Thanks for this, using your "\usepackage" above, but which do I use
for the bib database? I've tried both but I'm not sure which is
working.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\addbibresource{uh2014.bib}
\bibliography{uh2014}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is part of "uh2014.bib"
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@Article{MacRae2002,
author = {MacRae K. Pattison J.},
title = {Home chemotherapy.},
journaltitle = {Nursing Times},
year = {2002},
key = {MacRae2002},
volume = {98},
number = {35},
pages = {34-35},
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and in the text it is cited as
╭────
│\cite{MacRae2002}
╰────
but it shows in the pdf as "M. K. P. J. 2002."
How can I get it to show as"[MacRae2002]" please?
Thanks
Sharon.
