Thank you so much Herb for spotting my mistake.
I had spent ages searching for a reason and couldn’t see why it wouldn’t work for me.
I fixed my mistake that you spotted and now it works perfectly!

Thanks again

Bridget

Hi
http://math.ucdenver.edu/~billups/courses/ma5779/annotated_bibliography.html <http://math.ucdenver.edu/~billups/courses/ma5779/annotated_bibliography.html>
I have faithfully followed instructions, as far as I can tell, but Texshop says ?cannot find stylefile? when I try to run Bibtex.
The file I?m using is plain-annote.bst as detailed on the webpage link above.
I?m using macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6 (17H65) with Texshop Version 4.12 (4.12)
I have my .tex file in a folder with the plain-annote.bst and with my .bib file.
Can you see what I may be doing wrong? Or any suggestions for me to try. I?m not an expert, but i?ve been using TexShop for some years now without much difficulty.
Many thanks in anticipation of your help
Bridget

Howdy,
I assume you are using the sample files at that web site. The sample file has used - instead of _ in the \bibliographystyle command. Change it from
\bibliographystyle{plain-annote}
to
\bibliographystyle{plain_annote}
which is the correct name for the .bst file.
Good Luck,

Howdy,

Ok... now try this:

Place the line

% !TEX program = latexmk

at the top of your .tex file and then typeset the file simply using Typeset->Typeset (Cmd-T) menu item. That will completely typeset your document running latex, bibtex and latex the proper number of times to fully typeset your document. No more running

latex
bibtex
latex
latex

(and, depending upon what you're doing latex again and/or makeindex, etc.).

Good Luck,

Howdy,

Sigh... if you're actually using pdflatex the line should be

% !TEX program = pdflatexmk

and if you really are just using latex rather than pdflatex you'll have to activate the latexmk engines before using them.

To activate all of the latexmk based engines open up click on the
TeXShop->Open ~/Library/TeXShop command to open the ~/Library/TeXShop folder. Open the Engines folder and then the Inactive folder and, inside that one, the Latexmk folder. Copy all the files with extension .engine directly into the Engines folder (You'll be asked if you wish to replace the pdflatexmk.engine file---click yes). Then restart TeXShop.

Good Luck,
