Hi, I was recently having an issue with tweaking the output of personalised references in my bibliography. I eventually had to use the MAKEBST or cutom-bib programme to make my own style. However now that i've finally have them the way I want them, for some reason, in the main body of the document when i run it, instead of my reference links in the main body of text looking like [1, 2, 4] they look like this: (1; 2; 4)
If it's important, I was initially using the unsrt.bst style because that's the way I need to list them in my thesis.
Any ideas? If anyone has used this MAKEBST to make their own, perhaps as I go through the long list of options, I might not be selecting the correct option. I've tried quite a few different things, but can't seem to get it to change back to [1, 2, 4]. OR if you know where to change this in the code itself, great!
Any/all help appreciated!
Ricky

Re: ~\cite{input} giving (1; 2; 4) instead of [1, 2, 4]
Sorry folks... I've just figured it out on my own, but just in case someone searches for this same issue, here's how I sorted it out:
The citations in the main body were being displayed as (1; 2; 4) instead of what I wanted: [1, 2, 4]. I only just realised that if I added:
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
into my preamble and changed it to:
\bibpunct{[}{]}{,}{a}{,}{,}
I got EXACTLY what I needed! Hope this helps someone else in the future!
