CTAN update: BibTeX documentation and FAQ
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

The material below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: BibTeX documentation and FAQ Author's name: Michael Shell Location on CTAN: /biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/ Summary description: The standard BibTeX documentation and a FAQ in PDF format. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of a new BibTeX Tips and FAQ document on CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/ (as btxFAQ.pdf). Originally based on a 1998 post to comp.text.tex, Do we need a BibTeX FAQ? by David Hoadley, I've added a lot of material to cover the types of problems most frequently encountered by BibTeX users. The BibTeX Tips and FAQ is not intended to replace the existing BibTeX literature, but rather to complement them: 1. Oren Patashnik's BibTeXing 2. Nicolas Markey's Tame the BeaST --- The B to X of BibTeX 3. Ki-Joo Kim's A BibTeX Guide via Examples 4. Robin Fairbairns' The TeX FAQ 5. Helge Kreutzmann's How to Efficiently Use BibTeX and to help direct readers to these other sources of information for a more in depth treatment of the topics at hand. I sincerely hope that BibTeX users will find it to be of help. Enjoy!
