This is dictated by your BibTeX style. The .bst file has all the logic to deal
with your .bib file - including what to parse and what not to parse, and what
to show when. I have yet to find a BibTeX editor that offers a little bit of
intuitive style handling as well.
If you're familiar with sed, you can manipulate your .bib file to your liking
(remove the url keys so they do not get parsed by your style, or use a
different style).
Thanks.
I was afraid that would be the case. I have never used sed so I'll just have
to do some hand editing I guess. A quick hand edit of the example bib file
shows that it works easily enough, I just had hoped for a slightly more general
approach.
