These lists are optionally referring to +page and footnote numbers in your text (index). BibArts has nothing to do +with BibTeX, and it does not use any data bank except your own LaTeX text. + +The lists are created by bibsort. A file bibsort.exe is part of the package +( CTAN mirrors > BibArts > bibarts.zip ) and runs on newer Windows systems. +Other users first have to create a binary file from bibsort.c with their own +C-compiler. A Unix GNU C-compiler accepted the source, but I was not jet +able to test that binary on Unix. BibArts 2.1 is tested on Windows with the +2015/10/01 LaTeX 2e distribution, but most features should even run on 2.09. + + BibArts 2.1 (9 files, 8 dated 2016/03/19): + readme.txt This file here + bibarts.sty The LaTeX style file + ba-short.pdf Short introduction (English) + ba-short.tex Source of ba-short.pdf + bibarts.pdf Full documentation (German) + bibarts.tex Source of bibarts.pdf + bibsort.exe Binary to create the lists + bibsort.c Source of bibsort.exe + COPYING License (dated 1993/11/28) + +=== + +Changes from BibArts versions 1.x (1990s) to versions 2.x: + +Version 2.0 was a completely new package with massive extensions. Since, +bibarts.sty helps to use slanted fonts (italics), and is able to set ibidem +automatically in footnotes. Therefore, it is now possible to add volume and +page numbers e.g. to the \vli command (\vli did also exist in 1.x for full +references to literature), and the new \kli command (shortened references). +Prepared text elements (captions) are provided in English, French and German. + +bibsort is now making the index numbers; BibArts does no more use MakeIndex. + +bibarts.sty starts an emulation for 1.3 texts, when you type \makebar, but +better also keep copies of the package files of a BibArts 1.x, when you did +write texts with it. BibArts now uses .aux files instead of a .bar file. +Even if you set \makebar, any changes to commands \schrift, \barschrift, and +\indschrift will be ignored. \verw and \punctuation do not exist any more; +see examples for the new commands \frompagesep and \ntsep in bibarts.pdf. + +=== + +Changes from BibArts version 2.0 (2015) to version 2.1: + +You now may choose your own order of page and footnote numbers in the index +(roman--arabic, arabic--roman, etc.). Type bibsort -s2 xxxx for page and +... -f2 xxxx for footnote numbers. xxxx are permutations of four letters +out of nRrAas (a=alph, A=Alph, n=arabic, R=Roman, r=roman, s=fnsymbol): +You always have to set n and s, and to choose R *or* A, and r *or* a. E.g. +srnR means, that you can use \Roman in your text, but you do not have to. + +bibsort is able to evaluate the new fnsymbols (which expand to \TextOrMath). + +If bibsort should write into files with a different prefix as the .aux input +file, you have to use -o <outfile> now. And you may type bibsort <infile>, +*or* bibsort -i <infile> (e.g., when the input file name begins with '-'). + +bibarts.sty will be even loaded, when ~":;!?'`<> are active (catcode 13); +and bibsort is sorting also "z (not only "s) as \ss now; see bibarts.pdf. + +bibsort sorts the 'official' $Greek variables$ since version 2.0. To write +single words in Old Greek, BibArts 2.1 also provides \Alpha [A], \Beta [B], +\Epsilon [E], \Zeta [Z], \Eta [H=sort=>E], \Iota [I], \Kappa [K], \Mu [M], +\Nu [N], \Rho [P==>R], \Tau [T], \Chi [X==>Ch], \Omicron [O], \omicron [o]. + +BibArts 2.0 set \footnotesep to 2ex, whereas 2.1 does *not* change the +pre-setted value. If you want to continue with the 2.0 distance between two +footnotes, you will have to type \setlength{\footnotesep}{2ex} in your text. + +Some of the prepared text elements (captions) have been modernized. The +\evkctitlename changed from {Short Titles} to {Shortened References}. And +\gannouncektitname changed to '... im Folgenden'.
