bibtexbig-list
Would be very useful if we have a list of all available BibTeX entries with all possible fields for each of them.
Something like this one:
@book{alias,
author = "Complete Author Name",
title = "Complete Title",
publisher = "Complete Publisher Name",
year = [year],
address = "Complete address",
edition = "Complete edition information"
}
([year], in this case, should be replaced by something like 2015, for example)
Where can we find it?
I finally managed to create a solution using biblatex. This package by default replaces recurring author or editor names with a dash, and the macros involved can be redefined to achieve "grouping by author":
\bibnamesep length (which controls the spacing between different authors) to a positive value;\bibnamedash (which is invoked to typset the "recurring" dash) to do nothing;\authoryearpunct that a) starts a new line b) for this line, undoes the hanging indentation controlled by the \bibhang length c) capitalizes the following string (e.g. "Editor")Annotations like "Editor" and "Translator" will be typeset at the start of the new line, which accounts for the possibility that the same person is author of one cited work and editor/translator of another.
EDIT: Your style example includes no works with editor instead of author. That said, it should be possible to put the "editor" annotation after the year (immediately before the title).
\documentclass{article}

EDIT: Somehow this worked without the \makeatletter-\makeatother combo. Added nevertheless.
Here's a solution using biblatex. Note that \mkfirstpage uses \mkpageprefix as a post-processor instead of these commands simply being nested; see section 4.6.4 of the biblatex manual for details.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{\mkfirstpage[{\mkpageprefix[bookpagination]}]{#1}}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Bli74,
author = {Blinder, Alan S.},
year = {1974},
title = {The economics of brushing teeth},
journaltitle = {Journal of Political Economy},
volume = {82},
number = {4},
pages = {887--891},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

texdoc bibtexis the obvious source. This lists all standard types with their required and optional fields (pp. 8-9):Plus all entries support the
keyfield.Note that
biblatextreats certain fields differently frombibtex, notably the@inbooktype. It also has a lot of additional fields.And, of course,
bibtexandbiblatexstyles further extend things, no matter which one you are using.
