- Dear Bibtex experts,
-
- I am looking for a Bibtex ".bst" format that will print references in
- the form:
-
- 1. Last name of the first author (or editor), concatenated with
- 2. a dash, concatenated with
- 3. the last two digits of the year of publication;
- plus in case of duplicate labels (same last name & same year):
- 4. a period, concatenated with
- 5. an ordinal number (1, 2, 3, ...)
-
- For example:
-
- [Einstein-92]
- [Jones-88.2]
-
- The closest I have found (in several TeX archives) is a shell script
- called "makebst.sh", which is supposed to create a format called "long",
- which is close to what I described above, but without the dash and the
- extensions. Unfortunately, after creating and using "long.bst", it gives
- long lists of error messages like:
-
- 1 is an integer literal, not a function, for entry Einstein-92
- while executing---line 721 of file long.bst
-
- which seems like a bug to me, since it works fine for the standard ".bst's".
- Besides that, I prefer the order of the entries in the references themselves
- to be the same order as they are listed in the ".bib" files in question.
-
- In case the order has to be "hard coded", this is the order I prefer:
-
- @InProceedings{label-99.1,
- % Key = "",
- Author = "",
- Title = "",
- Journal = "",
- Special = "",
- Type = "",
- BookTitle = "",
- Editor = "",
- Edition = "",
- Series = "",
- Volume = "",
- Number = "",
- Chapter = "",
- Pages = "",
- School = "",
- Organization = "",
- % Location = "",
- % Dates = "",
- Institution = "",
- Publisher = "",
- Address = "",
- Month = "",
- Year = "",
- % IEEECN = "",
- % LoCN = "",
- % ISBN = "",
- % ISSN = "",
- % Language = "",
- HowPublished = "",
- Annote = "",
- Note = "" }
-
- Since I have no experience with Bibtex programming, digging into the
- code was to no avail. I am therefore asking for your help.
- Thanking you in advance,
- E. Fiesler

- P.S. I have also looked in the TeX-index, but no ".bst" seems close enough.
