I have a project with multiple files (in overleaf). I am using subfiles
because I want collaborators to be able to compile their subfile when working offline. But at the same time to be able to compile the whole project. We used a similar structure without subfiles
but using include
and chapterbib
. That compiled the whole project without problems, but it is not possible to compile each subfile individually.
My aim is to have a bibliography for each subfile (not a bibliography for the whole project).
The situation right now is that I can compile each subfile and its bibliography is generated for the citations used. However, when I try to compile the main project file something goes wrong, it seems that it tries to use the bibliography of the first subfile for the second.
The structure is as follows:
├── bibs # folder to save a bib file per subfile
│ ├── text1.bib
│ └── text2.bib
├── main.tex # main latex project file
├── misc
│ └── bibnosec.sty # a little patch
├── my-class.cls # my class
├── text1.tex # a subfile
└── text2.tex # another subfile
