-<h3>Choosing a bibliography style</h3>
-<p/>A large proportion of people are satisfied with one of Patashnik&rsquo;s
-original &ldquo;standard&rdquo; styles, <i>plain</i>, <i>unsrt</i>,
-<i>abbrv</i> and <i>alpha</i>. However, no style in that set
-supports the &ldquo;author-date&rdquo; citation style that is popular in many
-fields; but there are a very large number of contributed styles
-available, that <em>do</em> support the format.
-<p/>(Note that author-date styles arose because the simple and clear
-citation style that <i>plain</i> produces is so awkward in a
-traditional manuscript preparation scenario. However, TeX-based
-document production does away with all those difficulties, leaving us
-free once again to use the simple option.)
-<p/>Fortunately, help is at hand, on the Web, with this problem:
-<ul>
-<li> a sample text, showing the sorts of style choices available, can
- be found on
-
-
- <a href="http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html">Ken Turner&rsquo;s web site</a>;
-<li> an excellent survey, that lists a huge variety of styles,
- sorted into their nominal topics as well as providing a good range
- of examples, is the Reed College
-
-
- &ldquo;<a href="http://web.reed.edu/cis/help/LaTeX/bibtexstyles.html">Choosing a BibTeX style</a>&rdquo;.
-</ul>
-<p/>Of course, these pages don&rsquo;t cover everything; the problem the
-inquisitive user faces, in fact, is to find what the various available
-styles actually do. This is best achieved (if the links above don&rsquo;t
-help) by using <i>xampl.bib</i> from the BibTeX documentation
-distribution: one can get a pretty good feel for any style one has to
-hand using this &ldquo;standard&rdquo; bibliography. For style
-<i>my-style.bst</i>, the simple LaTeX document:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\documentclass{article}
-\begin{document}
-\bibliographystyle{my-style}
-\nocite{*}
-\bibliography{xampl}
-\end{document}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-will produce a representative sample of the citations the style will
-produce. (Because <i>xampl.bib</i> is so extreme in some of its
-&ldquo;examples&rdquo;, the BibTeX run will also give you an interesting
-selection of BibTeX&rsquo;s error messages...)
