LaTeX: bibliography in the source file
If you have created a literature file, you must include it then:
- With a "\bibliography style{alphadin}" you can specify directly under the beginning of the document, the type of the citation - in this case, the so-called Harvard method.
- The command "\citep[see][]{modOpSys}" then ensures the correct referencing of the work.
- The actual Literature directory allows you to easily generate, in which you can enter at the desired location in the command "\bibliography{literature}".
- If you add the command "\addcontent line{toc}{section}{literature}", is added the bibliography to the table of contents.
