If it's a collection, consider using crossrefs.
But then, under which author/year (say) does the file end up *in the filesystem*? The last one to have spoken? I need this to be predictable by plain (cross-platform) bibtex reading any of the .bib entries. > Do you mean that you're sharing the .bib file with Linux/Windows users? > What software do they use to read the .bib file, and how does it deal with > file names? Storing it on a server shouldn't matter. The software used is just plain latex (and bibtex), running on the server. There, our book's source and my biblio.bib are sync'd using Mercurial, and the literature Archive is sync'd using Unison. It's also served (to us) by Apache. While working on a paper (or the book) we use a special .bst which includes hyperlinks to that Archived literature. The book's mercurial repo also contains a http://hatta-wiki.org for discussion. This also supports latex (mathjax) and I'd like to also be able to \cite references and get the hyperlinked, but that part is not implemented. > I guess I thought you needed 20 editor windows open because you were > referring back to others as you were writing notes.

The 20 was a somewhat extreme example to show how useless a title list could become, but I might typically have 10 -- why? because I'm copying and pasting and moving material and \cite-ing from one another. Since you express curiosity, I'm emailing you 3 random pages in hope they'll illustrate this better than long explanations could. The bottom line is that this is history-of-math related work, where having all sources at your fingertips is starting to allow for a new style of work. (You don't need to quote nearly as much, when you can just link the original pages from gallica.fr, archive.org, etc.) Francois ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
