-                              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.
-  - additional journal in geojour.mbs
-
-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
