+<h3>Creating a bibliography style</h3>
+<p/>It <em>is</em> possible to write your own: the standard bibliography
+styles are distributed in a commented form, and there is a description
+of the language (see
+
+<a href="FAQ-BibTeXing.html">BibTeX documentation</a>).
+However, it must be admitted that the language in which BibTeX
+styles are written is pretty obscure, and one would not recommend
+anyone who&rsquo;s not a confident programmer to write their own, though
+minor changes to an existing style may be within the grasp of many.
+<p/>If your style isn&rsquo;t too &lsquo;far out&rsquo;, you can probably generate it by
+using the facilities of the <i>custom-bib</i> bundle. 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&rsquo;t offer entirely new styles
+of document, but the system&rsquo;s &ldquo;master BibTeX styles&rdquo; already
+offer significantly more than the BibTeX standard set.
