>>Hi!
>>
>>I'm a french student, and I'm writing a m�moire for my medieval spanish
>>history thesis with Lyx, and I choose to use the jurabib package for my
>>bibliography. I'm not very good at all with informatic, but I wanted to
>>use some powerful tools in order to prepare correctly my thesis (I used
>>Word several years ago, and it was of course a desaster..., and then I
>>choose Linux and his tools), and a friend of mine helped me.
>>I'm now in a kind of a rush to finish this m�moire, and, of course, I
>>have problems with formatting my bibliographic references.
>>I read the jurabib documentation several times, but I could'nt find some
>>things.
>>I'm so sorry for my ignorance and those basic questions, but I'm badly
>>in need of help, and I really wouldn't like to have to copy this m�moire
>>in an openoffice file at the last minute...
>>
>>There are my problems
>>In the quotations:
>>- For the articles and incollections, I have to put the title between
>>quotations marks (""), and the journal or booktitle in italic, and I
>>don't find how to do this...
A hack is to edit the database itself, enclosing the title content
with {\emph{�...�}} to transmit formatted data to bibtex.
This is poor hack because it changes the data instead of the program, but
bst hacking is quite difficult (unless you redefine completely
the bst file using makebst).
>>- For all quotations, I have to use shorttitles after the first
>>quotation (no problem wiht that), and add "op. cit" (or "art. cit" when
>>it is an article or incollection) after this shortitle. Is there a
>>possibility to do such a thing?
Don't know about this one, maybe jurabib allows this natively (it
allows already title changes after the first citation - it may as well allow
coming back to normal font instead of small caps for author names).
>>- For the number field, how can I change "Nr" for "n�"?
This one is simply done by substitution in the bst file.
>>- and I have to put commas between all fields: is there anything else
>>that "commabeforerest"?
natbib seems more flexible than jurabib for this, but I'm no
expert in either of the styles, so...
>>
>>In the bibliography:
>>- I have to divide my bibliographic references into several parts
>>(Sources, studies...). Planning this, I have written my entries in
>>several .bib files, which I join together in one file for the moment in
>>my lyx document. Are there packages relatively easy to use?
