LaTeX and the world of programming in general, and I am writing my M.A. thesis using LaTeX. The Chicago style is required for my thesis, so I got the biblatex-chicago
package. this is an outline of my document:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[style=chicago-authordate]{biblatex}
\bibliography{refs}
\begin{document}
--then the body of the paper with some citations and the \printbibliography command--
\end{document}
When I run it through BibTeX, I get the following errors:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2013)
The top-level auxiliary file: Bodhi Ch. 1.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file Bodhi Ch. 1.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file Bodhi Ch. 1.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Bodhi Ch. 1.aux
(There were 3 error messages)
Also, the bibliography and the citations don't come out, presumably because BibTeX was not able to process the file.
The name of my project is "Bodhi Ch. 1"
Anyone know what this is about?
biber
notbibtex
. To usebibtex
you have to specifybackend=bibtex
as one of the options ofbiblatex
. Also remember to include the extensionbib
for the bibliography file. – Guido Oct 4 '13 at 9:58.bib
extension for the bibliography file depends on the way you include it. If you include it using the\bibliography
command (as the questioner does) you must not use it. If you use the\addbibresource
command, you need it. – Benedikt Bauer Oct 4 '13 at 11:13.bib
is optional with\bibliography
. According to thebiblatex
manual\bibliography
is maintained for legacy document, but it is otherwise deprecated – Guido Oct 5 '13 at 2:52
