BiBTeX Style Files

[Sassy Rabbit]

Has anyone perchance written or edited a BiBTeX style file for use with LaTeX?

I was trying to edit the nature file to get a specific format and I can't figure out what I need to change. I believe that the edit would be simple, I'd like the nature style to print a bibliography without italicized journal titles, but I haven't been able to figure out what controls this and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, trhere are two ways to make bib items.

I used following...

So, something like this makes italic:

{1}
\bibitem{ref}
FCKGW\emph{Win XP} Microsoft, October 2001

removing the "emph" will remove the italics.

Hmmm - I'm using endnote in conjunction with /cite{} to generate my bibliography. Maybe I wasn't particularly clear with what exactly I was looking for help with. The .bst file that I currently use is nature which is really close to the format that I would like, so I wanted to edit a copy of it to get the format I wanted. Any experience with that?

cite is the other way where you specify item by item (author, work, place, year, etc.) - I didn't use that one because it is lot of work. Sorry.

Actually that one seems a little more straightforward. If you use endnote, you can export bibtex files. Give unique labels to each reference and you just have to type /cite{label}, and the endnote file does the rest. Thanks for the response though, I do appreciate it.

so does the other way 🙂
note the \bibitem{ref}
it is referenced simply by:
\cite{ref}

also everything is stored in single file biblio.tex which is included on the end of document with:

\input{biblio.tex}

Ahh ok I gotcha, I have never written the biblio.tex document myself. Good to know there is another LaTeX person here though 🙂

I typically make a .bib file and include that with \bibliography{BibliographyFilename}{}. Then I use \bibliographystyle{blah} to pick a style (where blah is the style I want).
