(One doesn’t -ordinarily output annotations in other styles.) -<p/>The solution is to make a copy of the style file (or get a clean copy -from CTAN — <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtools/abstract.bst">biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtools/abstract.bst</a>), and rename it (e.g., on a -long file-name system, to <i>abstract-long.bst</i>). Now edit it: find -function <code>output.nonnull</code> and -<ul> -<li> change its first line (line 60 in the version on CTAN) - from - <blockquote> -<pre> -{ 's := -</pre> - </blockquote><p> -to - <blockquote> -<pre> -{ swap$ -</pre> - </blockquote><p> - Finally, -<li> delete the function’s last line, which just says “<code>s</code> - (line 84 in the version on CTAN). -</ul> -Finally, change your <code>\</code><code>bibliographystyle</code> command to refer to the -name of the new file. -<p/>This technique applies equally to any bibliography style: the same -change can be made to any similar <code>output.nonnull</code> function. -<p/>If you’re reluctant to make this sort of change, the only way forward -is to take the entry out of the database, so that you don’t encounter -BibTeX’s limit, but you may need to retain the entry because it -will be included in the typeset document. In such cases, put the body -of the entry in a separate file: -<blockquote> -<pre> -@article{long.boring, - author = "Fred Verbose", - ... - abstract = "{\input{abstracts/long.tex}}" -} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -In this way, you arrange that all BibTeX has to deal with is the -file name, though it will tell TeX (when appropriate) to include -all the long text. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=bibstrtl">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=bibstrtl</a> -</body> |
