# Biblatex style for ISO 690 standard `biblatex` is a bibliography and citation tool for LaTeX. This project provides support for citations in ISO 690 style. As the standard is a little bit ambiguous in some details regarding formatting of records, we largely follow requirements of Czech interpretation, as it is required form in many Czech universities. The style can be used in other languages as well, of course. ## Installation The package is included in MikTeX and TeX Live distributions since 2016, so it could be shipped with your TeX installation. It is also available on CTAN as `biblatex-iso690`: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-iso690 ### Install from GitHub Open the terminal and find location of your `TEXMFHOME` directory with this command: kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME Open this directory and check that the directory `$TEXMFHOME/tex/latex` exists. If it doesn't exist, you must create it. You can do this from the command line or using a file manager. Open the `$TEXMFHOME/tex/latex` directory and either run the command git clone git@github.com:michal-h21/biblatex-iso690.git or unzip the file https://github.com/michal-h21/biblatex-iso690/archive/master.zip here. You should be able to use `biblatex-iso690` now. ## Usage ```latex \usepackage[english,czech]{babel} % the main document language is the last one \usepackage[ backend=biber, % if we want unicode and many other features (biber is already by default) style=iso-authoryear, % or iso-numeric for numeric citation method ]{biblatex} ``` ### Custom options Above and beyond the scope of package options provided by `biblatex` itself, here are also some more. Default values are in **bold**. * `spacecolon` add space before colon in publisher and title (and also title and subtitle): * [true] Praha : Academia * **[false]** Praha: Academia * `pagetotal` print out total number of pages as an additional information in the notes section: * [true] Praha: Academia, 2008 [60 p.] * **[false]** Praha: Academia, 2008 * `shortnumeration` visually distinguish numeration and pagination section: * [true] ... 2011, **32**(3), 289–301 [visited on 2016-05-14] ... * **[false]** ... 2011, vol. 32, no. 3, pp. 289–301 [visited on 2016-05-14] ... * `thesisinfoinnotes` print out thesis information in notes section * **[true]** Available from: <...>. BP. MU, FI, Brno. Supervised by Petr SOJKA * [false] BP. MU, FI, Brno. Supervised by Petr SOJKA. Available from: <...> * `doi` enable or disable printing of the DOI number * **[true]** Available from DOI: [10.5300/2016-1-4/106](https://doi.org/10.5300/2016-1-4/106) * [false] -- * `isbn` enable or disable printing of the ISBN, ISSN and other standard identifiers * **[true]** ISBN 0-201-36299-6 * [false] -- * `eprint` enable or disable printing of the eprint field * **[true]** Available from arXiv: 1905.10545 * [false] -- * `url` enable or disable printing of the URL (this option also affects the printing of `[online]` medium designation for electronic resources other than `@online` entry type) * **[true]** Available from: * [false] -- * `articlepubinfo` enable or disable printing publication information (`location` and `publisher` fields) for an `@article` entry type * [true] Journal of Money, Credit and Banking.

If the publication is written in a different language to the main document, it should have a filled `langid` field. ``` langid = {czech}, ``` 2\. Publications with online versions should have a `urldate` field. It is the date when you last checked the publication online. ``` urldate = {2011-01-12}, ``` 3\. If the publication has more than one ISBN or ISSN number, preferably use just one of them. Otherwise you can separate multiple numbers with comma in the respective field. 4\. Publisher and place: ``` location = {Praha}, publisher = {Academia}, ``` Some fields are added on top of the fields supported by `biblatex` and are valid only for this package. 5\. Supervisor of thesis / dissertation: ``` supervisor = {Petr Sojka}, ``` 6\. Date specificities, anything that doesn't fit into the `date` field: ``` dateaddon = {\mkbibbrackets{16th century}}, ``` For more details see the example bibliography file [mybib.bib](./mybib.bib). ## Contributing ### Translations This package comes with the extension of the localization files (`.lbx`) to their standard versions shipped with `biblatex`. The naming convention for these files is `-iso.lbx`, where `langid` is the name of the language known by Babel. If the `.lbx` is already included in `biblatex`, adding a `-iso.lbx` is as easy as adding this single file to the root directory of this package. Otherwise, please consider [a contribution to the `biblatex` package](https://github.com/plk/biblatex/#translation) first. If you also aim to add new localisation strings, you have to define them via `\NewBibliographyString` command at the beginning of the [iso.bbx](iso.bbx) file. A quick translation guideline for the additional strings is available at the wiki page [Translation Guideline](https://github.com/michal-h21/biblatex-iso690/wiki/Translation-Guideline). You might want to see also some already existing translations, e.g. [english-iso.lbx](english-iso.lbx) or [slovak-iso.lbx](slovak-iso.lbx). ## License Copyright (C) 2011--2020 Michal Hoftich 2015--2020 Moritz Wemheuer 2016--2020 Dávid Lupták This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version.
