Here is a collection of BibTeX documentation. A BibTeX FAQ and Tips guide is currently under development and will be posted here when completed. ********************* Files ********************** README - This file. btxdoc.pdf - The BibTeX user guide in PDF format. btxhak.pdf - The BibTeX style hacking guide in PDF format. btxsrc.pdf - Commented source code for the BibTeX program. May be of interest to those who are compiling BibTeX from source. Page 5 has a list of BibTeX capacity parameters. ************************************************** In addition to the information here, BibTeX users may find the following to be of help: 1. Nelson Beebe's TeX User Group Bibliography Archive contains many BibTeX databases: http://www.math.utah.edu:8080/pub/tex/bib/index-table.html 2. Patrick W. Daly's custom-bib (makebst) package can be used to create custom BibTeX styles: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/custom-bib/ 3. BibTeX style writers may also find the commented source code for the standard styles in btxbst.doc at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/distribs/doc/ to be helpful. Note that this an ASCII (not MS Word) document. The IEEEtran.bst BibTeX style source code is also heavily commented and has a lot of advanced features: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/IEEEtran/ ********************************************************************** Legal Notice: This code and advice is offered as-is without any warranty either expressed or implied; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE!
