Bibliography in MKIV, custom rendering

[Alan Braslau <braslau.list@comcast.net>]

Hello,

You find a need to modify the rendering of the bibliography as you are
misusing the bibtex data entry.

Here is your example, corrected:

1) @electronic is more appropriate than @misc;
2) Apple Inc. is not a name so you should not be using author:
organization is more appropriate.

Note that the only difference, in fact, between @electronic and @misc
is this optional field, organization. We get this from the bibtex
references and from the standard definitions in bibtex tools such as
jabref.

Your example did point out a correction that should now be in the APS
specification definitions in the latest version that can be found on
the Garden. Previously, a url (or doi) got included as a hyperlink
tag to the text "howpublished" field. The logic has been modified to
show the url (or doi) explicitly if present, in the absence of the
howpublished field.

Alan
