References to bibliography.

Post by shmill »

How to make Latex refer to articles from my bibliography using letters and simbols (for example, [SHM:2008]) instead of index number in the bibliography list. I am using BiBtex. It should not be difficult but I cant find any info.
Thanks a lot!

Sorry, isn't it clear question? I just need refer to articles not like [4], but like [SHM:2008].
Thanks for the help!

In your tex file you should have two lines like

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
Just change the bib style:

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
There are other bib styles, in addition to alpha, providing the format you search. Take also a look to the natbib package.

Thanks, it works!
This stile is also nice:
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
