+ Inline bibliography style
+
+ I want to have by BiBTeX generated references inlined in footnotes
+ rather than the very terse references BiBTeX generates by default, so
+ I hacked together a BiBTeX style to do that. These macros are not
+ polished or in the form of a proper distribution, but I have used them
+ with succes myself.
+
+ The following discription have been made in haste. I will document it
+ better when I have the time (RSN :-).
+
+ There are two files: [1]inlinebib.sty and [2]indexing.bst.
+
+The idea
+
+ This works just like any other BiBTeX style. It will still generate
+ the bibliography at the end of the document, but it will also store
+ all the entries in the .aux files, so they can be inlined in the
+ following latex run.
+
+ The first time a citation is made using \cite the complete
+ bibliography entry is inserted. The following citations to the same
+ entry will generate a short form, with only authors last name and a
+ shortened title, followed by a "cit.". If the same bibliography entry
+ is cited several times in a row, the text will only be "ibid.".
+
+ Citations of this form are designed to be used in footnotes.
+
+ A little example migth be appropriate (don't we all love
+ screenshots!).
+
+ Footnotes from page one:
+ [Example 1]
+
+ Footnotes from page two:
+ [Example 2]
+
+ (the overstrike problem is courtesy of xdvi(1))
+
+ It is not possible to avoid having the complete bibliography at the
+ end of the document. The macros simply won't work without it. If you
+ don't need it, just don't print it.
+
+Usage
+
+ Formalities
+
+ To use these macros put the file inlinebib.sty in your LaTeX search
+ path and inlinebib.bst in your BiBTeX style search path and then put
+ the line:
+
+\usepackage{inlinebib}
+
+ in the preamble of your document.
+
+ Other commands have to be added at the point where you want the
+ bibliography to appear, usually at the end of the document. To tell
+ BiBTeX to use the inlinebib style, you have to use bibliographystyle:
+
+\bibliographystyle{inlinebib}
+
+ Often I add a leading explanation to the bibliography with the
+ \bibliographycomment macro. That is:
+
+\bibliographycomment{This bibliography ...}
+
+ The actual index is produced by the \bibliography macro. Here you have
+ to specify which BiBTeX databases you want to use.
+
+\bibliography{file ...}
+
+ These were all the formalities.
+
+ Doing citations
+
+ When writing, just make citations as usual. Remember that these macros
+ can produce very verbose references, and they are intended for
+ footnotes.
+
+ The default implementation of \cite allows several bibliography
+ entries to be cited. This version allows only one at a time. It still
+ supports the optional argument, which should be a page reference
+ within the cited text.
+
+ There are a few additional macros available. \fullycite forces a
+ reference in the long form, \shortcite forces the short form, and
+ \noibid disables the generation "ibid." references for the next
+ citation (this can for example be used at the end of each chapter).
+
+ To force later citations for certain entries to be either long or
+ short, the macros \fullcitenext{} and \shortcitenext{} can be used.
+ The single argument is a comma separated list of BiBTeX labels that
+ should be either long or short the next time they are cited. E.g., the
+ code \fullcitenext{book1, book2} will cause LaTeX to forget that the
+ two references might have been seen earlier and they will be handled
+ as if they haven't be cited yet.
+
+ The BiBTeX databases
+
+ This style does not require special changes to the BiBTeX databases.
+
+ Sometimes the BiBTeX style doesn't manage to calculate the proper
+ short forms of the author and the title. In that case the BiBTeX
+ entries in question can be extended with shortauthor = {shorter author
+ name} and shorttitle = {short form of title}.
+
+Tips and tricks
+
+ I have some macros to format page ranges, that I use with this BiBTeX
+ style. They should be usable with other styles as well.
+
+ The macros are here: [3]pageranges.sty
+
+ This file defined one user visible macro: \pages{}, which will do the
+ following transformations of the single argument:
+
+ \pages{N}
+ becomes: p.~N
+
+ \pages{N-}
+ becomes: pp.~N~ff
+
+ \pages{N-M}
+ becomes: pp.~N--M
+
+ \pages{N M}
+ becomes: pp.~N M
+
+ The last version is for cases like \pages{213, 345 and~654} which will
+ become pp.~213, 345 and~654.
+
+ I often have this little definition in a LaTeX style file. It makes
+ \cite do page ranges automatically and also puts the author in the
+ index (see [4]the indexing macros).
+
+%% Automatically fix page ranges in citations and index author
+\let\RS@citex\@citex
+\def\@citex[#1]#2{\I@indexonly-{#2}\RS@citex[\pages{#1}]{#2}}
