General ⇒ bibliography in a footnote?

[Stephy]

hi everybody,

I'm a beginner in latex world, I use texshop and bibdesk with macOSX
I do not have problem to do my bibliography and I have it at the end of in my document without trouble
but I was wondering if it's possible to have the bibliography as a footnote each time a reference is cited in the text...
it would give smthg like:

(pdf document)
bla bla bla bla bla [X] bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla{XX}
bla bla bla


-------------------- (end of the page)
[X} referenceX as in bibliography.bib
[XX] referenceXX as in bibliography.bib


does anybody know if it's possible?
I heard about jurabib, footbib, but I couldn't find a right answer...

any suggestion is more than welcome!!!

thank's

Steph

Just try the footbib package.

thank's! I guess yes it's the right thing to do but unfortunately I get an error message:
"the output routine of LaTeX changed since the current version of 'footbib'. The 'footbib' patches this routines, it may produces unexpected results. Send a mail to Eric.Domenjoud@loria.fr to get a new version"

so that's what I have just done

let's see what's happening next...

thank's again I will let u know if I receive some news

hi everyone


I just wanted to let u know that as expected I had to use a new package of footbib (kindly sent by Eric D.) and I have to execute : bibtex<mydocument>.fb to make it works....
the thing is that..I dunno how to do it:
first I'm not sure about this doc.fb file, when I execute latex with mydocument file I have a lot of files generated like mydocument.bbl, mydocument.blg, mydocument.log, mydocument.fb.aux so I dunno if mydocument.fb.aux is the same than mydocument.fb (the document I'm supposed to use with the bibtex command)
second, even trying to bibtex<mydocument>.fb.aux I just cant: when I open this file the command typset is not available..so I just can open it but I cant do anything else...(I work with Texshop with macOSX)

so if someone has an idea how to do it....I would appreciate a lot!

thank's
