Re: Hacking bst files... [Was: Show entry type in References]
One of the things I personally find annoying about LaTeX is the syntax,
and BibTeX is even worse, frankly, but it's not that insanely
complicated once you adjust to the stack-oriented character of the
language. You may find it useful to keep pen and paper nearby so you can
keep track of what's on the stack as you trace the code.
If you haven't read it, obviously you should read btxhak.dvi, the guide
to hacking BibTeX style files. It takes a while---I know---to get a
sense for how the language works, and how these style files work, but it
will start to make sense after a while. You should also export to LaTeX,
compile the file manually, and look at what is being written to the .bbl
file, when various bibliography styles are used.
The labels used in the bibliography, and in the text, are set by the
\bibitem command that the style file writes to the .bbl file. In many
style files, this seems to be written by the output.bibitem function,
which is called at the beginning of each of the functions, article,
book, etc, that are called for the appropriate sorts of items. Here it
is from plain.bst:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
\bibitem{ write$
cite$ write$
} write$
newline$
before.all 'output.state :=
}
This ends up writing something like:
\bibitem{Descartes:Rules}
to your .bbl file. Compare this function, from alpha.bst:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
\bibitem[ write$
label write$
]{ write$
cite$ write$
} write$
newline$
before.all 'output.state :=
}
This writes something like:
\bibitem[Des82]{Descartes:Rules}
to the .bbl file, with the result that the label Des82 is used both in
the text and the bibliography. Since there is no such argument to
\bibitem in the previous case, the default is used: The cite key is
simply a number.
The variable label is what holds the value of the cite key in
alpha.bst. Where was it set? You will note that it is mentioned in the
ENTRY declaration, both in plain.bst and in alpha.bst, as a string
variable that is associated with each item in the bibliography. This is
NOT an item set in the .bib file itself---unlike author, title,
etc---but rather a new variable that has been declared to be associated
with each item and that can be manipulated in the .bst file. In
plain.bst, the label variable is set in the function longest.label.pass:
FUNCTION {longest.label.pass}
{ number.label int.to.str$ 'label := % number.label was initialized to 1 in
initialize.longest.label
% its string form is here being assigned
to label
number.label #1 + 'number.label := %this increments number.label
label width$ longest.label.width
{ label 'longest.label :=
label width$ 'longest.label.width :=
}
'skip$
if$
}
(I've added comments.) This function is called for each item in the
bibliography with:
ITERATE(longest.label.pass)
which is itself called after the list has been sorted and such. If you
look at alpha.bst, you will see that label is set for each item in
calc.label, which is itself called in the function presort, called with
ITERATE(presort).
Hint: If you want to know where a variable named var is set, search
for: 'var, since an assignment to var will look like: 'var :=, the
assigned value being whatever is on the top of the stack. (If you see
whatever 'var ;=, then the occurrence of whatever is just pushing a
value onto the stack.)
So the label variable exists in plain.bst, but it is not used there. But
we can use it. For example, suppose we change the definition of
output.bibitem in plain.bst to the following:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
\bibitem[FROG write$
label write$
]{ write$
cite$ write$
} write$
newline$
before.all 'output.state :=
}
Then we get cite keys like: FROG3, FROG25, etc.
Your request is more complicated, because we want something different
for different types of entries. But that's OK, because we have the entry
type in the type$ variable, and we can just check that. The easiest
thing to do would seem to be to define a new function that will print
the prefix we want depending upon the entry type. This function will
handle articles, incollections, and books:
FUNCTION {output.prefix}
{
type$ incollection =
type$ article =
+ %hack for or
{ Art }
{
type$ book =
{ Book }
{ Other }
if$
}
if$
}
If you need to add other types, that's obviously easy to do. (There's no
elsif here, so we have to use nested ifs. Exercise: Code up a switch or
case statement!) We then redefine output.bibitem as follows:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
\bibitem[ write$
output.prefix write$
label write$
]{ write$
cite$ write$
} write$
newline$
before.all 'output.state :=
}
That should do what you need, more or less.

Yes, because there isn't a heading to add.

(chapter title without numbering). Either this way, the Bibliography does

The starred versions of the headings are _by definition_ excluded from the
toc. So either add
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
in ERT below the heading, or use the KOMA-script classes, which provide
\addchap (unnumbered headings that are included in the TOC).

Bibliography in TOC [Was: Show entry type in References]
I managed to get the Bibliography in TOC in the output file by using the TeX command \backmatter right before the Bibliography Chapter (not Chapter*) and preceded by a page break. See: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/ce999aa747cf4a3e/36b1505bedbf3288?q=starred+TOCrnum=1#36b1505bedbf3288 In this way, inside LyX you get the Bibliography chapter numbered, and as an appendix (if you have, as in my case, appendixes), also appearing in LyX file TOC. When you view the pdf, for example, you get a nice Bibliography title (without number) in TOC of the compiled document. Perhaps it is a dirty trick, but it works... Anyway the Document settings -- Numbering and TOC pane does not work... is it a bug? how to report it?

Hacking bst files... [Was: Show entry type in References]
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 ...

Hi, 2006-06-05 18:46 +0200, Ares: 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 ...

Yes, because there isn't a heading to add.
What I did is to define the Bibliography section name as a Chapter*
(chapter title without numbering). Either this way, the Bibliography does
not appear in TOC. I also went to Document settings -- Numbering and TOC,
but it is not possible from here to change the behaviour of Chapter* since
Chapter* is not there at all! but there are Part* and Section*, so why not
Chapter* ? By the way, I noticed that even if I set Part* and Section* to

the meaning of it all?
The starred versions of the headings are _by definition_ excluded from the
toc. So either add
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
in ERT below the heading, or use the KOMA-script classes, which provide
\addchap (unnumbered headings that are included in the TOC).

Bibliography in TOC [Was: Show entry type in References]
I managed to get the Bibliography in TOC in the output file by using the TeX command \backmatter right before the Bibliography Chapter (not Chapter*) and preceded by a page break. See: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/ce999aa747cf4a3e/36b1505bedbf3288?q=starred+TOCrnum=1#36b1505bedbf3288 In this way, inside LyX you get the Bibliography chapter numbered, and as an appendix (if you have, as in my case, appendixes), also appearing in LyX file TOC. When you view the pdf, for example, you get a nice Bibliography title (without number) in TOC of the compiled document. Perhaps it is a dirty trick, but it works...

Hello everyone, I'm using LyX to compile a PhD thesis and a bibtex database for references, and I'm new to both. I would like to group the references according to entry type, and to show the entry type itself in the references. this would look like, for instance: ... References articles [Art1] article1 [Art2] article2 etc Books [Book1] book1 [Book2] book2 etc etc ... Is there anyone who knows how to do that? maybe using an appropriate bst file that does that?? Thanks for your support Diego
