An apacite customization experience

Post by mturan »

To share my experience and save valuable hours of some of you guys, here it goes.

I wanted to use apacite in my document however it didn't have the language support of my own language. Therefore I started to dig in the apacite.sty file and found where all the definitions that appear in the references and citations. Happily I made a couple of changes to see what it will produce. It worked on my laptop. Here comes the problem. When I carried all associated files (apa.sty,apacite.bst, apacite.sty) in to my netbook that I use very often. But when I compiled my document, no matter how many times I tried, there was no trace of change in all description I previously made. Desperately looking for solutions, digging into apacite.pdf and the forum, finally I found that there is a english.apc file that overrides all descriptions with renewcommand. I made changes on that file and kept it in the same directory of my project. Then I was able to see the required changes. I emailed Thorsten about that but he recommended that I share with other people of the community. Solution came early without posting the problem.

Double appearance of ``References`` in TOC was prevented by \userpackage[notocbib]{apacite}

This is an example of changes in the apacite.sty without solution, therefore you may want to make some changes in xxxx.apc file of you language

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\BPhD}{Doctoral dissertation}
%% Default unpublished PhD thesis type name.
\newcommand{\BUPhD}{Basılmamış Doktora Tezi}
