Text Formatting ⇒ Bibliography style

[bkarpuz]

Dear friends,

I want to remove the tag [n] in thebibliography and need to start the first line of each item with a horizontal paragraph space (I guess it is \indent).

Thanks.

Start your bibliography as a normal chapter and write your entries as single paragraphs or use a custom list environment.


Best regards
Thorsten

Thanks, but I now saw that I wrote it wrong :$
The first line starts with \noindent but the following lines of the item will have \indent in the beginning of the lines.
I think the description item will work for it.
Isn't it possible to modify the Bibliography in this style?

Thanks.

Sure. Finally the thebibliography environment is nothing more than a list. You can find its declaration in the source code of your document class. But defining a new environment based on a list seems less difficult to me. Just follow the link in my last reply. There you'll find all necessary information to set up a list.

I am very sorry for bothering again you with this topic.
I do now know much about latex structure.
I need to set my references in the following form

Agarwal, Ravi P. 1992. Difference equations and inequalities, 155. Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York.

and

Agarwal, Ravi P.; Wong, Patricia J. Y. 1997. Existence of solutions for singular boundary problems for higher order differential equations. Rend. Sem. Mat. Fis. Milano 65, 249--264.

and when I call them by \cite, I need them to be shown as below

(Agarwal, 1992)

and

(Agarwal, Ravi P.; Wong, Patricia J. Y., 1997)

I have seen that

Code: Select all

\usepackage[dcucite]{harvard}

makes similar job, but I cant get out put when I make a bib file and compile the tex file by clicking latex->dvi2ps->ps2pdf.

Please help me, I want to learn it.
Thanks.

The following code solved my problem,
I wish to share it because one may find it useful.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{harvard}

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{99}

\harvarditem{Bohner and Peterson}{2001}{MR1843232}
\newblock Bohner, M. and Peterson, A. 2001,
\newblock \textquotedblleft \href{http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~cct/sample_book.pdf}{Dynamic Equations on Time Scales: An Introduc-}\linebreak\href{http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~cct/sample_book.pdf}{tion with Applications}\textquotedblright,
\newblock Birkh\"{a}user Boston Inc., Boston, USA.

\end{thebibliography}

You have the following look in the references:

ref.jpg (18.66 KiB) Viewed 3875 times

When you call this reference by using

Code: Select all

\cite{MR1843232}

you get the following output:

bohnerpeterson.jpg (6.92 KiB) Viewed 3875 times

Probably this is something well-known but it took some time for me to figure it out.
