# Windy City

## About

Windy City is a style for [biblatex](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex
"biblatex") that formats notes, bibliographies, parenthetical
citations, and reference lists according to the 17th edition of [The
Chicago Manual of Style](http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/ "Chicago
Manual of Style"). It accurately handles a wide range of citations and
includes a set of options and commands to support special
circumstances. It also has extensive support for citing and arranging
different kinds of editors, translators, and compilers within a single
citation. These features make Windy City especially suitable for
academic work.

Windy City's latest release is available on
[CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/windycity "CTAN: pkg/windycity"), the
[Comprehensive TeX Archive Network](https://www.ctan.org "CTAN"). It
includes a PDF of the [user
guide](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/windycity/doc/windycity.pdf
"windycity.pdf"). More recent changes are available at Windy City's
[repository on GitHub](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity
"GitHub: brianchase/windycity").

## Getting Started

If you already know how to use
[biblatex](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex "biblatex"), getting
started with Windy City is easy. Locate
[biblatex](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex "biblatex") on your
system, and copy Windy City's files into their respective directories:

* .../biblatex/[windycity.dbx](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity/blob/master/windycity.dbx "windycity.dbx")
* .../biblatex/bbx/[windycity.bbx](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity/blob/master/bbx/windycity.bbx "windycity.bbx")
* .../biblatex/cbx/[windycity.cbx](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity/blob/master/cbx/windycity.cbx "windycity.cbx")
* .../biblatex/lbx/[american-windycity.lbx](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity/blob/master/lbx/american-windycity.lbx "american-windycity.lbx")

Next, tell [biblatex](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex "biblatex") to
load Windy City with the load-time option `style`:

```
\usepackage[style=windycity]{biblatex}
```

For some entries in your bibliography database, you may need to add
fields or make other adjustments to get the right output. However,
since Windy City relies as much as possible on standard BibTeX fields,
and secondarily on [biblatex](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex
"biblatex") fields, you may not need to make major changes. The
examples in this document and its accompanying bibliography database,
[windycity.bib](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity/blob/master/doc/windycity.bib
"windycity.bib"), should serve as a guide for how to manage your input
for nearly every circumstance that the style is meant to handle.
