-% 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
-% biblio@tug.org. 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.
-% 8-Dec-10 Still version 0.99b, as the code itself was unchanged;
-% this release clarified the license.
-%
-% 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)
