BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ numeric labels in the bibliography list

[chzch]

I am writing my thesis in latex and using biometrics bibliography style. My supervisor asked me to add numeric labels in the bibliography list. Can somebody tell me how to modify the biometrics.bst file? Thanks.

it's possible to modify any bst file, could you upload the bst file you want to modify.

This is only an idea. Do a backup of the original file an modify FUNCTION {output.bibitem} as follows.

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
  "\bibitem{" write$
  cite$ write$
  "}" write$
  newline$
  ""
  before.all 'output.state :=
}

These lines are only copied from plain.bst which has numbered labels for the bibliography items as output. Since I didn't test that, a report about success would be nice.
