-<h3>URLs in BibTeX bibliographies</h3>
-<p/>There is no citation type for URLs, <em>per se</em>, in the
-standard BibTeX styles, though Oren Patashnik (the author of
-BibTeX) is believed to be considering developing one such for use
-with the long-awaited BibTeX version 1.0.
-<p/>The actual information that need be available in a citation of an
-URL is discussed at some length in the publicly available
-on-line
-
-<a href="http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/tc46sc9/standard/690-2e.htm">extracts of ISO 690&#8211;2</a>;
-the techniques below do <em>not</em> satisfy all the requirements of
-ISO 690&#8211;2, but they offer a solution that is at least
-available to users of today&#8217;s tools.
-<p/>Until the new version of BibTeX arrives, the simplest technique is
-to use the <code>howpublished</code> field of the standard styles&#8217; <code>@misc</code>
-function. Of course, the strictures
-about <a href="FAQ-setURL.html">typesetting URLs</a> still apply, so the
-entry will look like:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-@misc{...,
- ...,
- howpublished = "\url{http://...}"
-}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-A possible alternative approach is to use BibTeX styles other than
-the standard ones, that already have URL entry types.
-Candidates are:
-<ul>
-<li> The <i>natbib</i> styles (<i>plainnat</i>,
- <i>unsrtnat</i> and <i>abbrevnat</i>), which are extensions of
- the standard styles, principally for use with <i>natbib</i>
- itself. However, they&#8217;ve acquired URLs and other &#8220;modern&#8221;
- entries along the way. The same author&#8217;s <i>custom-bib</i> is
- also capable of generating styles that honour URL entries.
-<li> The <i>babelbib</i> bundle, which offers
- <a href="FAQ-i18nbib.html">multilingual bibliographies</a>, similarly provides a
- set of standard-style equivalents that have URL entries.
-<li> More modern styles such as the <i>harvard</i> package (if the
- citation styles are otherwise satisfactory for you).
- <i>Harvard</i> bibliography styles all include a &#8220;<code>url</code>&#8221;
- field in their specification; however, the typesetting offered is
- somewhat feeble (though it does recognise and use
- <i>LaTeX2HTML</i> macros if they are available, to create
- hyperlinks).
-</ul>
-You can also acquire new BibTeX styles by use of Norman Gray&#8217;s
-<i>urlbst</i> system, which is based on a <i>Perl</i> script
-that edits an existing BibTeX style file to produce a new
-style. The new style thus generated has a <code>webpage</code> entry type, and
-also offers support for <code>url</code> and <code>lastchecked</code> fields
-in the other entry types. The <i>Perl</i> script comes with a set
-of converted versions of the standard bibliography styles.
-<p/>Another possibility is that some conventionally-published paper,
-technical report (or even book) is also available on the Web. In such
-cases, a useful technique is something like:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-@techreport{...,
- ...,
- note = "Also available as \url{http://...}"
-}
-</pre>
-
-</blockquote><p>
-There is good reason to use the <i>url</i> or <i>hyperref</i>
-packages in this context: BibTeX has a habit of splitting
-lines it considers excessively long, and if there are no space
-characters for it to use as &#8216;natural&#8217; breakpoints, BibTeX will
-insert a comment (&#8216;<code>%</code>&#8217;) character &#8230; which
-is an acceptable character in an URL. Any current version of the
-<i>url</i> or <i>hyperref</i> package detects this
-&#8220;<code>%</code>&#8211;end-of-line&#8221; structure in its argument, and
-removes it.
