"Easy" is in the eye of the beholder. Your best bet is to install the LaTeX package custom-bib, if you don't already have it, and then check the documentation. To use custom-bib, you run latex.exe against a file that essentially produces an interactive dialog. Answer all the questions about how the style should look, and it generates your .bst file. It also records the batch file that produced the .bst file, in a way that's easy to edit afterward, in case you want to modify the style without going through the entire dialog again.Dear Lys users, would there be a simple way or tool to manipulate bst style files to easily get the style of a journal that not pertains to the style files database generally available ? Is the only way to edit the bst style as text file and to find where the changes have to be made, or is there any "interpreter" software for bibtex styles? Thanks for your help, Sincerely, Harold
I've had pretty good luck with custom-bib. At least once, though, I needed something custom-bib couldn't do, so I had to generate a "close" style using custom-bib and then hack it with copious help from people in the group.
