I would create a new build profile, say LaTeX > PDF (Biber)
, which is a copy of LaTeX > PDF
(the one set up by default in TeXnicCenter):
Now add biber
as the BibTeX compiler:
In the above "Command line arguments to pass to BibTeX", %tm
refers to the file "Title (without extension)". You can also add other arguments to want to pass to biber
here (like the file encoding, for example). For all options, see the biber
documentation.
Now you can compile (no output) your document once under the LaTeX > PDF (Biber)
profile and a second time under the LaTeX > PDF
profile. In sequence, this performs a pdflatex
> biber
> pdflatex
compilation. If you wish to do this in one click, you can add the following to the LaTeX > PDF (Biber)
profile's Postprocessor tab:
The pdflatex
process arguments are copied from the main profile page.
Running the following MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}% http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}% http://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex
\begin{filecontents*}{references.bib}
@article{mybibkey,
author = {A. Author},
title = {Some amazing work of art},
journal = {A fur realz journal},
volume = {17},
number = {3},
year = {2013},
pages = {1--99}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\begin{document}
See~\cite{mybibkey}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
under LaTeX > PDF (Biber)
with the added Postprocessor pdflatex
component yields the one-click output
I would suggest keeping separate output profiles, since you only need to compile with biber
once you have a change of bibliographic items, so you don't need to do it with every compile.
The screen output one gets from running Biber is almost always the same; the difference in whether one uses no option, --debug
or even --trace
is found in the .blg
file.
For a --tool
run on a stand-alone .bib
file, you will find the information in <file name>.blg
, so
biber --tool --debug lorem.bib
gives a lorem.bib.blg
with all the log output you want.
Best Answer
There can only be one ISBN in the
isbn
field.In
it looks awfully like you have two ISBNs in the
isbn
field as inThrow away one of the two ISBNs and Biber will stop complaining
The same holds for the
url
anddoi
field. Here Biber will not complain, but the output will be mangled, especially whenhyperref
is loaded.
