This +contains a file <i>makebst.tex</i>, which runs you through a text menu +to produce a file of instructions, with which you can generate your +own <code>.bst</code> file. This technique doesn’t offer entirely new styles +of document, but the system’s “master BibTeX styles” already +offer significantly more than the BibTeX standard set. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>BibTeX documentation</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/distribs/doc.zip">biblio/bibtex/distribs/doc</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/distribs/doc.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/distribs/doc/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>makebst.tex</i></tt><dd>Distributed with <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.zip">macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=custbib">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=custbib</a> +</body> |
