tex >> natbib and label format in bibliography

by rschindlauer » Wed, 29 Nov 2006 16:43:14 GMT

Hi,

I recently switched from named to natbib (better compatibility with
hyperref) and still have one issue which I couldn't solve with the help
of manuals or newsgroup-search. I use:

\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}
...
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{thesis}

and my citations look like:

"... closed-world assumption [Reiter, 1978] is acknowledged as ..."

So far so good. Now in the bibliography, instead of

Raymond Reiter. On Closed World Data Bases. In Herve Gallaire and Jack
Minker, editors, Logic and Data Bases, pages 119--140. Plenum Press,
New York, 1978.

I would like to see

[Reiter, 1978] Raymond Reiter. On Closed World Data Bases. In Herve
Gallaire and Jack Minker, editors, Logic and Data Bases, pages
119--140. Plenum Press, New York, 1978.

i.e., also the citation label (like in the named-style). Is there any
way to achieve this with natbib?

thnx and best regards,
roman

2. Changing bibliography format in natbib? 

I want to change the bibliography format provided by default by natbib.
 Specifically, I want the year to be placed immediately after the
author names.

Here's exactly what I'm doing right now.  I envoke natbib as follows:

  \usepackage[square]{natbib}
  \bibliographystyle{plainnat}
  \bibpunct{[}{]}{;}{a}{}{,}

This gives me a non-numbered bibliography with citations of the style
[Author 1998].  The bibliography then appears in the following format:

  Author names, title, book, pages, year.

But I want to me make it:

  Author names, year, title, book, pages.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?  I looked through the nanbib docs
and found out how to change the citation format, but not how to change
how the referenced paper looks in the bibliography.

Thanks in advance for any info!

4. [hyperref, pdftex, natbib] www link in the bibliography 

I'd like to generate a www (or file) link in the bibliography part when 
I specify an URL field in the file.bib.
The idea is to easily recover from the document.pdf the cited articles 
when they are available on the web (or locally on the computer).

Does anybody know or have an idea how to do that ?

Thank you all for the replied.  Sadly, they didn't show up in my
google groups reader until after her deadline.  Still, with a bit of
hackery (about which, probably the less said the better!) I got her
the results she needed.

Best wishes to all,

8. Hacking natbib to have page reference in the bibliography entries 

Hallo,

I would like to add the page number where a reference is cited to each
entry of the bibliography generated by natbib.

I know of the existence of the package "index", but it generates a new
index and I would like to avoid this, having and "all in one" list of
references.

Probably I should hack natbib.sty but I do not know how.

is there someone who can help me.

Thank you for the consideration,

Marco
