-========================================================================
-
-The amsrefs package deals with bibliographies and citations in LaTeX
-documents. 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).
-
-========================================================================
