here is minimal example of my problem:
\documentclass[14pt,aspectratio=169,German,handout]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{\usetheme{Madrid}}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}
This compiles on overleaf fine, but on my Windows Workstation with TeXMaker, I get the following error:
Missing numer, treated as zero \l#German \ldf#fginish \CurrentOption
It compiles only if I remove the \usepackage{babel} line.
What can I do?
thx
The log file says: (removed because its too large)
My solution is:
\documentclass[14pt,aspectratio=169,handout]{beamer}

I am wanting to do in text citations for my dissertation. I will upload a simplified version of what i am seeing. The issue is that i keep getting "undefined citations" where i only get the citation key out in my pdf irrespective of which compiler i use.
I also keep getting an error saying that the bibliography is empty. But when my friend uses the exact code i have and copies the references and everything into his overleaf environment it works. I could not get it working with miktex and texmaker. Please help
I have checked a lot of articles of what is available and i swear im following what they are doing but i cant get any further
Initially, my idea is to pull the citations from another file because ill be using these citations in multiple documents. I have successfully setup the .bib file which will update as i add more references to Zotero (my reference manager). I tried to pull citations from the .bib file by coding in the file directory, but no luck there.
I then tried to not use the "file directory approach" and just have a references file in the same folder as the .tex file. But that didnt work either.
my code is as follows:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{refs.bib} %%updated from References.bib

EDIT:
Upon trying to do what #celdor initially said said i still run into the same issue. The following screenshots add to the initial question.

From the Log file, the following logs detail relevant warnings

Extra information:
The following screenshots are of the Project folder
First, latexsym is an old package superseded by amssymb. I looked at the file and its last update was in 1998!
As to your issues, assuming your text file is main.tex, try the following:
Clean your project folder from all auxiliary *.aux; the best way to do that is to issue latexmk -C in your project folder.
Additionally, remove main.bbl
make sure your *.bib file is in the root project folder
add backend=biber to list of options of biblatex.
Then, run:
pdflatex main.tex # or xelatex main.tex or lualatex main.tex etc.
biber main
pdflatex main.tex # see above
Without *.bbl file, the first run of pdflatex does not produce any reference list and latex may issue a warning. With an old *.bbl file, you will get wrong citations. After the whole sequence is executed, main.pdf should have the correct citation and a reference list.
Remember \bibliography is incompatible with biblatex. The correct macro to create bibliography list is \printbibliography. It will issue \section* in article or \chapter* in report/book for a title and format it according to settings in a document class.
Here, I created References.bib with a dummy article:
#ARTICLE{schmidtPreprocessingMethodologyEnhance2019,
author = {Other, Anthony Norman},
title = {Some things I did},
year = {2014},
journal = {J.~Irrep. Res.},
volume = {1},
number = {1},
pages = {1-10}
}
and run the code as suggested, and frankly I get expected results without any errors!
The full code:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb} %superseds latexsym
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{References.bib}

and here's the screenshot:
The answer as suggested by #samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz
is that I was not using biber.
To do this on textmaker proceed to Options/Configure Textmaker. A configuration window will appear. Under the Commands Window locate "Bib(la)tex" and set the designation to "biber %". This will solve the issue.
Setting Update
A similar procedure can be followed on texstudios
See the below link on how to make sure textmaker uses this setting for reference.

thank you for everyones efforts in solving this problem.
I am using $\pi(x|D)=\exp(-\mathcal{U}(x))$ this expression in overleaf, but I got the error "missing $". The problem is using the symbol "|", when I delete this character it works perfectly. How can I solve this problem?
So, just did a quick check in my local MiKTeX installation. The line does indeed compile just fine. You may have some missing packages, or an error elsewhere in your document. Minimal working example:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
$\pi(x|D)=\exp(-\mathcal{U}(x))$
\end{document}
Code with Vcard informations in it. How can i use sepcial german characters like ä,ü, and so on. My file is saved under utf-8 encoding. This minimal example gives error.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage[]{qrcode}
\begin{document}
\qrcode{
BEGIN:VCARD\?
VERSION:4.0\?
N:Do;Jon;;Dr.\?
FN:Dr. Jon Do\?
ORG:Firma; Überirdische Firma\?
END:VCARD
}
\end{document}
I could solve the problem. But i do not know why it works..
Adding this line VERSION:3.0\? fixed the problem.
I'm trying to set a image (Canadian flag) as a command in my latex résumé project. I am a beginner in latex and I'm trying to replicate another command definition based on fontawesome package (pre-define images), but by integrating an image.
Here's the original command that works (faAt comes from fontawesome package):
\newcommand{\emailsymbol}{\faAt}
\newcommand{\email}[1]{\printinfo{\emailsymbol}{#1}}
Here's my try that doesn't work:
\newcommand{\canflag}{\def\#canada.png}
\newcommand{\canadaflag}[1]{\printinfo{\canflag}{#1}}
Any idea on how to achieve what I'm trying to do?
You can graphicx package to achieve this
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand\canadaflag{\includegraphics[height=8pt]{flag}}
\begin{document}
\section{Before you start}
\canadaflag You are now using...
\end{document}
I'm using ubuntu16, i've intalled latex full version and texmaker. Im writing a document and when compiling the bibliography i get this message:
!LaTeX Error: File `bibtex.sty' not found.
What can i do? S.O.S its driving me crazy
\documentclass[12pto,a4paper,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}
\usepackage{bibtex}
\addbibresource{/chapters/reference.bib}
\begin{document}
blablablablablablablablablablablablab \parencite{author-bibliography}
\begin{appendix}
\end{appendix}
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Please fix the 1st line that should say 12pt
Be sure that bibtex is installed. On my computer tex live tools does the work.
I downloaded the .rar from your university.
Be sure that you have these packages installed:
lastpage
chngcntr
babelbib
I did open exemplo-diss.tex and then I run latex+bibtex+latex and it works.
