I'm looking for a way to define new BibTeX style or to customize existing one. I have two reasons for this:
- I want the author names/editors to be italic (for articles in book, book, magazines, encyclopedia etc)
- I want numbers at the beginning
Example:
- Secondname, B. Book title. Place Year. Site number.
- Article author, A. Article title. In: Book author, B, Book title,
Place Year, site number.
Any suggestions?
P.S.: The OS is Ubuntu.
I'd recommend biblatex. It's not included yet with most TeX distributions at the authors request, but it is completely usable and very well documented. I think it will be less painful to use to get what you want, and also a better investment for the future as I think biblatex will quickly become the favored standard once it has it's 1.0 release.
I've used latex makebst
to generate new one :)
You can try custom-bib :
This is the custom-bib package for generating customized BibTeX bibliography
styles from a generic file by means of the docstrip program that is part of
the LaTeX2e installation.
Find a standard bibtex stylesheet for your citation style: IEEE, ACM, MLA, specific journal, etc.
What style are you trying to conform to?
