I'm trying to use bibentry to do inline full citations, along with a bibliography at the end. From everything I've read, the following should do the job:


\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\nobibliography*

\begin{document}

hi there

look at this: \bibentry{BrandomExplicit}

turtles

\cite{WeathersonScreen}

\bibliographystyle{agsm}
\bibliography{TestBib.bib}

\end{document}


But when I typeset, the inline entry doesn't appear. That is, I get nothing between "look at this:" and "turtles" in the output. The bibliography entry for BrandomExplicit appears in my bibliography at the end, and the WeathersonScreen citation appears just as it should, but I get no reference to Brandom in the text.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

the problem is that agsm.bst does not create a .bbl file in the
format bibentry requires. see '§. 4 Caveats' of the bibentry
manual and then compare the .bbl file your example document
produces.

if you can switch to biblatex, there are a lot more options when
it comes to 'printing out' full bibliographical information in
the middle of your document.

cheers,
jon.

Thanks jon. What I was really hoping for was a way to get inline bibliographical entries in my document in something like a "chicago" or "authoryear" format, without having to switch all the way to biblatex. It's looking like that's an increasingly hopeless prospect, though.

To be clear: I wanted to be able to get inline bibliographical entries, while having the *other*, normal citations in something like chicago format.

I believe the formats used by historians include an inline full
citation; they certainly include an almost-full footnoted citation.

I can't offhand remember what format it is that they use. I know it's
possible with the (now unsupported) jurabib package, because I used it
for that once (many years ago)...there is a \fullcite command, but it
lets you retrieve fields (\citefield) so you can construct an inline
citation format yourself. You will need to fight the default delimiters
(German legal citation uses a slash between authors, not a comma) but
the package is fairly well documented.
