[Tex/LaTex] Spanish references and bibliography

bibtexnaming

I'm using the following commands for my bibliographical stile in TexMaker:

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{econometrica}
\bibliography{<referencias>}

I'd like to know How to modify LaTeX/MikteX so the references in the text and also the bibliography appear like

xxx y xxx (1990)

instead of

xxx and xxx (1990)

It looks like the econometrica bibliography style does not support internationalization using babel.

I think that it should be enough to replace " and " by " y " in line 351, 382 and 995 of the econometrica.bst file, since it looks like they are the only occurrence of the keyword. There are other strings that you may also want to change like "others".

[Tex/LaTex] Url references in bibliography

Assuming your .bib file contains url fields: Use the alphaurl style instead of alpha.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{url}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
  url = {www.tex.stackexchange.com},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{alphaurl}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)

[Tex/LaTex] How to modify bibliography style

You can get BibTeX to insert a colon instead of a period after (yyyy) by modifying the function date.block in the file jtbnew.bst. (Save the existing file to a new file, and modify only the new file.) This function is defined as follows in jtbnew.bst:

FUNCTION {date.block}
{
  new.block
}

The function new.block, defined elsewhere in the file jtbnew.bst, essentially inserts a period ("full stop")and a space. For your purposes, the content of the date.block function needs to be modified, say as follows:

FUNCTION {date.block}
{
  ":" *
  add.blank
}

(I'll leave it to your imagination to guess that the add.blank function does...) Save the modified .bst file and start using it instead of jtbnew.bst.

By the way, if you find that you need to make more than just one or two adjustments to an existing bibliography style file in order to get the style you need, you may find it advantageous to run the makebst.tex utility; type "latex makebst" from a command window and follow the prompts. Running this utility will create an entirely new style file that incorporates all of your formatting requirements from the get-go, without further need to decipher and make sense of the rather dense internals of BibTeX's infix programming language.
