I noticed that lastchecked
and URL
are non-standard attributes for a bibTeX files, which is kind of strange nowadays, but that's a different matter.
I tried to use @misc{...}
with itmalpha
style, but my document doesn't show the two attributes. Which style can I use for it to display, which doesn't mess up my other references, which are articles and incollections (for now).

In most bibtex styles the information about url and the date when the web page has been accessed can be stored in the
howpublished
field (in free format).A second alternative is to modify the
itmalpha
style to accommodate the two fields. The styles does not supporturl
andlastchecked
. Thus the first step is to insert these two fields in theENTRY
part of the style:Then, we create a function to print the value of the fields. Thus we insert the following code in the file
Finally, we have to use the function at the appropriate position (in the definition of
misc
). We can replace the definition ofmisc
withInstead of editing the
itmalpha.sty
file, please make a copy, edit it, and rename it (e.g.myitmalpha.sty
).PS I have used
\url{}
to wrap the value of the bibtexurl
field, this requires to load an appropriate style, e.g.,url
orhyperref
.
