August 2006} \begin{document} \maketitle% \newpage% \section{Introduction} Munich.bst was created as a Bibtex style that complements the existing Bibtex styles for name (year) citations. In most cases the popular Harvard Bibtex style (\url{http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/harvard-latex.html}) or the Oxford Bibtex style (\url{http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/oxford.html}) lead to good results. Yet I found them not entirely suitable to create a bibliography for a German/continental Europe academic paper. Namely three aspects were not satisfactory: % \begin{itemize} \item Multiple authors are to be separated with a slash only; no additional spaces should be inserted. % \item With the existing styles the city, in which the work was published, is omitted or not positioned at the end of the biography entry.% \item The existing styles use punctuation and italics/bold face in rather untypical way for a German/continental Europe bibliography. \end{itemize} % \section{Description} Munich.bst is based on the result of a custom-bib (\url{http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/custom-bib.html}) query. Various changes have been made to the resulting Bibtex style. Munich.bst is designed to work with the natbib package. (\url{http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/natbib.html})\\ For further reference you should find in the same directory where you found this document a .tex file example\_munich\_bibtex\_style.tex and the respective .pdf document example\_munich\_bibtex\_style.pdf. These files will give you an idea how to work with munich.bst and what to expect from using this Bibtex style. It also contains a set of new commands that work well in conjunction with natbib and offer new citation formats. In particular, citations with a page reference are not completely put between brackets but only the page reference itself. Please note that the ifthen package (\url{http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/ifthen.html}) must be installed to use these customized commands. \section{Contact} Feel free to use munich.bst and the customized commands with your LaTex document. For comments you can contact me at: \url{brixner_m@yahoo.de}. Please note that I will not be able to offer support for your particular document or to debug your biography. I hope you enjoy using munich.bst.\\[0.5cm]% % \hspace{1cm}M.\,Brixner\\% % \section{Reference -- Customized commands} \begin{verbatim} % Customized commands***** % Additional commands, not needed but they come in % handy if you want to include page numbers and do % not want the whole entry to be put between brackets. %************************* \newcommand{\ct}[2][] {% \citet{#2}% \ifthenelse{\equal{}{#1}}{.}{, S.\,#1.}% } %************************* \newcommand{\fct}[2][] {% \footnote{ \citet{#2}% \ifthenelse{\equal{}{#1}}{.}{, S.\,#1.}% }} %************************* \newcommand{\fctv}[2][] {% \footnote{Vgl.\ % \citet{#2}% \ifthenelse{\equal{}{#1}}{.}{, S.\,#1.}% }} %************************* \end{verbatim} \end{document}
