<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label BibTeXing</title>
</head><body>
<h3>BibTeX Documentation</h3>
<p>BibTeX, a program originally designed to produce bibliographies in
conjunction with LaTeX, is explained in Section 4.3 and Appendix B
of Leslie Lamport’s LaTeX manual
(see <a href="FAQ-books.html">TeX-related books</a>).
The document “BibTeXing”, contained in the file <i>btxdoc.tex</i>,
expands on the chapter in Lamport’s book. <em>The LaTeX Companion</em>
(see <a href="FAQ-books.html">TeX-related books</a>) also
has information on BibTeX and writing BibTeX style files.
<p>The document “Designing BibTeX Styles”, contained in the file
<code>btxhak.tex</code>, explains the postfix stack-based language used to write
BibTeX styles (<code>.bst</code> files). The file <code>btxbst.doc</code> is the template
for the four standard styles (<code>plain</code>, <code>abbrv</code>, <code>alpha</code>, <code>unsrt</code>). It
also contains their documentation.
The complete BibTeX documentation set (including the files above)
is available on CTAN.
<p>A useful tutorial of the whole process of using BibTeX is Nicolas
Markey’s “<em>Tame the BeaST (The B to X of BibTeX)</em>”, which
may also be found on CTAN.
