I'm having some trouble with TeXmacs and bibtex, for which I'm using Jabref. I need Harvard style referencing, and so I unmasked dev-bib/Harvard (or something like that) and all seemed well. However, I can't for the life of me get agsm.bst working under texmacs. It seems to find the correct .bib and agsm.bst etc etc, but texmacs won't show anything in the bibliography. It works fine with bib styles = plain or alpha etc.

I've been trying to get it working for a few hours now. I know its a little left field, but someone must have come up with the same problem. I hope so anyway.

*yawn* time for bed

Note to previous self.

Trying using Lyx. It seems more robust Texmacs, eventhough texmacs is pretty cool.

My school is very particular about using the rightreferencing format (VERY particular) so if anyone could help me get the harvard referencing style working under lyx it would be great.

True. My school is as well, and it took me a while to get it all right for my dissertation. So, roughly, step by step;

1 - Unmask the harvard bib style on the portage tree
2 - click Layout : Document style : Preamble
3 - Paste the following

\usepackage{harvard}

%%%%%%%%%% Start TeXmacs macros
\newcommand{\tmem}[1]{{\em #1\/}}
\newcommand{\tmop}[1]{\operatorname{#1}}
%%%%%%%%%% End TeXmacs macros

4 - Restart Lyx, and choose whatever style you need (agsm, jphysB etc etc).

None of the styles actually gave the right format, so I ended up using the netherlands style and changing every instance of the word en to and (so Einstein en Newton (1999) would become Einstein and Newton (1999).

After that, everything seemed to work fine enough.

Hope that helps
