General ⇒ Jurabib and order of bibliography items

[meho_r]

Hi,

Using jurabib and some options like citefull=all, ibidem, super I managed to shape references according to the rules of universities in our country. However, still remains this:

1. I need bibliography items (is there a better term?) sorted in exactly this pattern:

Code: Select all

Author, Title, Publisher, Address, year.

So, all elements must be separated by comma (no periods, colons etc.), and have a period at the end, as noted.

2. Also, in the "Bibliography" section, they should appear exactly like this:

Code: Select all

number. Author, Title, Publisher, Address, year.

In both cases only the title is italic, all other items are in "normal text". Please note that after the number and the author in Bibliography there shouldn't be more space than single space (default is very large space).

3. How to make Books, Publications etc. appear as separate sections in Bibliography? It should be similar to section or subsection in the text.

Hi meho_r,

Some hints that could be useful:

...So, all elements must be separated by comma (no periods, colons etc.), and have a period at the end, as noted...

See page 18 of jurabib documentation (the \bibansep, \bibatsep and \bibbdsep commands).

...In both cases only the title is italic, all other items are in "normal text"...

Page 15 of the documentation (the \biblnfont,\bibelnfont,\bibfnfont,etc. commands).

Thanks. I did read the documentation, but still get this:

Code: Select all

Author, Title, Address: Publisher, year

Address and Publisher should be reversed and separated by comma, not colon.

And for the Bibliography, I used option bibformat={numbered} only and space after number is too large.

So still to be achieved:

1. Reverse Address and Publisher and separate them by comma,
2. Reduce the space after number in the Bibliography,
3. Put the period at the end of all bibliography items in the Bibliography,
4. Separate Books, Articles, Publications, URLs etc. in the Bibliography in their respective sections.

I'll attach test file (named "Bibliography.tex") and file containing bibliographic items (named: "Biblio.tex"; should be with .bib extension) used in the test file.

3. Put the period at the end of all bibliography items in the Bibliography

Use

Code: Select all

\usepackage[dotafter=bibentry]{jurabib}[/quote]
[quote="meho_r"]4. Separate Books, Articles, Publications, URLs etc. in the Bibliography in their respective sections.[/quote]
Maybe the [url=http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/bibtopic.html]bibtopic[/url] package can be useful. [b]Warning:[/b] I have never used it and I do not know if it is compatible with jurabib.

Thank you, gmedina

I tried it and now can confirm that bibtopic works nicely with jurabib (unless you name your file "Bibliography.tex" which, for some funny reason, makes a real mess when run latex ).

Well, it remains to reverse Address and Publisher and separate them by comma, and to reduce space between number and item in the Bibliography. I suspect that some low-level commands will be needed here which is above my level

Hi meho_r,

To separate Address and Publisher by a comma, use

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bpubaddr}{,}

As for the remaining issues, when I have a little extra time, I will try to find a solution. I do not promise anything, though .

If it is OK with you, I think that maybe the moderators would consider moving this topic to the subforum LaTeX -> Packages and Document Classes?
