BiBTeX style ieeetr and missing entries in text

Post by ioctlvoid »

In the top of ieeetr.bst the following is listed:

Code: Select all

ENTRY
  { address
    author
    booktitle
    chapter
    edition
    editor
    howpublished
    institution
    journal
    key
    month
    note
    number
    organization
    pages
    publisher
    school
    series
    title
    type
    volume
    year
  }
  {}
  { label } 
Am I correct in assuming that these are the entries that are supported in the references? E.g. I'm supposed to be able to do:

Code: Select all

@book{testbook,
    Author = {The Author and The Second Author},
    Title = {The title},
    Chapter = {10},
    Pages = {100}
}
Right? But then why does not chapter, pages, and certain other fields show up?

I simply create the document with the binaries "pdflatex" and "bibtex", do I need to specify some special arguments for it to include all the entries? Why are certain entries omitted?

The style of the journal (IEEE Transactions, I think it is) does not list pages or chapter numbers for books (that is, for ENTIRE books). If you want to cite a chapter from a book, list it as an "inbook," "incollection," or "inproceedings" entry, not as a book. The "book" entry is for entire books.
