 <h3>Description</h3>
 BibTeX is a program and file format designed by Oren Patashnik and
 Leslie Lamport in 1985 for the LaTeX document preparation system.
 The format is entirely character based, so it can be used by any
 program (although the standard character set for accents is TeX).
 It is field (tag) based and the BibTeX program will ignore unknown
 fields, so it is expandable. It is probably the most common format
 for bibliographies on the Internet.

 <h3>Software Support</h3>
 The BibTeX program uses <a href=

 list of citations from LaTeX, and a BibTeX database to create a
 LaTeX file listing the cited references.

 <h3>Examples</h3>
 <pre>
 @article{Gettys90,
    author = {Jim Gettys and Phil Karlton and Scott McGregor},
    title = {The {X} Window System, Version 11},
    journal = {Software Practice and Experience},
    volume = {20},
    number = {S2},
    year = {1990},
    abstract = {A technical overview of the X11 functionality.  This is an update
 of the X10 TOG paper by Scheifler \&amp; Gettys.}
 }
 </pre>
 <h3>Common problems</h3>
 <ul>
 <li>The original documents specified a large number of field names,
 but there are many common items that are not listed. A list of some
 of the ones people have added are below.</li>
 <li>When using BibTeX, the interaction between names and accenting
 is somewhat tricky. You should use `G{\"o}del' or `G{\"{o}}del',
 and not `{G{\"{o}}del}' or `{G\"{o}del}'.</li>
 <li>The BibTeX program is written, as is all TeX, using static data
 structures, and the maximum length of any one string is by default
 1000 characters. It is not uncommon for fields like abstract and
 contents to overflow this buffer. Solutions to this include
 <ul>
 <li>change the source code to BibTeX (I've changed mine to
 3000)</li>
 <li>use <tt>\include{<i>file.tex</i>}</tt> to include an external
 file</li>
 <li>split the field into <i>field1</i>, <i>field2</i>,
 ...</li></ul></li></ul>
 <h3>Format Description</h3>
 <h3>Special features</h3>
 The <tt>@STRING</tt> command is used to define abbreviations for
 use by BibTeX. The command <tt>@string{jgg1 = "Journal of Gnats and
 Gnus, Series~1"}</tt> defines 'jgg1' to be the abbreviation for the
 string "Journal of Gnats and Gnus, Series~1". Any reference outside
 of quotes or braces to <tt>jgg1</tt> will be filled in with the
 full string.
 <p>The <tt>@PREAMBLE</tt> command is used to define formatter code
 that will be output directly to the <tt>bbl</tt> file produced by
 the BibTeX program. This usually consists of LaTeX macros. It is
 unclear what one should do with the fields when converting to a
 format that does not use TeX.</p>
 <p>The <tt>@COMMENT</tt> command lets you put any text inside it.
 It isn't really necessary, since BibTeX will ignore any text that
 isn't inside an entry. However, you can not have an <b>@</b>
 character outside of an item.</p>
 <h3>Standard entry types</h3>
 <dl>
 <dt><tt>@article</tt></dt>
 <dd>An article from a journal or magazine.</dd>
 <dt><tt>@book</tt></dt>

 <h3>Other entry types</h3>
 Using these entry types is not recommended, but they might occur in
 some bibliographies.
 <dl>
 <dt><tt>@collection</tt></dt>
 <dd>A collection of works. The same as <tt>proceedings</tt></dd>
 <dt><tt>@patent</tt></dt>
 <dd>A patent.</dd></dl>
 <h3>Standard fields</h3>
 For now I'm going to be lazy and give you what Oren Patashnik wrote
 about the fields. I'll redo this sometime, including references to
 how each field should be formatted.
 <dl>
 <dt><tt>address</tt></dt>
 <dd>Usually the address of the <tt>publisher</tt> or other type of
 institution. For major publishing houses, van Leunen recommends
 omitting the information entirely. For small publishers, on the
 other hand, you can help the reader by giving the complete
 address.</dd>
 <dt><tt>annote</tt></dt>
 <dd>An annotation. It is not used by the standard bibliography
 styles, but may be used by others that produce an annotated
 bibliography.</dd>
 <dt><tt>author</tt></dt>
 <dd>The name(s) of the author(s), in the format described in the
 LaTeX book.</dd>
 <dt><tt>booktitle</tt></dt>
 <dd>Title of a book, part of which is being cited. See the LaTeX
 book for how to type titles. For book entries, use the
 <tt>title</tt> field instead.</dd>
 <dt><tt>chapter</tt></dt>
 <dd>A chapter (or section or whatever) number.</dd>
 <dt><tt>crossref</tt></dt>
 <dd>The database key of the entry being cross referenced. Any
 fields that are missing from the current record are inherited from
 the field being cross referenced.</dd>
 <dt><tt>edition</tt></dt>
 <dd>The edition of a book---for example, ``Second''. This should be
 an ordinal, and should have the first letter capitalized, as shown
 here; the standard styles convert to lower case when
 necessary.</dd>
 <dt><tt>editor</tt></dt>
 <dd>Name(s) of editor(s), typed as indicated in the LaTeX book. If
 there is also an <tt>author</tt> field, then the <tt>editor</tt>
 field gives the editor of the book or collection in which the
 reference appears.</dd>
 <dt><tt>howpublished</tt></dt>
 <dd>How something strange has been published. The first word should
 be capitalized.</dd>
 <dt><tt>institution</tt></dt>
 <dd>The sponsoring institution of a technical report.</dd>
 <dt><tt>journal</tt></dt>
 <dd>A journal name. Abbreviations are provided for many
 journals.</dd>
 <dt><tt>key</tt></dt>
 <dd>Used for alphabetizing, cross referencing, and creating a label
 when the ``author'' information <!-- See odds-and-ends -->
  is missing. This field should not be confused with the key that
 appears in the <tt>cite</tt> command and at the beginning of the
 database entry.</dd>
 <dt><tt>month</tt></dt>
 <dd>The month in which the work was published or, for an
 unpublished work, in which it was written. You should use the
 standard three-letter abbreviation, as described in Appendix B.1.3
 of the LaTeX book.</dd>
 <dt><tt>note</tt></dt>
 <dd>Any additional information that can help the reader. The first
 word should be capitalized.</dd>
 <dt><tt>number</tt></dt>
 <dd>The number of a journal, magazine, technical report, or of a
 work in a series. An issue of a journal or magazine is usually
 identified by its volume and number; the organization that issues a
 technical report usually gives it a number; and sometimes books are
 given numbers in a named series.</dd>
 <dt><tt>organization</tt></dt>
 <dd>The organization that sponsors a conference or that publishes a
 <tt>manual</tt>.</dd>
 <dt><tt>pages</tt></dt>
 <dd>One or more page numbers or range of numbers, such as
 <tt>42--111</tt> or <tt>7,41,73--97</tt> or <tt>43+</tt> (the
 `<tt>+</tt>' in this last example indicates pages following that
 don't form a simple range). To make it easier to maintain
 <cite>Scribe</cite>-compatible databases, the standard styles
 convert a single dash (as in <tt>7-33</tt>) to the double dash used
 in TeX to denote number ranges (as in <tt>7--33</tt>).</dd>
 <dt><tt>publisher</tt></dt>
 <dd>The publisher's name.</dd>
 <dt><tt>school</tt></dt>
 <dd>The name of the school where a thesis was written.</dd>
 <dt><tt>series</tt></dt>
 <dd>The name of a series or set of books. When citing an entire
 book, the the <tt>title</tt> field gives its title and an optional
 <tt>series</tt> field gives the name of a series or multi-volume
 set in which the book is published.</dd>
 <dt><tt>title</tt></dt>
 <dd>The work's title, typed as explained in the LaTeX book.</dd>
 <dt><tt>type</tt></dt>
 <dd>The type of a technical report---for example, ``Research
 Note''.</dd>
 <dt><tt>volume</tt></dt>
 <dd>The volume of a journal or multi-volume book.</dd>
 <dt><tt>year</tt></dt>
 <dd>The year of publication or, for an unpublished work, the year
 it was written. Generally it should consist of four numerals, such
 as <tt>1984</tt>, although the standard styles can handle any
 <tt>year</tt> whose last four nonpunctuation characters are
 numerals, such as `\hbox{(about 1984)}'.</dd></dl>
 <h3>Other fields</h3>
 BibTeX is extremely popular, and many people have used it to store
 information. Here is a list of some of the more common fields:
 <dl>
 <dt><tt>affiliation</tt></dt>
 <dd>The authors affiliation.</dd>
 <dt><tt>abstract</tt></dt>
 <dd>An abstract of the work.</dd>
 <dt><tt>contents</tt></dt>
 <dd>A Table of Contents</dd>
 <dt><tt>copyright</tt></dt>
 <dd>Copyright information.</dd>

 <dt><tt>location</tt></dt>
 <dd>A location associated with the entry, such as the city in which
 a conference took place.</dd>
 <dt><tt>LCCN</tt></dt>
 <dd>The Library of Congress Call Number. I've also seen this as
 <tt>lib-congress</tt>.</dd>
 <dt><tt>mrnumber</tt></dt>
 <dd>The <i>Mathematical Reviews</i> number.</dd>
 <dt><tt>price</tt></dt>
 <dd>The price of the document.</dd>
 <dt><tt>size</tt></dt>
 <dd>The physical dimensions of a work.</dd>
 <dt><tt>URL</tt></dt>
 <dd>The WWW Universal Resource Locator that points to the item
 being referenced. This often is used for technical reports to point
