Problems trying to do multi-slide bibliography in powerdot

Post by kyp4 »

Hello, I am trying to break up my long list of references in my powerdot presentation onto multiple slides. I am using the bibentry package exactly as specified in the powerdot manual but I am getting latex compilation errors.

My .tex file looks like

Code: Select all

\documentclass[mode=present,paper=screen,display=slides,style=ciment]{powerdot}

% Package for eps
\usepackage{graphicx}

% Package so that I can split references to show on multiple slides
\usepackage{bibentry}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{slide}{References}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\nobibliography{references}
\bibentry{ref1}
\end{slide}

\end{document}
I am compiling latex, then bibtex, then latex again. On the second latex compilation I get an error:

Code: Select all

(./presentation.bbl

! LaTeX Error: Lonely \item--perhaps a missing list environment.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.3 \bibitem{ref1}
Does anyone know what the problem is here? My internet searches have yielded nothing.
