I'm new to LaTeX and I have problems trying to cite things in my document. I seem to have set up everything correctly but I still get a question mark symbol instead when I try to cite something. Here's my code (it is a pre-built template from school so sorry if it seems long!):

Here's the book that I want to cite:

@book{lafrance_physique._2015,
    address = {Montréal (Québec)},
    title = {Physique. 3, 3,},
    isbn = {978-2-7650-3726-2 978-2-8041-9082-8},
    language = {French},
    publisher = {Chenelière éducation},
    author = {Lafrance, René and Parent, Jean},
    year = {2015},
    note = {OCLC: 904283240}
}

When I cite it, I use:

\cite{lafrance_physique._2015}

When I check my finished document, I see a bold question mark instead of a 1... Thanks in advance for the help!!!

  • Usually you have to compile twice in order for the question mark to be replaced by the actual citation. Did you try that? – LarrySnyder610 Apr 17 '19 at 02:31
  • When do you say compile, what do you actually mean? I use TeX Maker and I do a quick run two times before looking at my document. Is this what you mean? Sorry I’m still new to this whole thing... – Charles-Antoine Drouin Apr 17 '19 at 10:06
  • Are you getting any error messages? I am not able to compile your code. If your code has other errors, then it may never get to the \bibliography command, hence it will never fill in the question marks. – LarrySnyder610 Apr 17 '19 at 11:13
  • I've changed the book name to manuel1 and I'm now able to run bibtex without any error messages but when I try to compile my work, I get those errors: ! Undefined control sequence .\b@manuel1 – Charles-Antoine Drouin Apr 17 '19 at 14:23
  • And without any bibliography, so if I remove the \bibliography{mybib} and the file mybib.bib, my project compiles without any issues. – Charles-Antoine Drouin Apr 17 '19 at 14:49
  • We are now outside of my area of expertise, so I'm not sure I can help with the error messages you are getting. But it seems to me that the "question mark" problem is actually a symptom of this error. – LarrySnyder610 Apr 17 '19 at 15:31
  • Thanks for taking the time to help me! Do you know a place I could find more help with this kind of issue? – Charles-Antoine Drouin Apr 17 '19 at 15:33
  • I think you are in the right place. :) But I suggest that you either edit your question, or post a new one, to highlight the error you are getting rather than the question-mark symptom. – LarrySnyder610 Apr 17 '19 at 15:34
