I'm totally new to TeX but I've gone more or less through the http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/ Wiki but I didn't find anything beside \quote and \quotation.

How can I quote inline with the quote index? for example

He said "Bla blah"$^{[14]}$

And how can I link this to a reference in the end?

Is there a tutorial or example for this? Or any other quotation system like the harvard referencing system would be also OK.

You can do it the usual way:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[square,sort&compress,super]{natbib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{mybib.bib}
  @article{shell2002use,
    title={{How to Use the IEEEtran \LaTeX{} Class}},
    author={Shell, Michael},
    journal={Journal of \LaTeX{} Class Files},
    volume={1},
    number={11},
    pages={10--20},
    year={2002}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}
  He said ``Bla blah''~\cite{shell2002use}
  \bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
  \bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}

Or using the powerful csquotes package. If you want links to be hyper links, add \usepackage{hyperref}:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[square,sort&compress,super]{natbib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{mybib.bib}
  @article{shell2002use,
    title={{How to Use the IEEEtran \LaTeX{} Class}},
    author={Shell, Michael},
    journal={Journal of \LaTeX{} Class Files},
    volume={1},
    number={11},
    pages={10--20},
    year={2002}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}

\begin{document}
  He said \enquote{Bla blah}~\cite{shell2002use}
  \bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
  \bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}

Compile the above codes with pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex → pdflatex sequence.

natbib is used mainly to get the citation numbers in super script notation.

  • Thanks for the effort writing this sample. It also works but one problem: The program tells me that the citations are undefined and therefore in the pdf the index is just a '?' and there also are no references in the end. Any idea whats wrong?

  • Note, csquotes has a dedicated command for this situation: textquote. It can be customized to support different quotation styles etc. See the documentation for details, especially §9.2 gives detailed instructions with examples on how to use and customize textquote.
