I have a main latex source and its bibtex file: ./main.tex
and ./main.bib
In main.tex
the bibliography is included as \bibliography{main}
, then the pdf is correctly produced with all the needed references at the end.
Then I have a subdirectory and the appendix latex file: ./add/appendix.tex
, which is a standalone latex source. In this document I would like to share (some of) the ../main.bib
references, but keeping the main document numbering. Besides, a bibliographic section is only required in the main.
Including \bibliography{../main.bib}
and running $ bibtex appendix
gets the wrong numbering actually, restarting from one.
My problem is actually a bit different of what described here: Multiple LaTeX files using the same bibliography
or here:
Two Bibliographies: one for main text and one for appendix
but still I did not find the solution.

I have find a possible solution, inspired from here: Use bibliography numbers and citation from other file
So using the package
xc
inappendix.tex
, like:and then citing using same labels as in
main.tex
, the numbering is actually the same and no bibliography appears inappendix.tex
. So to citeXX
frommain.tex
inappendix.tex
one should do:that works nicely.
