The basic citation command remains more or less the same as -in standard LaTeX (\cite), but a number of additional variations address -certain known pitfalls or gaps in the standard LaTeX set of citation -features. - -The command for bibliography items is different -- \bib instead of -\bibitem -- for reasons that will be evident upon further reading in -the documentation. - -A set of BibTeX style files are provided to allow people to extract -data from .bib files and produce .bbl files in amsrefs format instead -of conventional \bibitem format. - -User documentation is in amsrdoc.pdf and amsrefs.faq. - -Technical documentation (including documentation for package writers) -is in amsrefs.pdf. - -======================================================================== -I. FEATURES - --- Preservation of structure. - -The internal structural information of the bibliography entries is not -lost when they are imported from the database file into the LaTeX -document. This takes on its greatest significance when archiving -documents in LaTeX form or transmitting them to another user (such as a -publisher). - --- Deferred formatting. - -This means that the style of the bibliography can be changed on demand -without re-importing everything from the original database(s). - --- More natural data format for titles. - -Proper nouns do not need to have braces added to prevent capitalization -problems. - --- Less ambiguous format for author names. - -When author names are given in inverted order (last name first) it is -possible for LaTeX to unambiguously identify the last name without any -further markup, even in cases like Saunders Mac Lane (Mac Lane, -Saunders) versus Stephen H. Lane (Lane, Stephen H.), or Cam Van Tran -(Tran, Cam Van) versus Bert Van Keulen (Van Keulen, Bert). In -BibTeX some of these would need to have extra braces added to ensure -that the surname is accurately distinguished. - --- Author-year citations. - -There is integrated support for citations in author-year form. - --- Back-reference support. - -Works in conjunction with the hyperref package. - --- Setup requires only LaTeX knowledge. - -All bibliography setup can be done in LaTeX; learning another -programming language (such as, the one used in BibTeX bst files) is -unnecessary. - --- Self-printable database files. - -A LaTeX document that contains only a bibliography in amsrefs forms can -be used as a database for exporting entries to other documents. And -because it is a LaTeX document, the database can be printed directly at -any time simply by running it through LaTeX in the usual way. - --- Self-contained. - -In many cases it seems possible to do without BibTeX entirely. For -example, if the entries are extracted from a single database file that -is maintained in sorted order, the bibliography can be printed directly -by LaTeX on the first pass and the citations resolved on the second -pass. - -======================================================================== -II. GETTING STARTED - -1. Install the package, referring to install.txt as needed. - -2. There are four example files provided: - - cite-xa : Demonstrates an author-year citation scheme. The - bibliography is embedded in the .tex file instead of - residing in a separate .bbl file. - - cite-xb : Demonstrates usage with more-or-less standard BibTeX - methods. - - cite-xs : Shows how the bbl file can be created by LaTeX itself from a - suitably presorted ltb file. - - cite-xh : A working hyperref/backrefs example. - -3. Run LaTeX on cite-xa.tex. Take a look at the messages that have to - do with citations and the bibliography section. Run LaTeX again to - resolve the citations and check the output. - -4. Run LaTeX on cite-xb.tex. Run BibTeX. Look at the bbl file. - Interesting, huh? Run LaTeX twice more to resolve the citations. - -5. Run LaTeX on cite-xs.tex and look at the output. - -6. Run pdflatex on cite-xh.tex (it is set up to use BibTeX also, like - cite-xb). - -======================================================================== -III. REMARKS ON THIS RELEASE - -This release fixes a few bugs and restates the license under which the -package is distributed. - -See section IV (CHANGE LOG) for a complete list of user-visible -changes. - -======================================================================== -IV.
