[9fans] troff bibliography

[cej]

Hi,
how do I publish complete bibliographies w/ refer | troff?
(on loonix I use this:
/usr/bin/refer  -B bib |  nroff -mbib
but with refer and tmac.bib from heirloom-doctools: the -B option is essential
(beat me for still using loonix))

thanks,
++pac.

You can get V7 refer from /n/sources/contrib/forsyth/refer.tgz.

yes. i have it, but it does not work due to the lack of -B switch. i took and edited the tmac.bib from heirloom sources, however -B in refer seems to be essentiali'm diving into heirloom refer2.c to see what -B does...
thanks,

++pac.

This is probably because the Heirloom tools are different from the
Plan 9 tools. I think you should try compiling the Heirloom tools
using ape/psh and see what happens.

yep. i'll try just refer&allies, and we'll see. looks like it wouldn't make much problem, namely if i follow the style forsyth did the ape port...
thanks, regards,

peter, aka ++pac.

i have aded the -B option from heirloom to forsyth's port of refer, plus a simple script 'roffbib.rc' that makes complete bibliography from the database, plus a tmac.bib macro; the stuff is in:
/n/sources/contrib/pac/sys/src/ape/cmd/txt/refer.tgz
until, perhaps, forsyth will host it??
enjoy,

++pac.
