As I wrote in a previous post, I would like the references of my PhD thesis
to be arranged as follows:

References

Articles
[Art1] article1
[Art2] article2
etc
Books
[Book1] book1
[Book2] book2
etc
etc
...

LyX 1.4.1 supports "sectioned bibliography", so it is possible to split the
Bibliography chapter in sections.

In order to have the citation as [Art1] and [Book1] etc, I need to hack a
bst file, as suggested by Jürgen. I had a look to plain.bst and it doesn't
sound so easy!

In the end I would just like to add a prefix (Book, Art etc) to the
reference numbering and to use a separate bst file for each entry (Books,
Articles etc), so that the numbering starts with each "section".

Is there a resource where I can find how bst files work? or is there someone
who can help me?

Thanks for support,
Diego

Hi!

I think that a much easier way to get a bst file than to start hack it is to use the makebst utility. (run latex makebst) Then you get a series of multiple choice question on how you want to format oyur bibliographical entries. Then two files are created, a dbj file and a bst file. The bst file is the bibliography file created. The dbj file is a batch file that is run through latex to create the bst file.

If you later want to tweak the style file, this can easily be done by changing the dbj file, which is quite easy. Just comment out the option you want to change using a "#", and uncomment the line with the option you prefer instead. The you just run the dbj file thorugh latex to update the bst file!

You might not be able to do everything this way, but at least it is easy and it helped me a lot!
