List BibTeX Entries as Stanza in Description Environment

Post by ougka »

Hello all,

I want to list my bibtex entries in a \begin{description} stanza. So I do something like the following :

Code: Select all

\begin{description} \itemsep8pt
\item [P1:] \bibitem{P1_PGNET_compsci1501} Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
\newblock {How to be more funny}.
\newblock In {\em World Disney Club}, UK, September 2011.
\end{description}
But instead of seeing the bibtex entry next to P1 I see it below and also misaligned (see below).

How can I fix that ?

Just drop the \bibitem command if you just want to stay with a simple list. Alternatively you can use the common thebibliography environment with slight modification to the item label.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\makeatletter
\def\@biblabel#1{\textbf{#1}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
  \begin{thebibliography}{999}
    \bibitem[P1:]{key} Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
      \newblock {How to be more funny}.
      \newblock In \emph{World Disney Club}, UK, September 2011.
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
And by the way, don't use obsolete LaTeX2.09 syntax like \em for font styles. Use the LaTeX2e equivalent \emph{…} instead.
