I have a main file and a references.bib
file I want to use.
The relevant code in my main file to my file is this:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
...
\section{References}
\cite{Heine-Borel}
\cite{L'Hospital}
\bibliography{myBibRefsFile}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
When I try compiling this, I get an error with the \bibliography
line, telling me it can only be used in preamble
. Based on the resources I've read, I don't think I'm using it wrong, so why am I getting this error?

You use commands for
bibtex
and.bst
files. The syntax for biblatex should be:The default backend with biblatex is
biber
. If you want to stick to bibtex, specify it as an option to biblatex:You also can choose
backend=bibtex8
orbackend=bibtexu
.
