: after author in bibliography

2003-07-02 Thread Jorgen Johansson
Hello,

I am trying to comply with the following bibliography style.

1) Author.: Title, J. Mech. Phys. Solids., Vol. 13, pp. 213-222, 1965.

I have managed to get the 1) infront by changin the biblabel following 
some instructions on Herbert Voss tricks page.

Then I tried to hack the unsrt.bst by first renaming it to 
myunsrt.bst and changed the line
{ title t change.case$ }
to read
{:  title * t change.case$ }

the reference came out something like this.

1) Author. : Title...

I don't want to be picky but the space in between Author. and the : 
does not look good.

Can any suggest any remedy for this problem.

jorgen

Hi

This solution might be overkill, but you can use 'makebst' to get a 
custom bibtex-style. It's not fully custom, but you do have loads of 
options. I've only played with it once, but it was relatively easy to 
use...
Try running:
texdoc makebst
on your system, this should bring up some documentation for you.

Are you sure that there should be *both* period and colon? What about
format.author function?

Great. I ran latex makebst (for MikTex) and got my references to look 
the way they should. Just answer the questions about the format and then 
one gets the desired .bst file.
