It is compatible with the standard bibliographic style files, such as \texttt{plain.bst}, as well as with those for \texttt{harvard}, \texttt{apalike}, \texttt{chicago}, \texttt{astron}, \texttt{authordate}, and of course \thestyle. \head{Loading} Load with |\usepackage[|\emph{options}|]{|\thestyle|}|. See list of \emph{options} at the end. \head{Replacement bibliography styles} I provide three new \texttt{.bst} files to replace the standard \LaTeX\ numerical ones: \begin{quote}\ttfamily plainnat.bst \qquad abbrvnat.bst \qquad unsrtnat.bst \end{quote} \head{Basic commands} The \thestyle\ package has two basic citation commands, |\citet| and |\citep| for \emph{textual} and \emph{parenthetical} citations, respectively. There also exist the starred versions |\citet*| and |\citep*| that print the full author list, and not just the abbreviated one. All of these may take one or two optional arguments to add some text before and after the citation. \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} |\citet{jon90}| & Jones et al. (1990)\\ |\citet[chap.~2]{jon90}| & Jones et al. (1990, chap.~2)\\[0.5ex] |\citep{jon90}| & (Jones et al., 1990)\\ |\citep[chap.~2]{jon90}| & (Jones et al., 1990, chap.~2)\\ |\citep[see][]{jon90}| & (see Jones et al., 1990)\\ |\citep[see][chap.~2]{jon90}| & (see Jones et al., 1990, chap.~2)\\[0.5ex] |\citet*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams (1990)\\ |\citep*{jon90}| & (Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990) \end{tabular} \end{quote} \head{Multiple citations} Multiple citations may be made by including more than one citation key in the |\cite| command argument. \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} |\citet{jon90,jam91}| & Jones et al. (1990); James et al. (1991)\\ |\citep{jon90,jam91}| & (Jones et al., 1990; James et al. 1991)\\ |\citep{jon90,jon91}| & (Jones et al., 1990, 1991)\\ |\citep{jon90a,jon90b}| & (Jones et al., 1990a,b) \end{tabular} \end{quote} \head{Numerical mode} These examples are for author--year citation mode. In numerical mode, the results are different. \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} |\citet{jon90}| & Jones et al. [21]\\ |\citet[chap.~2]{jon90}| & Jones et al. [21, chap.~2]\\[0.5ex] |\citep{jon90}| & [21]\\ |\citep[chap.~2]{jon90}| & [21, chap.~2]\\ |\citep[see][]{jon90}| & [see 21]\\ |\citep[see][chap.~2]{jon90}| & [see 21, chap.~2]\\[0.5ex] |\citep{jon90a,jon90b}| & [21, 32] \end{tabular} \end{quote} \head{Suppressed parentheses} As an alternative form of citation, |\citealt| is the same as |\citet| but \emph{without parentheses}. Similarly, |\citealp| is |\citep| without parentheses. Multiple references, notes, and the starred variants also exist. \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} |\citealt{jon90}| & Jones et al.\ 1990\\ |\citealt*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams 1990\\ |\citealp{jon90}| & Jones et al., 1990\\ |\citealp*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990\\ |\citealp{jon90,jam91}| & Jones et al., 1990; James et al., 1991\\ |\citealp[pg.~32]{jon90}| & Jones et al., 1990, pg.~32\\ |\citetext{priv.\ comm.}| & (priv.\ comm.) \end{tabular} \end{quote} The |\citetext| command allows arbitrary text to be placed in the current citation parentheses. This may be used in combination with |\citealp|. \head{Partial citations} In author--year schemes, it is sometimes desirable to be able to refer to the authors without the year, or vice versa. This is provided with the extra commands \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} |\citeauthor{jon90}| & Jones et al.\\ |\citeauthor*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams\\ |\citeyear{jon90}| & 1990\\ |\citeyearpar{jon90}| & (1990) \end{tabular} \end{quote} \head{Forcing upper cased names} If the first author's name contains a \textsl{von} part, such as ``della Robbia'', then |\citet{dRob98}| produces ``della Robbia (1998)'', even at the beginning of a sentence. One can force the first letter to be in upper case with the command |\Citet| instead. Other upper case commands also exist. \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{rl@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l} when & |\citet{dRob98}| & della Robbia (1998) \\ then & |\Citet{dRob98}| & Della Robbia (1998) \\ & |\Citep{dRob98}| & (Della Robbia, 1998) \\ & |\Citealt{dRob98}| & Della Robbia 1998 \\ & |\Citealp{dRob98}| & Della Robbia, 1998 \\ & |\Citeauthor{dRob98}| & Della Robbia \end{tabular} \end{quote} These commands also exist in starred versions for full author names. \head{Citation aliasing} Sometimes one wants to refer to a reference with a special designation, rather than by the authors, i.e. as Paper~I, Paper~II. Such aliases can be defined and used, textual and/or parenthetical with: \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{lcl} |\defcitealias{jon90}{Paper~I}|\\ |\citetalias{jon90}| & $\Rightarrow$ & Paper~I\\ |\citepalias{jon90}| & $\Rightarrow$ & (Paper~I) \end{tabular} \end{quote} These citation commands function much like |\citet| and |\citep|: they may take multiple keys in the argument, may contain notes, and are marked as hyperlinks. \head{Selecting citation style and punctuation} Use the command |\bibpunct| with one optional and 6 mandatory arguments: \begin{enumerate} \item the opening bracket symbol, default = ( \item the closing bracket symbol, default = ) \item the punctuation between multiple citations, default = ; \item the letter `n' for numerical style, or `s' for numerical superscript style, any other letter for author--year, default = author--year; \item the punctuation that comes between the author names and the year \item the punctuation that comes between years or numbers when common author lists are suppressed (default = ,); \end{enumerate} The optional argument is the character preceding a post-note, default is a comma plus space. In redefining this character, one must include a space if one is wanted. Example~1, |\bibpunct{[}{]}{,}{a}{}{;}| changes the output of \begin{quote} |\citep{jon90,jon91,jam92}| \end{quote} into [Jones et al. 1990; 1991, James et al. 1992]. Example~2, |\bibpunct[; ]{(}{)}{,}{a}{}{;}| changes the output of \begin{quote} |\citep[and references therein]{jon90}| \end{quote} into (Jones et al. 1990; and references therein). \head{Other formatting options} Redefine |\bibsection| to the desired sectioning command for introducing the list of references. This is normally |\section*| or |\chapter*|. Define |\bibpreamble| to be any text that is to be printed after the heading but before the actual list of references. Define |\bibfont| to be a font declaration, e.g.\ |\small| to apply to the list of references. Define |\citenumfont| to be a font declaration or command like |\itshape| or |\textit|. Redefine |\bibnumfmt| as a command with an argument to format the numbers in the list of references. The default definition is |[#1]|. The indentation after the first line of each reference is given by |\bibhang|; change this with the |\setlength| command. The vertical spacing between references is set by |\bibsep|; change this with the |\setlength| command. \head{Automatic indexing of citations} If one wishes to have the citations entered in the \texttt{.idx} indexing file, it is only necessary to issue |\citeindextrue| at any point in the document. All following |\cite| commands, of all variations, then insert the corresponding entry to that file. With |\citeindexfalse|, these entries will no longer be made. \head{Use with \texttt{chapterbib} package} The \thestyle\ package is compatible with the \texttt{chapterbib} package which makes it possible to have several bibliographies in one document. The package makes use of the |\include| command, and each |\include|d file has its own bibliography. The order in which the \texttt{chapterbib} and \thestyle\ packages are loaded is unimportant. The \texttt{chapterbib} package provides an option \texttt{sectionbib} that puts the bibliography in a |\section*| instead of |\chapter*|, something that makes sense if there is a bibliography in each chapter. This option will not work when \thestyle\ is also loaded; instead, add the option to \thestyle. Every |\include|d file must contain its own |\bibliography| command where the bibliography is to appear. The database files listed as arguments to this command can be different in each file, of course. However, what is not so obvious, is that each file must also contain a |\bibliographystyle| command, \emph{preferably with the same style argument}. \head{Sorting and compressing citations} Do not use the \texttt{cite} package with \thestyle; rather use one of the options \texttt{sort}, \texttt{compress}, or \texttt{sort\&compress}. These also work with author--year citations, making multiple citations appear in their order in the reference list. \head{Long author list on first citation} Use option \texttt{longnamesfirst} to have first citation automatically give the full list of authors. Suppress this for certain citations with |\shortcites{|\emph{key-list}|}|, given before the first citation. \head{Local configuration} Any local recoding or definitions can be put in \thestyle\texttt{.cfg} which is read in after the main package file. \head{Options that can be added to \texttt{\char`\\ usepackage}} \begin{description} \item[\ttfamily round] (default) for round parentheses; \item[\ttfamily square] for square brackets; \item[\ttfamily curly] for curly braces; \item[\ttfamily angle] for angle brackets; \item[\ttfamily colon] (default) to separate multiple citations with colons; \item[\ttfamily comma] to use commas as separaters; \item[\ttfamily authoryear] (default) for author--year citations; \item[\ttfamily numbers] for numerical citations; \item[\ttfamily super] for superscripted numerical citations, as in \textsl{Nature}; \item[\ttfamily sort] orders multiple citations into the sequence in which they appear in the list of references; \item[\ttfamily sort\&compress] as \texttt{sort} but in addition multiple numerical citations are compressed if possible (as 3--6, 15); \item[\ttfamily compress] to compress without sorting, so compression only occurs when the given citations would produce an ascending sequence of numbers; \item[\ttfamily longnamesfirst] makes the first citation of any reference the equivalent of the starred variant (full author list) and subsequent citations normal (abbreviated list); \item[\ttfamily sectionbib] redefines |\thebibliography| to issue |\section*| instead of |\chapter*|; valid only for classes with a |\chapter| command; to be used with the \texttt{chapterbib} package; \item[\ttfamily nonamebreak] keeps all the authors' names in a citation on one line; causes overfull hboxes but helps with some \texttt{hyperref} problems. \end{description} \end{document} %% %% End of Reference Sheet file %% %% %% End of file `natnotes'.
