Inline bibliography style
I want to have by BiBTeX generated references inlined in footnotes
rather than the very terse references BiBTeX generates by default, so
I hacked together a BiBTeX style to do that. These macros are not
polished or in the form of a proper distribution, but I have used them
with succes myself.
The following discription have been made in haste. I will document it
better when I have the time (RSN :-).
There are two files: [1]inlinebib.sty and [2]indexing.bst.
The idea
This works just like any other BiBTeX style. It will still generate
the bibliography at the end of the document, but it will also store
all the entries in the .aux files, so they can be inlined in the
following latex run.
The first time a citation is made using \cite the complete
bibliography entry is inserted. The following citations to the same
entry will generate a short form, with only authors last name and a
shortened title, followed by a "cit.". If the same bibliography entry
is cited several times in a row, the text will only be "ibid.".
Citations of this form are designed to be used in footnotes.
A little example migth be appropriate (don't we all love
screenshots!).
Footnotes from page one:
[Example 1]
Footnotes from page two:
[Example 2]
(the overstrike problem is courtesy of xdvi(1))
It is not possible to avoid having the complete bibliography at the
end of the document. The macros simply won't work without it. If you
don't need it, just don't print it.
Usage
Formalities
To use these macros put the file inlinebib.sty in your LaTeX search
path and inlinebib.bst in your BiBTeX style search path and then put
the line:
\usepackage{inlinebib}
in the preamble of your document.
Other commands have to be added at the point where you want the
bibliography to appear, usually at the end of the document. To tell
BiBTeX to use the inlinebib style, you have to use bibliographystyle:
\bibliographystyle{inlinebib}
Often I add a leading explanation to the bibliography with the
\bibliographycomment macro. That is:
\bibliographycomment{This bibliography ...}
The actual index is produced by the \bibliography macro. Here you have
to specify which BiBTeX databases you want to use.
\bibliography{file ...}
These were all the formalities.
Doing citations
When writing, just make citations as usual. Remember that these macros
can produce very verbose references, and they are intended for
footnotes.
The default implementation of \cite allows several bibliography
entries to be cited. This version allows only one at a time. It still
supports the optional argument, which should be a page reference
within the cited text.
There are a few additional macros available. \fullycite forces a
reference in the long form, \shortcite forces the short form, and
\noibid disables the generation "ibid." references for the next
citation (this can for example be used at the end of each chapter).
To force later citations for certain entries to be either long or
short, the macros \fullcitenext{} and \shortcitenext{} can be used.
The single argument is a comma separated list of BiBTeX labels that
should be either long or short the next time they are cited. E.g., the
code \fullcitenext{book1, book2} will cause LaTeX to forget that the
two references might have been seen earlier and they will be handled
as if they haven't be cited yet.
The BiBTeX databases
This style does not require special changes to the BiBTeX databases.
Sometimes the BiBTeX style doesn't manage to calculate the proper
short forms of the author and the title. In that case the BiBTeX
entries in question can be extended with shortauthor = {shorter author
name} and shorttitle = {short form of title}.
Tips and tricks
I have some macros to format page ranges, that I use with this BiBTeX
style. They should be usable with other styles as well.
The macros are here: [3]pageranges.sty
This file defined one user visible macro: \pages{}, which will do the
following transformations of the single argument:
\pages{N}
becomes: p.~N
\pages{N-}
becomes: pp.~N~ff
\pages{N-M}
becomes: pp.~N--M
\pages{N M}
becomes: pp.~N M
The last version is for cases like \pages{213, 345 and~654} which will
become pp.~213, 345 and~654.
I often have this little definition in a LaTeX style file. It makes
\cite do page ranges automatically and also puts the author in the
index (see [4]the indexing macros).
%% Automatically fix page ranges in citations and index author
\let\RS@citex\@citex
\def\@citex[#1]#2{\I@indexonly-{#2}\RS@citex[\pages{#1}]{#2}}
