\begin{abstract}\noindent This package provides a basic framework to
cite classic works in accordance with traditional pagination systems.
It may be used in conjunction with other citation
packages.\end{abstract}
\section*{Introduction}
If you feel there is something wrong with ``Plato \badcite{1994: pp. 50--1}'',
``Aristotle \badcite{\work{Ethics}, 44}'' or ``Hume \badcite{2000: 303}'', this
package is for you. The |classics| package provides a basic framework to cite
classic works in compliance with traditional pagination systems. For example:
\begin{list}{}{\setlength\itemsep{0pt}\setlength\parskip{0pt}}
\item[]\Stephanus [Theaetetus] {142}[d][4--5]
\item[]\Bekker* [Nic. Eth.] {1179}[b][14]{1180}[a][29]
\item[]\Hume[THN]{3}[1][2]
\end{list}
Citation commands created by |classics| can also be used in conjunction with
other citations engines such as standard |\cite|, |biblatex|, |natbib|, \etc
\section{Synopsis}
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{newclassic}{\oarg{range separator} \marg{classic} \marg{list of formatting directives}}
\Macro{|<|classic|>| }{\oarg{work} \marg{page} \oarg{section}}
\Macro{|<|classic|>*|}{\oarg{work} \marg{page} \oarg{section} \marg{last page} \oarg{section}}
\Macro{newpagination}{\marg{pagination} \marg{singular} \marg{plural} \marg{conjunction}}
\Macro{|<|pagination|>|}{\marg{range}}
\Macro{DeclareClassicWorkFormat}{\marg{formatting directive}}
\end{Macros}
\newpage
\section{Basic usage}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{1ex}
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{newclassic}{\oarg{range separator} \marg{classic} \marg{list of formatting directives}}
\end{Macros}
Creates a citation command |\|\meta{classic} based on a \meta{list of
formatting directives} separated by vertical bars. Each formatting directive
has its own |#1| and is used to declare the format in which to typeset the
reference to a subdivision of a classic work. There can be at most six such
directives. As an example:
\begin{verbatim}\newclassic {Aristotle} {#1|\textit{#1}|#1}\end{verbatim}
would create a new citation command |\Aristotle|:
\begin{Macros}
\MacroExample{Aristotle}{\oarg{work} \marg{page} \oarg{column} \oarg{line}}
\MacroExample{Aristotle*}{\oarg{work} \marg{page} \oarg{column} \oarg{line} \marg{last page} \oarg{column} \oarg{line}}
\end{Macros}
to typeset references in which letters for \meta{column} are printed in italic
type. The starred version |\Aristotle*| is used to cite a range of two pages
separated by \meta{range separator}.
\Note |\Aristotle*| will not typeset \meta{last page} if \meta{page} and
\meta{last page} are the same. However, \meta{last page} will be preserved if
|\Aristotle*| is created by the starred version |\newclassic*|.
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{newpagination} \marg{pagination} \marg{singular} \marg{plural} \marg{conjunction}
\end{Macros}
Creates a command \meta{pagination} to typeset \meta{singular} or \meta{plural}
depending on whether subsequent arguments to \meta{pagination} are
singular or plural. As an example:
\begin{verbatim}\newpagination {\pages} {page} {pages} { and }\end{verbatim}
would create the command |\pages|:
\begin{Macros}
\MacroExample{pages} \marg{range}
\end{Macros}
that automatically typesets |page| \meta{range} if \meta{range} is singular, or
|pages| \meta{range} if \meta{range} is plural, that is, if it contains a
comma, a hyphen, a dash, or \meta{conjunction}.
{\Note} \meta{conjunction} might need to be enclosed in spaces.
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{DeclareClassicWorkFormat}{\marg{formatting directive}}
\end{Macros}
Defines the format to typeset classic titles in. The default \meta{formatting directive} is |\textit{#1}|.
\newpage
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{classicsalph}{\marg{integer}}
\Macro{classicsAlph}{\marg{integer}}
\Macro{classicsroman}{\marg{integer}}
\Macro{classicsRoman}{\marg{integer}}
\end{Macros}
These commands may come in handy if you want to typeset a subdivision as a
letter or Roman numeral, lowercase or uppercase.
\section{Advanced usage}
\begingroup
\DeclareClassicWorkFormat{\textit{#1},}
You may combine |\newclassic| and |\newpagination| to create complex
citation styles. For example:
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{Hume}{\oarg{work} \marg{book} \oarg{part} \oarg{section}}
\end{Macros}
can be created by:
\begin{verbatim}
\DeclareClassicWorkFormat{\textit{#1},}
\newpagination {\books} {book} {books} { and }
\newpagination {\parts} {part} {parts} { and }
\newpagination {\sections} {section} {sections} { and }
\newclassic {Hume} {\books{#1}|, \parts{#1}|, \sections{#1}}
\end{verbatim}
so that: \begin{verbatim}\Hume[Treatise]{3}[1][2]\end{verbatim}would typeset
``\HumeExample[Treatise]{3}[1][2]''.
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{Homer}{\oarg{work} \marg{book} \oarg{lines}}
\end{Macros}
can be created by:
\begin{verbatim}
\DeclareClassicWorkFormat{\textit{#1},}
\newpagination {\books} {book} {books} { and }
\newpagination {\lines} {line} {lines} { and }
\newclassic {Homer} {\books{\classicsRoman{#1}}|, \lines{#1}}
\end{verbatim}
so that:
\begin{verbatim}\Homer[Odyssey]{3}[100--2]\end{verbatim}
will typeset: ``\HomerExample[Odyssey]{3}[100--2]''.
\endgroup
\subsection{Caveat}
Citation styles created by the |classics| package can also be used in
conjunction with standard |\cite|, |biblatex|, |natbib|, \etc
A simple |classics| pagination command created by |\newpagination| can be used
directly within the optional argument to |\cite|:
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{cite} |[\pages|\marg{number}|]| \marg{key}
\end{Macros}
However, a complex |classics| citation command created by |\newclassic| can be
used within the optional argument to |\cite| only if it is enclosed in braces.
\begin{Macros}
\Macro{cite} |[{\Homer|\marg{book}\oarg{line}|}]| \marg{key}
\end{Macros}
For example:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{classics}
\newclassic{Homer}{#1|:#1}
\begin{document}
\cite[{\Homer{3}[100--2]}]{Odyssey}
\begin{thebibliography}{10}
\bibitem[Od.]{Odyssey} Homer. \textit{Odyssey}.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
\end{verbatim}
