<TITLE>René Seindal - Software - Inline bibliography style</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B" alink="#FF0000">
<H1 align=center>Inline bibliography style</H1>
<P>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.</P>
<P>The following discription have been made in haste. I will document
it better when I have the time (RSN :-).</P>
<P>There are two files: <A HREF="inlinebib.sty">inlinebib.sty</A> and <A HREF="inlinebib.bst">indexing.bst</A>.</P>
<H2>The idea</H2>
<P>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 <CODE>.aux</CODE> files, so they can be inlined in
the following <CODE>latex</CODE> run.</P>
<P>The first time a citation is made using <CODE>\cite</CODE> 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 "<I>cit.</I>". If the same bibliography
entry is cited several times in a row, the text will only be
"<I>ibid.</I>".</P>
<P>Citations of this form are designed to be used in footnotes.</P>
<P>A little example migth be appropriate (don't we all love
screenshots!).</P>
<P><TABLE border=2 cellpadding=3>
<TR>
<TD>
<P>Footnotes from page one:</P>
<IMG SRC="inlinebib1.gif" ALT="[Example 1]">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
<P>Footnotes from page two:</P>
<IMG SRC="inlinebib2.gif" ALT="[Example 2]">
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<FONT SIZE="-1">(the overstrike problem is courtesy of xdvi(1))</FONT>
</P>
<P>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.</P>
<H2>Usage</H2>
<H3>Formalities</H3>
<P>To use these macros put the file <CODE>inlinebib.sty</CODE> in your
LaTeX search path and <CODE>inlinebib.bst</CODE> in your BiBTeX style
search path and then put the line:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<PRE>\usepackage{inlinebib}</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>in the preamble of your document.</P>
<P>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 <I>inlinebib</I> style, you have to use
<CODE>bibliographystyle</CODE>:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<PRE>
\bibliographystyle{inlinebib}
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Often I add a leading explanation to the bibliography with the
<CODE>\bibliographycomment</CODE> macro. That is:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<PRE>
\bibliographycomment{This bibliography ...}
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>The actual index is produced by the <CODE>\bibliography</CODE>
macro. Here you have to specify which BiBTeX databases you want to use.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<PRE>
\bibliography{file ...}
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>These were all the formalities.</P>
<H3>Doing citations</H3>
<P>When writing, just make citations as usual. Remember that these
macros can produce very verbose references, and they are intended for
footnotes.</P>
<P>The default implementation of <CODE>\cite</CODE> 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.</P>
<P>There are a few additional macros available. <CODE>\fullycite</CODE>
forces a reference in the long form, <CODE>\shortcite</CODE> forces
the short form, and <CODE>\noibid</CODE> disables the generation
"<I>ibid.</I>" references for the next citation (this can for example be
used at the end of each chapter).</P>
<P>To force later citations for certain entries to be either long or
short, the macros <CODE>\fullcitenext{}</CODE> and
<CODE>\shortcitenext{}</CODE> 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
<CITE>\fullcitenext{book1, book2}</CITE> 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.</P>
<H3>The BiBTeX databases</H3>
<P>This style does not require special changes to the BiBTeX
databases.</P>
<P>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 <CODE>shortauthor = {<I>shorter
author name</I>}</CODE> and <CODE>shorttitle = {<I>short form of
title</I>}</CODE>.</P>
<H2>Tips and tricks</H2>
<P>I have some macros to format page ranges, that I use with this BiBTeX
style. They should be usable with other styles as well.</P>
<P>The macros are here: <A HREF="pageranges.sty">pageranges.sty</A></P>
<P>This file defined one user visible macro: <CODE>\pages{}</CODE>,
which will do the following transformations of the single argument:</P>
<DL>
<DT><CODE>\pages{N}</CODE>
<DD>becomes: <CODE>p.~N</CODE>
<DT><CODE>\pages{N-}</CODE>
<DD>becomes: <CODE>pp.~N~ff</CODE>
<DT><CODE>\pages{N-M}</CODE>
<DD>becomes: <CODE>pp.~N--M</CODE>
<DT><CODE>\pages{N M}</CODE>
<DD>becomes: <CODE>pp.~N M</CODE>
</DL>
<P>The last version is for cases like <CODE>\pages{213, 345
and~654}</CODE> which will become <CODE>pp.~213, 345 and~654</CODE>.</P>
<P>I often have this little definition in a LaTeX style file. It makes
<CODE>\cite</CODE> do page ranges automatically and also puts the author
in the index (see <A HREF="indexing.htm">the indexing macros</A>).</P>
