Bibitem complex structure

Post by jantursky »

Is there any link, info or documentation how should be every entry in the \bibitem mentioned? For example
\bibitem{Misiak} A. Misiak. \ \textit{$n$-inner product spaces.} Math.Nachr. {\bf 140} (1989), 299--319.

\bibitem{WKG} R.A. Wibawa-Kusumah and H. Gunawan. \textit{Two equivalent $n$-norms on the space of $p$-summable sequences}. To appear in {\it Period. Math. Hungar}.

\bibitem{ksw} P. Kostyrko, T. \v{S}al\'{a}t and W. Wilczy\'nski, $\mathcal{I}$-convergence, \emph{Real Anal. Exchange} \textbf{26(2)} (2000-2001), 669--686.
This bibitems can contains many entries (author, authortype, editor, editortype, editorX, editorXtype, holder, bookauthor ...). From this three examples I can extract without problem maybe **numeric parts** and assume they belong to **pages** or section entry. But when I found many different methods of storing info about for example: authors, I'm quite undecided how should I write bibliography cutter to entries efficiently:
jean de la fontaine
Jean de la fontaine
Jean {de} la fontaine
jean {de} {la} fontaine
Jean {de} {la} fontaine
Jean De La Fontaine
jean De la Fontaine
Jean de La Fontaine
This is the case when \bibitem contains only one author, but there is also cases that it could contains even more. How could I logical extract bibliography entries? Is there anywhere complex structure mentioned?

I am not sure i understand the question. I would suggest to store your bibliographic information in a database in the BibTeX-format. You say which style to use, and LaTeX and an auxiliary Program (biber/bibtex) do the rest.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
