BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Change needed individual bibliography style with custom-bib

[daena]

Hello,

I just started working with Latex and was already very proud when I managed to create my own bibliography style with custom-bib. Now I noticed that I need a formatting which is not considered in custom-bib so I tried to change the code manually, but it did not quite work out.

What my bibliography should look like:

For @Incollection:
Authors (Year): Title. In: Editors (Ed.) (Year): Collection-title, Publisher, Pages

Right now my bibliography looks like this:
Authors (Year): Title. In: Editors (Ed.) Collection-title, Publisher, Pages

So as you can see, the second block "(Year):" is missing and I don't manage to include it into the code.

This is what the code looks like right now:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {format.in.ed.booktitle}
{ format.booktitle duplicate$ empty$ 'skip$
    {
      format.bvolume duplicate$ empty$ 'pop$
        { ", " swap$ * * }
      if$
      editor "editor" format.names.ed duplicate$ empty$ 'pop$
        {
          " " *
          get.bbl.editor
          capitalize
          "(" swap$ * ") " *
          * swap$
          * }
      if$
      word.in swap$ *
    }
  if$
}

and

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {incollection}
{ output.bibitem
  format.authors "author" output.check
  author format.key output
  format.date "year" output.check
  date.block
  format.title "title" output.check
  new.sentence
  crossref missing$
    { format.in.ed.booktitle "booktitle" output.check
      format.publisher.address output
      format.number.series output
      format.chapter.pages output
      format.edition output
    }
    { format.incoll.inproc.crossref output.nonnull
      format.chapter.pages output
    }
  if$
  format.pages "pages" output.check
  format.note output
  fin.entry
}

So I will very much appreciate if someone could help me out.

Thank you in advance,

yours Daena!

You may take a look at the biblatex package. Although in beta state, it is quite reliable and has recently been incorporated into the MiKTeX 2.8 distribution.
