Ref. Style using 1. I. Newton... instead of [1] I. Newton...

Post by nirmana »

System: texlive 2009 on Ubuntu 10.04

I used 'latex makebst' to generate my own .bst file... bloody journal is very particular. Everything looks great style-wise, apart from the listing in the reference section. At the moment it reads, as most style packages:

References
[1] I. Newton, ...

I need it to read:

References
1. I. Newton, ...

I have not come across any style packages that make such a change and I am unclear, which line in the .bst file to modify...
My guess is the easiest fix is to modify the .bst file... any suggestion on, which function controls this aspect?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much... wonderful fix
I actually ended up using:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{$#1.$}
\makeatother

There is an error message without using the '$' around the '#'

Ciao
