- CUSTOM-BIB Package
-
-**** INFO ******
-(Work on version 4.x has been supported by the American Physical Society)
-
-Current version is 4.31
-*****************
-See list of changes below
-*****************
-
-This is the custom-bib package for generating customized BibTeX bibliography
-styles from a generic file by means of the docstrip program that is part of
-the LaTeX2e installation.
-
-****************************************************************************
-
-To use/install the package:
-
-0. (optional, for hackers) LaTeX makebst.dtx to get the documentation;
- This also extracts makebst.ins from makebst.dtx, if it does not already
- exist.
-1. Run TeX (or LaTeX) on makebst.ins (--> makebst.tex)
-2. Run TeX (or LaTeX) on makebst.tex to start customizing
- your own .bst file. Select merlin as the master file (default) when
- asked. (I have other master files for my own purposes.)
-3. Answer the questions that then arise; for merlin, you will also be asked
- which language support file you want (default is merlin itself, meaning
- English or the pseudo-language Babel). You will also be asked if you want
- to add a file defining short-hand designations for various journals; such
- files are included (physjour.mbs, geojour.mbs, photjour.mbs) for physics
- geophysics, and optics journals, but you could create your own.
-4. The menus that appear may not be informative enough for you. More
- information can be obtained by reading the documentation (on the options)
- contained in the .mbs files themselves. This documentation can be printed
- out by running LaTeX on the .mbs files.
-5. The makebst program only produces a docstrip batch job to generate the .bst
- file. The last question it asks is whether that job should be run right
- away. You can always run it again yourself by running TeX or LaTeX on
- this .dbj file. (The .dbj file can also be manually edited if you want to
- play around with the various options it includes.)
-
-****************************************************************************
-
-The package contains the following files:
- merlin.mbs -- A master BibTeX style file for producing customized
- styles (numerical or author-year) with docstrip. It is
- self-documenting: simply latex it to produce its
- description.
-
- english.mbs -- A sample language support file for English, to act as a
- model for hacking others.
-
- catalan.mbs -- A language support file for Catalan
- dansk.mbs -- A language support file for Danish
- dutch.mbs -- A language support file for Dutch
- esperant.mbs -- A language support file for Esperanto
- finnish.mbs -- A language support file for Finnish
- french.mbs -- A language support file for French
- german.mbs -- A language support file for German
- italian.mbs -- A language support file for Italian
- norsk.mbs -- A language support file for Norwegian
- polski.mbs -- A language support file for Polish
- portuges.mbs -- A language support file for Portuguese
- slovene.mbs -- A language support file for Slovene
- spanish.mbs -- A language support file for Spanish
- svenska.mbs -- A language support file for Swedish
-(Further contributions and corrections are welcome)
-
- physjour.mbs -- A support file to add the names of common Physics journals
- in shorthand form, for example `pr' for Physical Review, or
- Phys. Rev., depending on whether abbreviations are chosen.
-
- photjour.mbs -- A contributed file containing names of optics journals
-
- geojour.mbs -- A contributed file containing names of geophysics journals
- suppjour.mbs -- A contributed file containing further journal names
-
-(Contributions for other fields are welcome)
-
- shorthnd.ins -- (La)TeX this file to obtain shorthnd.tex, which when
- LaTeX'ed lists all the shorthands and journal names
-
-The .mbs files can only be used effectively with the makebst `program', which
-is included in documented source form.
-
- makebst.dtx -- the documented source file; LaTeXing this file produces
- the manual and optionally a documentation of the coding.
- Requires ltxdoc class from the LaTeX2e distribution.
-
- This is version 4.0; necessary with merlin 4.00, but
- works with older versions of merlin.
-
- makebst.ins -- a docstrip batch job to extract from makebst.dtx the
- program file makebst.tex. (This file is actually included
- within makebst.dtx; it is extracted when the .dtx file is
- processed under LaTeX2e.)
-
-****************************************************************************
-
-HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT:-
-Many authors are frustrated at the wide range of bibliographic styles demanded
-by journals and publishers, and at the limited number available with standard
-LaTeX and BibTeX. This is not the fault of the latter, but rather of the lack
-of any bibliographic standards in the English language. Often the differences
-are so trivial (comma or colon, date in brackets or parentheses). The normal
-user does not want to tackle the task of making up his own .bst file (no
-normal human would!)
-
-For this reason, I set out to produce a generic .bst file that could have
-features and options selected by means of the docstrip program.
-I found over 50 different *.bst files and compared their outputs just for
-article: they were all different. They served as part of my input as to which
-features were needed. I knew of a few extra that were not covered by these 50.
-
-I also discovered XBTXBST.DOC, a minor modification of Patashnik's BTXBST.DOC,
-as well as a file PHYSICS.BST, all of which are meant to do precisely what I
-had set up to accomplish. However, they make use of the C Preprocessor
-language. It is really a simple matter to convert the preprocessor commands
-into docstrip equivalents.
-
-Nevertheless, none of these really met all of my needs, so I continued to
-develop GENBST.mbs (GENeric-BibST.MasterBibSt). It soon became obvious that the
-sheer number of options necessary made any kind of customizing a difficult
-chore. Hence, the next step: the program MAKEBST takes menu information from
-the selected .mbs file and presents the user with descriptive choices as
-menus. From the answers, it writes a docstrip batch job (extension .dbj) which
-when TeX'ed, creates the desired .bst file out of the .mbs one. The .dbj file
-may even be hand edited if one wants to alter only one or two options.
-
-Since I first released this system in November 1993, I have received many
-suggestions and requests for additions. I have tried to incorporate as many as
-possible, but often the task is too complicated and I have to leave them out.
-
-The second version of GENBST.mbs allowed other languages to be used. However,
-since the method had considerable overhead per language, I was unsatified with
-it. A parallel version called BABEL.mbs (which was really GENBST.mbs version
-2) has been available for some time, supporting English, French, German, and
-Esperanto, as well as a generic language called Babel.
-
-I then modified MAKEBST to allow more than one .mbs file to be used as
-input for any given .bst output. This means that the language support can be
-contained in separate files, one per language, and does not need to burden the
-main file. The next issue of this main file, version 3, was renamed
-MERLIN.mbs, to emphasize its magical powers.
-
-Version 3 continued to grow as more suggestions and requests were
-contributed. Further language files were offered to me, as well as lists of
-prerecorded journal names. The number of options had grown to roughly 200,
-including the defaults.
-
-The American Physical Society then decided it would like a number of new
-features for its REVTeX package, mainly to support electronic publishing.
-David Carlisle, Mark Doyle, and Arthur Ogawa made up a variant on merlin.mbs
-for this purpose, which I then integrated into the "official" one. Thus was
-born version 4.00 of MERLIN.mbs.
-
-NOTE ON AUTHOR-YEAR CITATIONS:-
-Author-year style citations are not supported by standard LaTeX and BibTeX.
-However, there exist a large number of bib styles for this, all of which need
-some interface package to run properly. There are (at least) 7 different such
-interfaces, including the one I invented for the NATBIB package. If one
-selects author-year style, then one is asked which interface is to be
-used. (Incidentally NATBIB is capable of interpreting all of them.)
-
-LIST OF ALL OPTIONS IN THE DBJ FILE
-The makebst program writes to the .dbj file all the docstrip options that were
-offered in the interactive session with the unselected ones commented out.
-This makes editing afterwards much easier. Often one wants to experiment with
-some of these options, but only wants to run the makebst program once.
-
-This feature (suggested by Frank Mittelbach) is available when the
-makebst.tex file is extracted from makebst.dtx with the `optlist' option;
-without it, only the selected options are listed in the .dbj file.
-Edit the makebst.ins file accordingly; by default, this feature is included.
-
-With version 4, one may select a verbose listing during run time, writing
-more details into the .dbj file, including all possible options, even those
-not offered.
-
-ALLOW MULTIPLE INPUT .MBS FILES
-The .dbj file is so constructed that more than one input .mbs file may be
-read for a single output .bst file. The main .mbs file must have its menu
-coding arranged to take advantage of this, something that merlin.mbs does.
-(The older genbst.mbs and babel.mbs did not have this feature.)
-
-NEW FEATURES OF MERLIN.MBS since genbst.mbs 1.7 and babel 2.5
-Names formatting: can also have reversed full names, as Smith, John George
- (previously reversed names could only be initials)
- John George Smith
- Smith, John George (v3.1)
- J. G. Smith
- Smith, J. G.
- (AGU style: first name reversed, rest normal, all with initials)
- (AGU style but with full names, not initials) (v3.82)
- Smith, J G
- Smith, JG (v3.1)
- Smith J G (v3.2)
-
-Editors' names (in collections) for surname-first styles, may now be formatted
- exactly as the authors'. (Previously these would never be reversed.)
-
- Also possible to have
- In: B. G. Jones, editor, Booktitle [default]
- In: B. G. Jones, (editor), Booktitle
- In: B. G. Jones, (editor) Booktitle
- In: B. G. Jones (editor) Booktitle
- In: Booktitle, edited by B. G. Jones
- In: Booktitle (edited by B. G. Jones)
- In: Booktitle, (edited by B. G. Jones)
- In: Booktitle, editor B. G. Jones
- In: Booktitle, (editor) B. G. Jones
- In: Booktitle (editor B. G. Jones)
- In: Booktitle, (editor B. G. Jones)
- In: Booktitle, B. G. Jones, editor
- In: Booktitle (B. G. Jones, editor)
-
-ISBN and ISSN numbers can optionally be included, if present in database
-
-Volume, number has more possibilities: for volume=34, number=2:
- 34(2) 34 (2) 34, 2 34, no. 2 34, #2 34 34(1997)
-(Last example: the year in parentheses in place of the number)
-
-The following page number can be separated by colon, colon space,
- semi-colon and space, comma and space, or space only
-
-Or even vol. 34 (1994) 2, pp. 234-254 (v3.81)
-
-Date: year coming just after authors may have colon and space following
- date may appear as `1994 Jul', with or without a dot (v3.2)
- date may be part of journal specification, something that is common
- in medical journals (v3.2)
-
-Journal names: the periods in abbreviations may be removed, so Phys. Rev.
- becomes Phys Rev (no change to database necessary)
-
-Author names in citations and list of references may be independently set
- in italic, small caps, or bold. Optionally, first names can be in a
- different font from the surnames.
-
-The mininum number of authors' names before et al. has been raised from
- 6 to 99 (v3.87)
-
-The page numbers in edited works can have `pages' or `pp' suppressed (v3.2)
-
-It is possible to have the names sorted by ignoring the `von' part, so that
- della Robbia comes after Rabin (v3.2)
-
-Publisher's address may come before name, as New York: New Press
- (required by some psychology journals) (v3.3)
-
-Publisher's address may come before the chapter/page information (v3.81)
-
-Number/series can come just before publisher/organization (v3.88)
-
-URL support for online documents (v3.97)
-
-HTML output added, experimental (v3.88)
-
-Refinements added to version 3.3:
- - the extra labels added to years (as 1995a) are grouped in braces
- to avoid some problems with natbib when this extra label is more than
- one letter
-
- - when full author lists may be optional (for harvard and natbib formats)
- they are no longer included if they are identical to the short
- author list
-
-Refinements added to version 3.4:
- - journals can have date between volume and pages, as
- J. Geophys. Res. {\bf 34} (1994) 333-338
- - author block can be terminated with colon
- - if cited authors are in bold, italic, or small caps, then the word
- `and' can be in the regular text font, not in the author font.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.5:
- - Technical Reports can have titles treated like books (default=article)
- - can sort by year then authors
- - can include more than one file with prestored journal names
- - bug fixed for limited number of authors: sort only on those present
- - the `named' format for \bibitem now included.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.6:
- - blocks can be separated by colons as well as commas or periods
- - name of journal can be in normal font, not only italic
- - pages in books may be in parentheses
- - can have `number' as part of page specification: 34, (2)234-(2)254
- - date may be bold
- - if authors in list have special font, then `and' and/or `et al.'
- may be normal font
-
-Refinements added to version 3.7:
- - an option to allow authors to be separated by semi-colons instead of
- by commas
- - fix bug in the option that removes periods from journal names when
- italicized
-
-Refinements added to version 3.8:
- - fix a bug with titles in quotes
- - an option allows ALPHA style citations, of the form ABD90. This
- is essentially a numerical system with some text replacing the number.
- - publishers and address can appear in parentheses
- - punctuation between `blocks' can be suppressed, space only
- - ordering reference list by year is possible for author-year as well as
- numerical modes
- - can put date between volume and number
- - can add `pages' or `pp' to articles
- - cited names in a special font can have the `and' in regular font:
- previously this meant \rm, but now, with NFSS, only the one attribute is
- reset; thus \textbf{\cite{james93}} yields
- \textbf{\textsc{James {\upshape and} Johns}, [1993]}
- so that `and' will be bold non-sc. (Actually, bold small caps does not
- exist in the CM fonts, so a substitution will be made.)
-
-Refinements added to version 3.81:
- - when used with natbib 6.3, the extra letters added to the dates in
- author-year citations (Jones et al, 1994a) are suppressed in the reference
- list when numerical citations are used instead. These letters are
- superfluous in this case and so should not be present.
- - For incollections, the word `in' can be left off.
- - Publisher can be placed before chapter/page information
- - dates can be followed by periods even when block punctuation is comma
-
- - The .mbs files with prestored journal names have been rationalized, to
- remove duplications (or shorthands) and to organize the journal types
- better. Some journals were present several times under different
- shorthands (Phys. Rev. is both pr and physrev); these multiple shorthands
- have been retained for consistency. Duplications of journal AND shorthand
- have been removed. One shorthand clash: jas was both Journal of Applied
- Spectroscopy and Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences; the former has been
- altered to jasp.
- - A file shorthnd.ins is included to assist listing the journal shorthands
-
- - Option yr-com to allow comma before the date.
- - Option pub-date to put publisher and date in parentheses (Nature style)
- - Some internal improvements
-
-Refinements added to version 3.82:
- - Page numbers can come at end before notes
- - Fix up bug with quoted titles when title missing
- - Fix up bug that left off extra date labels for plain dates with no brackets
- or special punctuation
- - Fix up bug that put punctuation before publishers in paretheses
- - Add option to allow full names, with only first author reversed
-
-Refinements added to version 3.83:
- - Edited works can be either Names (eds.), Booktitle
- or Names, (eds.) Booktitle
- Previously only the first version was possible. (There are several other
- possibilities too.)
- - If commas selected as punctuation between blocks, one can still have a
- period coming before any file note.
- - With repeated authors/editors for adjacent references, the repeated names
- can be replaced by a long dash.
- - \BIBand made robust, otherwise it does not really work.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.84:
- - large page numbers can be separated by comma, space, period,
- as 10,345. No provision for 7 digit numbers
- - emphasis can also be underlining; bad policy, since underlining belongs
- to the days of the typewriter, and in LaTeX, \underline command cannot
- be broken across lines. Loading the ulem package by Donald Arseneau
- solves this problem.
- - titles can be in <<guillemots>> (best with T1 encoding, but poor man's
- OT1 also provided; must have LaTeX2e)
- - titles of proceedings and collections can be in quotes if article
- titles in quotes
- - can add year to journal volume in parentheses as vol(year) and still
- format year for books differently.
- - full natbib form of \bibitem resistent against square brackets in names
- or date.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.85:
- - add option to allow junior part of name of appear in citations
- - options for specifying fonts for names: may apply only to the surnames
- if wished, and not to the entire name. User-defined font commands
- \bibnamefont, \bibfnamefont, and \citenamefont may be used too,
- where the names are used as a single argument.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.86:
- - suppress ISBN number for certain crossrefs
- - fix bug with limited number of authors when mininum is 6
- - add option for comma between year and pages
- - restrict \natexlab to natbib styles
-
-Refinements added to version 3.87:
- - Limited number of authors can be as many as 99 (previously 6)
- - Add language field, to switch hyphenation patterns for titles
- - Add url field for all entries
- - Add annote field
- - Months may be suppressed for numerical mode
- - et~al. is no longer hardwired; dutch.mbs allows variations on et~al.
-
-Refinements added to version 3.88:
- - Copyright notices conform to LaTeX Project Public Licence
- - HTML coding can replace the LaTeX pre- and postamble and font commands;
- intended for Web listings of complete databases; LaTeX special symbol
- remain; works only if one selects numerical, not author-year citations.
- - complex coding to convert edition numbers to (multilingual) text and vice
- versa can be removed, saving considerable memory requirements and
- possibly preventing memory overflow
- - by default, number and series for inproceedings and incollection can only
- be used as "Complete Works" (series only) or "Number 3 in Complete Works"
- (number and series). With number only, a warning is issued. New option
- allows number to be a document code number, like REP-01/1998-ab; without
- series, this number is printed bare, without the word "Number", but if
- both number and series are present, the default text "Number .. in .." is
- reinstated.
- - another option allows the number/series to be prepended to the publisher
- and/or organization name.
- - more options to format editors in inproceedings and incollection
- - option to allow the total number of pages in books to be listed; for
- this, the pages field must be given for the entry, a field that is
- normally ignored for books.
- - book titles may be set in upright typeface (default is italic)
- - a slash may be used in place of comma or semi-colon between authors
- - journal names may be preceded by `in' as for incollections
-
-Refinements added to version 3.89:
- - for use with natbib 7.0:
- when author/editor empty, the key field is used in place of author,
- but what is new is the option that the year is then left blank
- in the \bibitem entry. This allows natbib (7.0) to print only the
- key without any year punctuation.
- also optional, if the year itself is missing, it is left blank instead
- of being set to ????.
- - fix a bug that caused the citation font to be missing at times
-
-Refinements added to version 4.00:
- - Entire code reorganized and rationalized (by Arthur Ogawa).
- - For REVTeX, new fields collaboration, eid, eprint, archive, numpages
- - Option for tagging all entries in the bibliography with \bibinfo marker.
- Thus the pages might appear as \bibinfo{pages}{345--350} which prints
- only the page numbers, but allows other programs to parse the entries.
- (Contribution by David Carlisle.)
- - For reversed author names, the junior part can appear either as
- Smith, Jr., John (previously the only possibility) or
- Smith, John, Jr.
- (For some reason, the AGU options that reverse only the leading name in
- an author list always used this latter form.)
- - When surnames and first names are in different fonts, the junior part is
- now in the same font as the first name. Previously, it varied.
- - When abbreviated months or journal names are to be dotless, only the
- dots are removed. Previously all non-alphanumeric characters were
- removed, causing problems with accents in other languages.
- - When author initials are to be dotless, the dot is also removed from
- the junior part.
- - Journal abbreviations in physjour.mbs may be those used in astronomy
- journals, e.g. ApJ for Astrophysical Journal, (aka Astrophys. J.)
-
-Refinements added to version 4.01
- - a bug with the bibinfo tag caused titles not be be case-changed; fixed
- - technical report numbers were not tagged with bibinfo; fixed
- - option added to let the word `in' be in italics.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.02
- - some bugs fixed:
- In: with articles no longer has comma added
- bold dates work when date and publisher together
- typo alfph removed
-
-Refinements added to version 4.03
- - bug fixes
- - add definition of \natexlab to aux file for harvard styles
- - add option thtit-x to suppress thesis titles
- - add option seq-yrr to order by descending years (latest first)
- - Updates to french.mbs, dansk.mbs
- - Fix misprint in physjour.mbs
-
-
-Refinements added to version 4.04:
- - addition of slovene.mbs for Slovenian language.

-
-Refinement added to version 4.05:
- - fix all language files for a bug in suppression of page numbers
- - fix bug in merlin.mbs in inproceedings with pp-last plus dt-beg|dt-end
-
-Refinement added to version 4.06:
- - options for doubled or trebled dashes for repeated authors
-
-Refinements added to version 4.10
- - add doi and eid fields
- Both of these are for electronic journals. The DOI number is a
- universal reference to the electronic location, more robust than
- URLs. Electronic journals do not have page numbers, and use a
- sequence number (called here EID for electronic identifier) to find
- the printed version. The doi field is optional, the eid will always
- be included in the bst file. However, it is still optional within
- any bib file. If present, it appears in place of the page number.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.11
- - fix up doi output to be official style, no blank between doi: and number
- - add options ser-vol and ser-ed
-
-Refinements added to version 4.12
- - add plntx so bbl output will work with Plain TeX (and LaTeX 2.09)
- (the option nfss must also NOT be given, else font commands are LaTeX2e)
-
-Bug fix version 4.12a
- - merlin.mbs and all language files needed fixing because the comma between
- options was inserted in the wrong place for external language files
-
-Refinements added to version 4.13
- - fix a bug in inbook and incollection that suppressed chapter under
- certain conditions
- - add option to put a colon after article and/or book titles
- - add option to format names as Jones, AB (the comma was
- previously not possible)
-
-Refinements added to version 4.14
- - add option to format names as Jones, A.B. (comma, no spaces in initials)
- - add option to suppress comma before et al in reference list.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.15
- - add option to allow new type: presentation. This is for conference talks which are
- not otherwise published. Requires author, title, month, year, organization, address;
- may also have key (= author number for the speaker, this name is highlighted),
- type = oral or poster etc
-
-Refinements added to version 4.16
- - fix minor bug in proceedings, that suppressed number and series under circumstance.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.20
- - add option to allow citation to have more than one author before et al. added.
- - add option to allow truncation for more than two, three, four, or five authors.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.21
- - remove.dots function modified as suggested by Joseph A. Wright [joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk]
- to retain the dot accent \.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.22
- - extra labels in author-year citations can now handle more than 26 entries of same author and year.
- It now goes from a..z, aa, ab, .., az, ba ,..., zz. After that, it will crash.
- Code provided by Joseph A. Wright.
-
-Refinements added to version 4.30
- - a bug fixed when ordering by label and the author list was truncated to a maximum number.
- - number of authors in citations can be up to six instead of five.
- - add option to sort authors by surname only, ignoring initials and first names.
- - minor bugs repaired
-
-Refinements added to version 4.31
- - let the options for punctuation before the date (yr-com, yr-col, yr-per) also work with harvard option harnm.
