m-bib sorting, etc.

m-bib sorting, etc.

[Bruce D'Arcus]

Another question on m-bib:

Is it possible to get the bib list alphabetized?  Or is the only way 
this can work if the bib file itself is so, and I use the bbl sort 
option?

Also, I am getting some weird vertical spacing in the list (like extra 
blank space between a couple of entries).  Is there any suggested 
workaround for this?

If you use the cont-au.bst style to process your bib file, the bbl file will 
be sorted and you can use the bbl sort option. As far as I know, this is the 
only way.

\setupbibtex[sort=author]
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

I noticed this if a book entry ends exactly at the end of a line. A change on 
line 147 of bibl-apa.tex fixed this:

    {\insertedition{, }{ edition.}{.}}%
% new version, watch the missing space after the final full stop

Maybe your problem has a similar reason.

If I understand correctly, if I have this code in the preamble and I 
run BibTeX, the cont-au.bst file ought to be automatically used.  Is 
that right?  Instead, I get:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.4.5)
The top-level auxiliary file: prop_bib2.aux
The style file: cont-no.bst
Database file #1: bib.bib

Yes. Another bug. You have to manually edit the aux file produced by the first 
tex run and replace cont-no by cont-au. Even worse: since the extension .aux 
is hard coded in bibtex, and since the file is written each time you run tex, 
you will have to do this before every bibtex run (i.e., every time you make 
changes to your bib database).

Hello,
does anybody know, how to fix this bug?
If not, I'm going to try it...
Cheers, Peter

Hi,

Somehow,  I completely missed this bug in last september's updated release
of the module. It is now fixed, and a new zip file is available at:

	http://tex.aanhet.net/bib

If there are any more "still open" bugs, please let me know.

Greetings, Taco

Bonjour à tous,

Le 26 mai 04, à 10:36, Taco Hoekwater a écrit :

An error seams to be in the file m-bib.tex (line 97)
Two consecutive lines contains \stopvariables

Putting one into comment seems to work.

Cordialement,

Re: m-bib sorting, etc.

[Taco Hoekwater]

Sorry, that was a cut&paste error. Fixed that bug, as well as:

    Patched bibl-aps.tex: the type `unpublished' now typesets  `(unpublished)'
    in the publication list instead of attempting to process a publisher (thanks Tobias Burnus)

Yet another zip file has been updated.

Greetings, Taco

Hmm,
It's nice 2 know that u're working on the bibliography module again. I use 
it extensively for my journal and have found a number of bugs, did not 
report them since I was under the impression that you had stopped work on 
it (I've been away for a while and am out of date)... I'll try the 
30-9-2003 version and try 2 report back in the coming days.

Best
Idris
