BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ natbib and subfiles packages

[nich]

Anyone know how I can get these two to work together.

Obviously I only want one reference list in my final document so I cant include an instruction to crease a bibliography in every subfile. But when I do not include the commands to crease a bibliography in each subfile I cant get the in text citations to show when I compile individual subfiles.

Thanks

I don't have a lot of experience with the subfiles package, but one option that occurs to me would be to go ahead and include the bibliography in each subdocument, but use the comment package to suppress its output:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

\usepackage{comment}
\excludecomment{thebibliography}

Packages cannot be declared in subfiles. My current solution is to add

Code: Select all

%\bibliographystyle{plain}
%\bibliography{../References}

at the end of each subfile and to uncomment them when I'm compiling the individual subfiles.

Note that I use "../References" instead of "References" because my References.bib file is located in the parent directory.

Here via google, just worked out the answer to this one. Define something like \biblio to produce a bibliography in the individual files, but undefine it in the body of your main file.

In your main file:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfiles}
...
\def\biblio{\bibliographystyle{plainnat}\bibliography{bibliography}}
\begin{document}
\def\biblio{}
...
\subfile{chapter_1}
\subfile{chapter_2}
...
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\end{document}

Awesome, it works perfectly, thank you!

Hi Alex,

welcome to the forum!

It's great to read, that it worked for you. Just to mention that, perhaps the challenge could be tackled with the modern biblatex package too.
