This directory contains some +supporting files which you will need (texsis.bst) or which you can use +to test your installation (bibtest.tex and the files is uses). + +The file texsis.bst is a BibTeX style file which tells BibTeX how to +output references in the TeXsis format. You will need to have this +somewhere on your system, either your working directory or the system +area where bibtex looks for such things. To tell bibtex to use this +file you should include the command + + \ReferenceStyle{texsis} + +somewhere in your TeXsis manuscript file (without the .bst extension). + +To tell BibTeX the bibliography (.bib) files it should scan, and to +include any .bbl files bibtex has already created, use the +\ReferenceFiles{} command, somewhere early in your manuscript file. +(Note: LaTeX would have you do this at the end, with the \bibliography{} +command, so this is different.) For example, bibtest.tex uses + + \ReferenceStyle{texsis} + \ReferenceFiles{unix,internet,mylist} + +to search unix.bib, internet.bib, and mylist.bib. + +To create a list of references you should use the TeXsis \ListReference +command, as usual (see TeXsis manual). After running TeXsis once, you +should run BibTeX, and TeXsis again. Done! + +You can try with the example file bibtest.tex: + + texsis bibtest + bibtex bibtest + texsis bibtest + +There is also a LaTeX example file, lbibtest.tex, but you have to run it +through LaTeX *twice* after running bibtex. + + +BibTeX support for TeXsis grew out of a patch to TeXsis by Bernd +Dammann, which he called TXSbib.tex. It is included here, but you +should not need it after TeXsis 2.17. However, you may find his notes +useful (see the file README.TXSbib.tex), and you can get the complete +TXSbib.tex package in one file, called txsbib.shar, if you really want +it. Bernd also created texsis.bst, so he deserves much thanks. You can +send him a nice note at bernd@fki.dtu.dk. + +10 January 1997 + |
