These restrictions +% help ensure that all standard versions of these macros are identical, +% and that Oren doesn't get deluged with inappropriate e-mail. +% +% This file, apalike.tex, contains TeX macros that let you use the +% apalike bibliography style with plain TeX. In essence, this file +% provides the TeX counterpart to apalike.sty, the LaTeX style file +% required for using the apalike bibliography style. Please report any +% bugs (outright goofs, misfeatures, or unclear documentation) to Oren +% Patashnik (opbibtex@cs.stanford.edu). These macros will become frozen +% shortly after BibTeX version 1.00 is released. +% +% AMS-TEX WARNING: This style (apalike) doesn't work with AmS-TeX's +% `amsppt' style, because AmS-TeX redefines the tie character `~' of +% plain TeX, and the `amsppt' style redefines plain TeX's `\nobreak' +% macro, so that a multiple-author reference for which `apalike' +% automatically produces an in-text citation like `(Jones et~al., 1992)' +% will throw AmS-TeX's `amsppt' style into an infinite loop, exceeding +% its input stack size. (I've checked no other AmS-TeX styles for this +% problem.) The AmS-TeX warning of btxmac.tex gives more information. +% END OF AMS-TEX WARNING. +% +% Editorial note (i.e., flame): +% Many journals require a style like `apalike', but I recommend that you +% not use it if you have a choice---use something like `plain' instead. +% Mary-Claire van Leunen (A Handbook for Scholars, Knopf, 1979) argues +% convincingly that a style like `plain' encourages better writing than +% one like `apalike'. Furthermore the best argument for using an +% author-date style like `apalike'---that it's "the most practical" +% (The Chicago Manual of Style, University of Chicago Press, thirteenth +% edition, 1982, pages 400--401)---falls flat on its face with the new +% computer-typesetting technology. For instance page 401 of the Chicago +% Manual anachronistically states "The chief disadvantage of [a style +% like `plain'] is that additions or deletions cannot be made after the +% manuscript is typed without changing numbers in both text references +% and list." With (La)TeX the disadvantage obviously evaporates. +% Moreover, apalike indulges in what I think is a shortsighted practice: +% automatically abbreviating first names. Abbreviating may occasionally +% make the work a page shorter, but at the cost of a less useful +% reference list; that's too high a cost for such a marginal benefit. +% The offense isn't egregious for a name like `Donald E. Knuth'---at +% least among those familiar with his field---since there aren't many +% other `D. E. Knuth's floating around. But referring to `D. E. Smith' +% in a field having more than one can be quite confusing. Moreover, +% with the proliferation of computers and citation indexes nowadays, +% it's important to indicate in the reference list an author's name +% exactly as it appears in the work cited. Automatically abbreviating +% first names is simply bad scholarship. (End of flame.) +% +% To use these macros you need the btxmac.tex macros, which let you use +% BibTeX with plain TeX (rather than with LaTeX); the file btxmac.tex +% explains those macros in detail, and gives examples. You simply +% \input apalike right after you \input btxmac to invoke these macros. +% +% +% HISTORY +% +% Oren Patashnik wrote the original version of these macros in December +% 1990, for use with btxmac.tex. +% +% 12-Dec-90 Version 0.99a, first general release. +% 29-Feb-92 0.99b, changed `\biblabelextrahang' to `\biblabelextraspace', +% to keep up with btxmac.tex version 0.99i. +% +% +% Here, finally (I swear, I thought he was never gonna stop), are the +% macros. The first bunch makes the label empty and sets 2em of +% hanging indentation (via \biblabelextraspace) for each entry. +% +\def\biblabelprint#1{\noindent}% +\def\biblabelcontents#1{}% +\def\bblhook{\biblabelextraspace = 2em }% +% +% +% And the last bunch formats an in-text citation: parens around the +% entire citation; semicolons separating individual references; and a +% comma between a reference and its note (like `page 41') if it exists. +% +\def\printcitestart{(}% left paren +\def\printcitefinish{)}% right parent +\def\printbetweencitations{; }% semicolon, space +\def\printcitenote#1{, #1}% comma, space, note (if it exists) |
