Using multiple bibtex files

Posted in latex at 11:36 am by Clinton

Hacking away in latex again, and I had divided my bibtex files into two areas because I had read that you could do this and include multiple separate .bib files no problem. I read that:

\bibliography{bibfileone}
\bibliography{bibfiletwo}

would work - but it didn’t. Bit tricky to find the easy answer… which surprised me. (The “tricky to find” bit, not the answer… kinda obvious hack to try before I started googl’ing, but never mind.)

\bibliography{bibfileone,bibfiletwo}

On a related note, I had no idea how to get an “å” character (or an “a” with an “o” above it as I was thinking of it) happening in latex. I tried \oa but alas no.

Turns out you’ve got to ask the right question - I was searching for an “o” accented “a” character. Wikipedia helped me on that one - some nice info. It’s an “a” and an “a”…. so \aa does the trick. Obvious. Not. :)

(I love how someone added a wikipedia reference to the character in Stargate title. )
