General ⇒ humannat and webpages/url and custom bibdesk types

[Mixhael]

I'm using the humannat style, however it doesn't seem to support the webpage/url type.

Is there a way to modify the style so it will display it correctly?

Also: I tried creating a custom type in bibdesk called 'newsarticle' for newspaper-article, with the fields author, year, month, day, title and newspaper. Is there a way to modify humannat to use this as well?

Please, find attached the file humannaturl.bst.tex. Download it and remove the tex suffix. This kind of renaming is only a trick to be able to upload it (this forum does not admit files with a bst suffix). Well, humannaturl.bst is the result of applying the Perl script urlbst to humannat.bst. Specifically, I have used the following command in a console:

Code: Select all

$ ./urlbst --doi --hyperref humannat.bst humannaturl.bst

Put humannaturl.bst in a folder where TeX can find it, replace humannat by humannaturl in your \bibliographystyle command, and try it. This new style should support new fields url and doi in every entry (@article, @book, @inproceedings...) It also supports a new entry type called @webpage, whose required fields are title and url, whereas the optional fields are author, editor (or maintainer of the webpage), note, year, month and lastchecked. If you load hyperref, url's and doi's turn into live hyperlinks in the pdf file.

I cannot help you with your second question.

Thanks alot! However, I'm getting some error using it and I think it has to do with an incompatability with natbib?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry}
\citestyle{chicago}
\usepackage{palatcm}

\bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}

\begin{document}
\title{\textbf{title}}
\author{john}
\date{\today}

\maketitle

\cite{South-Africa:hl}

\bibliographystyle{humannaturl}

\bibliography{../../../tex/Bibliografie}

\end{document}

error:

Package natbib Warning: Citation `South-Africa:hl' on page 2 undefined on input
line 34.

(./test.bbl
! Undefined control sequence.

The problem is that the \url command is undefined. Add \usepackage{url} to the preamble. You may also want to have hyperlinks. In such a case, load instead the hyperref package.

thanks, that did the trick. However, the output is not really consistent with how humannat formats bibliographies:

the output is now:

Code: Select all

Pro Poor Tourism Pilots 
. Alexandra township, johannesburg, south africa [online]. (2008). Available from: http: 
//www.pptpilot.org.za/Alexandra_Township.pdf [cited 13 september 2008]. 

while it should be some thing like:

Code: Select all

Pro Poor Tourism Pilots 
    2008.    Alexandra township, johannesburg, south africa. Available from: http: 
//www.pptpilot.org.za/Alexandra_Township.pdf (cited 13 september 2008). 

- year in front
- (/) instead of [/]

I've done some hacks in humannaturl.bst. Try it again. Remember to rename the attached file after download.
