I am having trouble getting bibtex to cite properly.
I am fairly new to LaTeX so please forgive me for any ignorance.
I am using Texmaker to utilise LaTeX.
Here is my code:
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}
\begin{document}
hello \cite{AAA}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Bibliography code
@book{AAA,
title = {apples and oranges},
author = {Fruit Shop},
year = {2000},
publisher={fruit}
Interestingly, the $\addbibresource$ is marked in bold blue font? Why is this?
The output is
I have tried running the document in the sequence:
quickbuild
BibTeX
quickbuild
quickbuild
But this does not seem to help.
Please help!
}missing in the code of your .bib file. The rendering of\addbibresourcein bold and blue is the standard highlighting syntax of texmaker. Does texmaker give any errors? What does your .blg file say? – Jasper Habicht Feb 14 '18 at 21:44biber, notbibtex. If you absolutely want the latter (not recommended: you will loose some functionalities), add the option[backend=bibtex]. – Bernard Feb 14 '18 at 21:52biblatex's default is thebiberbackend, so you should runlatex->biber->latex. This question may help you set up your TeXmaker to do so: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/105447. – gusbrs Feb 14 '18 at 22:23biblatex, you should be running Biber, but the explanations are roughly the same. You can find out how to make your editor run Biber in Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations. – moewe Feb 15 '18 at 06:19
