BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Changing h-physref3.bst

[bluebananna]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to latex and have a question regarding changes to h-physref3.bst. I use natbib combined with chapterbib for me references. I have chosen said .bst file to format the references but now need to change them so all authors are displayed in the bibliography instead of et al. beyond a certain number. Can anyone help me on how to change the .bst file (which I think is what I need to do) to allow for this?

Thanks!

Hi, using bibtex is kind of not recommended anymore. If you are open minded, choose biblatex in conjunction with biber instead. Customizing the bibliography or citations is much easier this way.

If you can't figure out how to change the biblatex style yourself, please prepare a minimal working example to give a precise example.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. My thesis is finished and I am just doing minor corrections so I'm not brave enough to change how I use references for now. But I promise to use the recommended system in the future.

For now here is the content of the h-phyrev3.bst file. I'm sure somewhere in there it determines after how many authors it changes to et al. I would like to have this a very large number (say 99).

I am grateful for any help!
Thanks!
