[FIXED] Inlinebib with other .bst, e.g. custom-bib

Post by monamipierrot »

[Fixed - discarded *bib packages and installed BibLateX package which does everything I expect and MUCH MORE - I leave this for future generations]

I'm writing a thesis in humanities (history of music) in italian and I need to use some custom bibliograohy style, as a custom-bib--generated .bst file, WITH in-text "latinitates" and shortened-references of inlinebib package.

I just tried to roughly substitute the inlinebib.bst file with MyStyle.bst generated with custom-bib (which is almost perfect for me and support italian text), but inlinebib can't find it's short-reference functions so it just output "?" in in-text citations (along with a perfect MyStyle bibliography at the end).

So I tried to modify MyStyle.bst cut&pasting (from the inlinebib.bst file) all inlinebib-specific functions (all of them about in-text citations), trying to respect dependencies.
(The other way was to nodify the inlinebib.bst file but this was far beyond my knowledges)
I also added a

Code: Select all

 format.shortref 
at the end of each reference-type function (book, article and so on) just as in inlinebib.bst.... (still don't understand how it should work, but I did it).
I don't know anything about .bst files so perhpas I did spmething wrong: LaTeX now tell me of a "undefined control sequence" for command "\short", one for each in-text citation.
I can't understand which is the problem but I'm sure it would be quite easy to fix for a .bst expert.
And a lot of humanities students and scholars from europe (as I am) would thank him for a lifetime!
