# 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. ## Install 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: ``` \usepackage[english,czech]{babel} % main language of the document must be last \usepackage[ backend=biber % if we want unicode ,style=iso-authoryear % or iso-numeric for numeric citation method ,autolang=other % to support multiple languages in bibliography ,sortlocale=cs_CZ % locale of main language, for sorting ,bibencoding=UTF8 % this is necessary only if bibliography file is in different encoding than main document ]{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. Supervisor Petr SOJKA * [false] BP. MU, FI, Brno. Supervisor Petr SOJKA. Available from: <...> ### Bibliographic fields Some fields have a different meaning than in plain BibTeX. 1\. 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, use just one of them. 4\. Publisher and place: ``` location = {Praha}, publisher = {Academia} ``` For more details see the file [mybib.bib](https://github.com/michal-h21/biblatex-iso690/blob/master/mybib.bib). ## License Copyright (C) 2011--2017 Michal Hoftich 2015--2017 Moritz Wemheuer 2016--2017 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.
