I'm working with TeXnicCenter and I set a up a project file and created my output pdf file and bibliography using biblatex. Everything works well, the document looks the way it should…and now comes the but: I can't get the autocomplete for the \cite{} (any citation command actually) working. I don't even see the references in the reference tab (stable version TeXnicCenter) or in the Literature window (Alpha version). This is a bit annoying, since I have a huge list of references in my .bib file.
Does anyone know, how to fix that? Maybe a note, I have just recently switched to biblatex and before I started using it, I could see the references and the autocomplete function was working.
Here is a minimal example of my code:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{report}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-comp,%
natbib=true, % enable natbib macros
bibencoding=ascii,
url=false,
sorting=nyt,
uniquename=false,
firstinits=true, % use initials as first names
uniquelist=false,
dashed=false, % do not use a dash instead of author name in case of several publications
maxnames=99, % in the bibliography show all names
maxcitenames=2, % in the text use et al. for more than 2
backref=true, % have backrefs in the bibliography
backend=bibtex8,
refsegment=section]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{PhDall.bib}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[figure,table]{hypcap}
%-------Main-Document-Body---------
\begin{document}
\chapter{test}\label{testchapter}
lets see if this works: \parencite{albergel_evaluation_2012} and \parencite{maltese_event_2010}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
And the bibliography -which I get from zotero (coding Western – ISO8859-1) -looks like that:
@inproceedings{maltese_event_2010,
title = {Event detection of hydrological processes with passive L-band data from {SMOS}},
volume = {7824},
shorttitle = {Event detection of hydrological processes with passive L-band data from {SMOS}},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.865074},
doi = {10.1117/12.865074},
booktitle = {{SPIE}},
publisher = {{SPIE}},
author = {Maltese, Antonio and Al Bitar, Ahmad and Jacquette, Elsa and Kerr, Yann and Mialon, Arnaud and Cabot, Francoise and Quesney, Arnaud and Merlin, Olivier and Richaume, Phillipe},
year = {2010},
pages = {78240J}
},
@article{albergel_evaluation_2012,
title = {Evaluation of remotely sensed and modelled soil moisture products using global ground-based in situ observations},
volume = {118},
shorttitle = {Evaluation of remotely sensed and modelled soil moisture products using global ground-based in situ observations},
url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034425711004147},
doi = {10.1016/j.rse.2011.11.017},
journal = {Remote Sensing of Environment},
author = {Albergel, Clement and de Rosnay, Patricia and Gruhier, Claire and {Mu\~{n}oz-Sabater}, Joaquin and Hasenauer, Stefan and Isaksen, Lars and Kerr, Yann and Wagner, Wolfgang},
year = {2012},
pages = {215--226}
}
Any suggestions where I interfer with the autocomplete option??
Thanks
Best Answer
By adding these three lines
instead of just
TeXnicCenter believes you are using
and integrates it accordingly into the GUI and for autocomplete.
This solution has the beauty of working with both
biblatex
(+biber) and classic BibTeX and does not need any uncommenting before compiling.
