I tried to look for a similar problem but could not find any. I hope that anybody with a bit more experience can get me a bit more insight in how I should be using biblatex with XeLaTeX? I think biblatex fully supports UTF-8...
I use the following code (is not a real MWE, since you don't have the bibliographies)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[bibstyle=numeric, citestyle=numeric-comp, sorting=none]{biblatex}
\bibliography{cluster}
\begin{document}
sometext sometextsometextsom
test \citep{Wu2004}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
I get the following error: Package csquotes Warning: Using preliminary 'polyglossia' interface.
(csquotes) Some of the multilingual features may not
(csquotes) work as expected.
and as a result of this, my citations keep staying undefined:
Latex warning Citation 'Wu2004' on page 1 undefined on input line 15
Based on the comments I made the following adaptions to my script to utilize biber which is UTF8 aware. However it is not fully working:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[bibstyle=numeric, citestyle=numeric-comp, sorting=none,backend=biber]{biblatex}%this style compresses the numbering
\bibliography{cluster}
\begin{document}
sometext sometextsometextsom
test \cite{Wu2004}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
In Texnic center (my editor) I made the following adaptions:
- changed so it uses biber instead of bibtex: path:
C:\additional Tex packages\biber\biber.exe
and I passed the following arguments to it:%pm
(main file's full path)
the following errors occur, it seems the bbl file is not created.. what am I doing wrong?
Package biblatex Info: Trying to load bibliographic data...
Package biblatex Info: ... file 'testA.bbl' not found.
No file testA.bbl.

option. Also, a warning is not the same as an error.
