Bibliography does not work anymore

Post by s140504 »

I fixed the comma.
Thank you.

Most of the issues are problems with new lines and new page.
I don't get it and Latex says "treated as zero"...

Thanks

I'm sure everything can be solved. Just post exact error messages and the piece of code that causes the error. You may also attach the .log file here. The "Attachments" link is below the text edit field, when writing a post.

They have some comments on spelling which I will go through - but it also mentions "please run biber".
I just don't get the run biber stuff:

I usually use \ref{} or \label{} and leave them open when I know I will have the reference/picture/label/equation later and I just need to write on at the moment.

Here is almost the full bibliography.
Some are in use others are not.
I saved them to keep the original formatting of the guide I used.

Please show us how you insert an image.

Please never use a double backslash to end a line or skip a line.

Never use a comma to list author names, do not include titles like Dr. In the bibliography. Please have a look at

Overleaf will run biber for you, i guess biber chokes on errors in your bib file.


You have a one sided document and instruct package fancyhdr to style twosided headers. That is pointless and the package informs you about it.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Indeed, since Overleaf and ShareLaTeX run on the Internet, you don't need the command line or a terminal. It is a Overleaf/ShareLaTeX setting. Here's a ShareLaTeX link, moved to Overleaf when they acquired ShareLaTeX: Bibliography management with bibtex

Anyway, you need to find the setting in Overleaf/ShareLaTeX. However, it may still be possible, that it's done automatically as it should. It may just be prevented by the other errors so it doesn't come to the bibtex run.

Yes, check the errors, one by one. Just tackle the first one and try again, then the next one. That's because several errors can be caused just by the first one, as a consequence.

Check Theory.tex, line 86. What is the code before that line? Can you show it? Never use \\ to end lines except in tabular, array, or multiline math environments.

In Frontpage.tex, what is your \includegraphics command? Please show that line. Options are like key=value. So the ,left cannot work.

Shall the document be oneside or twoside?

After you fixed the errors a above, let us know what changed, and tell us further upcoming errors or warnings.

I will look through the others again.
I can't seem to understand all the places it states an error.
E.g. when I use \newpage it states it is wrong

I keep looking through your comments and get back.
Thanks
