Dear List,
While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following
R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text
description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package:
--------------------------
citation('nlme')
To cite package 'nlme' in publications use:
Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy, Deepayan Sarkar and the
R Development Core Team (2012). nlme: Linear and Nonlinear Mixed
Effects Models. R package version 3.1-105.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {nlme: Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models},
author = {Jose Pinheiro and Douglas Bates and Saikat DebRoy and Deepayan
Sarkar and {R Core Team}},
year = {2012},
note = {R package version 3.1-105},
}
-----------------------------------
BUT, if I use two or more 'citEntry' in the CITATION file (e.g., for the
manual and a book), the bibTeX entries are NOT shown any more, and only the
text description for the two or more entries are shown, as for the 'boot'
package:
-----------------------------------
citation('boot')
To cite the 'boot' package in publications use:
Angelo Canty and Brian Ripley (2012). boot: Bootstrap R (S-Plus)
Functions. R package version 1.3-7.
Davison, A. C. & Hinkley, D. V. (1997) Bootstrap Methods and Their
Applications. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. ISBN
0-521-57391-2
-----------------------------------
Is there any way to show the two bib entries for cases similar to the 'boot'
package ?
toBibtex(citation("boot"))
extracts the two BibTeX entries.
