Of course, the strictures -about <a href="FAQ-setURL.html">typesetting URLs</a> still apply, so the -entry will look like: -<blockquote> -<pre> -@misc{..., - ..., - howpublished = "\url{http://...}" -} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -A possible alternative approach is to use BibTeX styles other than -the standard ones, that already have URL entry types. -Candidates are: -<ul> -<li> The <i>natbib</i> styles (<i>plainnat</i>, - <i>unsrtnat</i> and <i>abbrevnat</i>), which are extensions of - the standard styles, principally for use with <i>natbib</i> - itself. However, they’ve acquired URLs and other “modern” - entries along the way. The same author’s <i>custom-bib</i> is - also capable of generating styles that honour URL entries. -<li> The <i>babelbib</i> bundle, which offers - <a href="FAQ-i18nbib.html">multilingual bibliographies</a>, similarly provides a - set of standard-style equivalents that have URL entries. -<li> More modern styles such as the <i>harvard</i> package (if the - citation styles are otherwise satisfactory for you). - <i>Harvard</i> bibliography styles all include a “<code>url</code>” - field in their specification; however, the typesetting offered is - somewhat feeble (though it does recognise and use - <i>LaTeX2HTML</i> macros if they are available, to create - hyperlinks). -</ul> -You can also acquire new BibTeX styles by use of Norman Gray’s -<i>urlbst</i> system, which is based on a <i>Perl</i> script -that edits an existing BibTeX style file to produce a new -style. The new style thus generated has a <code>webpage</code> entry type, and -also offers support for <code>url</code> and <code>lastchecked</code> fields -in the other entry types. The <i>Perl</i> script comes with a set -of converted versions of the standard bibliography styles. -<p/>Another possibility is that some conventionally-published paper, -technical report (or even book) is also available on the Web. In such -cases, a useful technique is something like: -<blockquote> -<pre> -@techreport{..., - ..., - note = "Also available as \url{http://...}" -} -</pre> - -</blockquote><p> -There is good reason to use the <i>url</i> or <i>hyperref</i> -packages in this context: BibTeX has a habit of splitting -lines it considers excessively long, and if there are no space -characters for it to use as ‘natural’ breakpoints, BibTeX will -insert a comment (‘<code>%</code>’) character ... which -is an acceptable character in an URL. Any current version of the -<i>url</i> or <i>hyperref</i> package detects this -“<code>%</code>–end-of-line” structure in its argument, and -removes it. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>babelbib bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>custom-bib bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.zip">macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>harvard.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/harvard.zip">macros/latex/contrib/harvard</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/harvard.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/harvard/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>hyperref.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref.zip">macros/latex/contrib/hyperref</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>natbib styles</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib.zip">macros/latex/contrib/natbib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>url.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/url.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/url.sty</a> -<dt><tt><i>urlbst</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=citeURL">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=citeURL</a> -</body> |
