Optional Arguments for cite

Optional Arguments for cite

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi Taco,

  Latex provides an optional argument for \cite. For example, if I want 
to refer to something on page 4 of a paper, I can say.... see 
\cite[page~4]{key}. This is typeset as [3, page 4] where 3 is the 
reference number.

How can I do something like this with the bib module. Note that I can 
not use the page key from the bib file, as the page key stores the 
page numbers of the paper. I want to cite a specific page (or theorem 
or ....) of the paper.

Thanks,
Aditya

buy have a look at section 3.2 of the bibtex manual:

\cite[extras={page~4}][key]

Looks like you got the better solution, even so ;-)

Just what I needed too, thanks.

But should it be 

  \cite[extras={, page~4}][key]

Otherwise I get, e.g. (Aamport, 1986bpage 4) as the reference.
(using t-bib.tex 2006.04.11).

Whazzup? My bibtex manual is from Boris Patashnik and has no
Section 3.2. Where is the URL for the newer manual?

Boris -)

You can use
	\cite[key][extras=page~4]
