General ⇒ annotated humannat style

[Mixhael]

I need humannat for my bibliography style (cultural anthropology) and for my next assignment I have to create an annotated bibliography. Is there a modified humannat style that supports this?

Regards

sorry, to bump this, but... anyone?

I need this functionality badly, since my assignment is due next week. Any directions otherwise to add this myself in de .bst file?

I've found several styles that could be useful for creating annotated bibliographies. In TeX Live (so surely in MikTeX), one can directly use the styles annotation and chicagoa (and perhaps other). From this web page, you can download the styles plain-annote, apsr-annote and and additional variant. You can also try IEEEannot. Surely, a good web search may point to more styles.

If you are happy with humannat and you haven't used the note field in any register, you may follow a different approach. Write the annotations in the note field, preceded by \BeginAnnote and \EndAnnote. So, you may have a register like this one:

Code: Select all

@book{Smith02008,
   author =    {Smith, John},
   title =     {\LaTeX{} made easy},
   publisher = {Imagine Publishing Co.},
   year =      2008,
   note={\BeginAnnote This interesting book bridges the gap that, for many 
         years, has existed between... \EndAnnote}
}

Then, add to the tex file suitable definitions of \BeginAnnote and \EndAnnote to format annotations. For example:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\BeginAnnote}{\par\quote\textsc{Annotation}:\enskip}
\newcommand{\EndAnnote}{\endquote}

Hope this helps.
