Re: BibTeX style formatting not working

Hi,

thanks for looking at that snippet, to assure it looks correct.
I made some more tests myself and found out, that the fields 'archivePrefix' and 'primaryClass' were not defined at the beginning of the bst file (because I had no idea that this is required). By doing so, I got it to work ...

BibTeX style formatting not working

Hi,

I have tried to do some bibtex formatting myself, but without much of success. However, as far as I understood, the following below should give a well-formatted string as output (with format.eprint, using the fields eprint, archivePrefix and primaryClass). But when I run bibtex on my file, it ...

Re: How to print the citation key within the bib output

yes, I made some changes to that file, but I do not know what changes I need to make in order to have the citation key given as well in a citation.

Do you know how to do that or what I need to put into the bst file???

Thanks

How to print the citation key within the bib output

Hi,



If I understand you correctly, you want to print the citation key for all inline citations, right?

Yes, I think that is right


You could load natbib and use its features just for that.

You could still use your own .bst-file/bibliography-style for your bibliography.

Hm, sure, that ...

Re: How to print the citation key within the bib output

Hi,

I managed to take a standard bst file and to make some other changes to that file. I rather do not want to use a new package, to avoid looking into that issue and start all over again.
Is there no other simple way to have the citation key printed in the reference without natbib?

Thanks

How to print the citation key within the bib output

Hi,

is there a way I can print the citation key as part of the output of a citation? For example, if my bib entry is something like:
@ARTICLE{Dey2001,
author = {A. K. Dey},
title = {Understanding and Using Context},
journal = {Personal Ubiquitous Computing},
year = {2001},
volume = {5 ...

Re: Selecting font does not work

BTW,

the simple example on choosing Helvetica worked! (And was the most useful reply so far to my question of how to select a font in Latex).

But is Helvetica the only font I can chose? Are there more? What do they look like? Is there a list? Can I create my own list? Does this depend on the ...

Re: Selecting font does not work

Never mind,

I think I will use openoffice when I am going to use a choice of fonts.

I really did not anticipate that choosing a font in latex is significantly more complicated than installing a new operating system on a laptop...

Selecting font does not work

Hi,

I tried to select a different font in a Latex document the way it is described in the following document:

http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/doc/fntguide.pdf

So I inserted the following two lines in my latex document:


\fontfamily{cmm}
\selectfont

in which I replaced cmm with phv, or pcr ...
