This kind of custom bibliography style is exactly the type of thing that the new Bibulous project is probably the best tool for. Using a subset of the OP's suggested database file (main.bib
),
@article{Abrahams1986,
title = {Scaling description of the dielectric function near the mobility edge},
author = {Abrahams, Elihu and Lee, P. A.},
journal = {Phys. Rev. B},
volume = {33},
issue = {2},
pages = {683--689},
year = {1986},
month = {1},
publisher = {American Physical Society},
url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.33.683}
}
@book{Nakayama2003,
title = {Fractal Concepts in Condensed Matter Physics},
series = {Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences},
volume = {140},
author = {Nakayama, Tsuneyoshi and Yakubo, Kousuke},
address = {New York},
publisher = {Springer},
issn = {0171-1873},
year = {2003}
}
@article{Chalker1988,
title = {Scaling, diffusion, and the integer quantized Hall effect},
author = {Chalker, J. T. and Daniell, G. J.},
journal = {Phys. Rev. Lett.},
volume = {61},
issue = {5},
pages = {593--596},
year = {1988},
month = {8},
publisher = {American Physical Society},
url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.61.593}
}
@article{Chalker1990,
journal = {Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications},
volume = {167},
issue = {1},
month = {8},
year = {1990},
day = {1},
pages = {253-258},
title = {Scaling and eigenfunction correlations near a mobility edge},
author = {J. T. Chalker}
}
@article{Pook1991,
year = {1991},
issn = {0722-3277},
journal = {Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter},
volume = {82},
number = {2},
title = {Multifractality and scaling in disordered mesoscopic systems},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01324339},
publisher = {Springer-Verlag},
author = {Pook, Werner and Janßen, Martin},
pages = {295-298}
}
we can put together the following (Bibulous format) style file (main.bst
)
TEMPLATES:
article = \textbf{<au>, (<year>[-<month.monthabbrev()>[-<day>]]):}\\ [\href{<url>}{<title>}|\href{<doi>}{<title>}|<title>|], \textit{<journal>} \textit{<volume>}([<number>|<issue>|]), [<startpage>--<endpage>|<startpage>|<eid>|].
book = \textbf{[<au>|<ed>|], (<year>[-<month.monthabbrev()>[-<day>]]):}\\ \textit{<title>}[, <edition_ordinal>~ed.][, <series>][ <issn>], <address>: <publisher>.
SPECIAL-TEMPLATES:
authorlist = <author.to_namelist()>
editorlist = <editor.to_namelist()>
authorname.n = [<authorlist.n.prefix> ]<authorlist.n.last>, <authorlist.n.first.initial()>.[ <authorlist.n.middle.initial()>.][, <authorlist.n.suffix>.]
au = <authorname.0>, ...{ \& }<authorname.9>
editorname.n = [<editorlist.n.prefix> ]<editorlist.n.last>, <editorlist.n.first.initial()>.[ <editorlist.n.middle.initial()>.][, <editorlist.n.suffix>.]
ed = <editorname.0>, ...{ \& }<editorname.5>
citelabel = <authorlist.0.last>-<year>
sortkey = <citelabel>
(Note that the above block of code gives the entire file.) Finally, achieving the requested format of a hanging indent for the formatted reference entries requires adding some code to the main.tex
file preamble. Taking from @egreg's proposed solution, we can use
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[paper=letterpaper, text={5.8in,8.5in},centering]{geometry}
\usepackage[colorlinks=True,urlcolor=blue,citecolor=black,breaklinks=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
{\section*{\refname}%
\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}%
\begin{enumerate}[label={},itemindent=*,leftmargin=3em]
\@openbib@code
\sloppy
\clubpenalty4000
\@clubpenalty \clubpenalty
\widowpenalty4000
\sfcode`\.\@m}
{\def\@noitemerr
{\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
\end{enumerate}}
\makeatother

If you use the command
\bibliography{lesson7a1}
in your LaTeX file, then your bibliography file must be namedlesson7a1.bib
(and nottest.bib
). The idea behind this is that some users have just one bibliography file that they use in many different LaTeX documents. Therefore, the filename of the .bib file is not always the same as that of the .tex file. (However, if you want your .bib file to be calledtest.bib
, you could of course change the above command to\bibliography{test}
).The website you linked to has the correct information. In your case, you have to run:
Note that the second command to run is
bibtex test
and notbibtex lesson7a1
; the bibtex command will read the filetest.aux
and thenlesson7a1.bib
, and generate the filetest.bbl
.
