Only one citation is undefined

Post by postroutine »

Hello,

I got a problem with citation on my LaTeX document.
I use BibLatex and have a bib file with multiples references.

When I cite a reference from the bib file, all work except 1.

Here is the reference:

Code: Select all

@online{ hog:dochome,
author  = "By N. Aranzabal, N. Biesuz, D. Cieri, F. Gonnella, N. Giangiacomi, G. Loustau De Linares, A. Peck",
title   = "Hog HDL on git",
year    = "2025",
url     = "https://hog.readthedocs.io/en/2025.1/",
editor  = "The University of Birmingham",
urldate = "25.03.2025"
}
Here is how I cite it on my LaTeX file:

Code: Select all

\autocite{hog:dochome}
When I generate the PDF, here is the error I get:

Code: Select all

LaTeX Warning: Citation 'hog:dochome' on page 3 undefined on input line 157.
And in the PDF, here is what I get:

Code: Select all

(hog:dochome)
All other citations work, only the ones to this reference fail.
I searched on the web, but found no solution.

Do you have any idea ?

Please make sure that you structure a name list in the recommended manner so that biber can process it.

That was it.

The author names was not correct. Here is the correct author field that work for me:

Code: Select all

author  = {N. Aranzabal \& N. Biesuz \& D. Cieri \& F. Gonnella \& N. Giangiacomi \& G. Loustau De Linares \& A. Peck},
Thank you very much.

Sorry if my source misled you into a seemingly obvious solution, but the names in a list should be separated by the and delimiter.

Also, read the biblatex package's manual for details on how to assign values ​​to date fields.

Is the \& not a good way ?
