Target latex does not include bibliography about multimarkdown-4

[fletcher]

It's hard to tell from your brief description, but it appears you are confusing BibTeX and the MMD "built-in" citation support.

BibTeX is used when outputting to LaTeX -- it won't work for HTML.

The built-in support is useful for HTML and other formats, but does not give as good a result as LaTeX.

If you give more information, I can help you figure out what you're doing wrong.

I'm currently writing on my diploma thesis and my professor asked me to try, if it's possible to do that with multimarkdown. For that, i need citation support.

I tried to add a citation like it's explained in your example:

This is a statement that should be attributed to
its source[p. 23][#Doe:2006].

And following is the description of the reference to be
used in the bibliography.

[#Doe:2006]: John Doe. *Some Big Fancy Book*.  Vanity Press, 2006.

When converting to latex, the text with the citation annotation will be created, but not the citation details (as you can see in my first post... that's the conversion result of the example code).

[fletcher]

That example works just fine. Did you make a complete document, or just a snippet? For a bibliography, you need a complete document.

\def\mytitle{sample}

This is a statement that should be attributed to
its source~\citep[p. 23]{Doe:2006}.

And following is the description of the reference to be
used in the bibliography.

\begin{thebibliography}{0}

\bibitem{Doe:2006}
John Doe. \emph{Some Big Fancy Book}. Vanity Press, 2006.

\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

Oh, ok, indeed, i use only snippets, because the whole thesis in one file is too big, so i have to split it into seperate files. Any idea how to get the bibliography for snippets?

[fletcher]

You would then end up with a separate bibliography for each file. I assume this is not what you want, and it probably wouldn't work in LaTeX anyway (but I have not tested it).

You want to combine all of your files before passing through MMD in order to generate one, cohesive LaTeX file. Can use mmd_merge if you want the MMD source split amongst separate files (e.g. chapters) while working, but combined when processing.

[MatthiasLohr]

Thank you! I created a Makefile doing the work with concatenating and converting my mmd files to a final pdf document. Citation is working now, after i used a complete build.

Is there any possibility to change the citation mark, e. g. use custom labels instead of [1], [2], ...?

[fletcher]

If you use BibTeX, you can use just about anything you want. Outside of the scope of MMD, but it's much more powerful.
