The bibliography

Post by Marek »

Hi,
by now I have used in my document the citation like below:
\thebibliography
...
\bibitem{...}
\bibitem{...}.

But now my task is to write the bibliography list suitable to the order of citing sequence. Is there any method to do so without using BibTeX which is far to much that I need (and, as I know, requires many changes in my long bibliography)?

I have found myself the solution:
If you have

\bibitem{label1} A.~Bcd: Review, 2008
\bibitem{label2} E.~Fgh: Paper, vol, 1891

transform each of items in the form:
@misc{label1,
note = "A.~Bcd: Review, 2008"}
@misc{label2,
note = "E.~Fgh: Paper, vol, 1891"}
then write the list as *.bib, then use it to read by BibTeX in a common way and forget about all the time which could be (was) lost on finding some modification of \thebibliography somewhere in the internet.
