tex >> natbib in authoryear, problems "compressing" refs with same first author and year

by kathrynnospam » Wed, 13 May 2009 16:41:16 GMT

I am using natbib, and would like references in authoryear style.

If I have a few references in my .bib file, eg:

{Able2008
Author = {Able, A. and Brown, A. and Clark, A. and Dixon, A. and
Engl, A.},
...
Year = (2008} }

{Able2009_1
Author = {Able, A. and Brown, A. and Clark, A. and Dixon, A. and
Engl, A.},
...
Year = (2009} }

{Able2009_2
Author = {Able, A. and Brown, A. and Clark, A. and Engl, A. and
Dixon, A. },
...
Year = (2009} }

and type in my TeX doc:
... some text \citep{Able2008, Able2009_1, Able2009_2} some more
text .....

I would like it to look like
... some text (Able2008; Able2009a; Able2009b) some more text .....
or
... some text (Able2008; Able2009a,b) some more text .....

but I actually get:
... some text (Able2008; Able, Brown, Clark, Dixon and Engl, 2009;
Able, Brown, Clark, Engl and Dixon, 2009) some more text .....

I have included:

\usepackage[compress]{natbib}

\usepackage[plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}
\usepackage{hypernat}

I am using
Windows XP
TeXnicCenter 1.0
hyperref 2008-11-21
natbib 2009-02-08

(Also, dumb q. re: hypernat, I don't have hypernat in my Miktex, I
updated today and it hasn't been loaded, haven't worked out how to get
it as a separate package)

Help would be much appreciated.

thanks,
Kathryn

3. natbib: Combining author-year and numerical references 

To save space, it would be convenient to be able to mix author-year
and numerical references.  I'm pressed for space in a proposal, and
converting some references to numerical references would give me quite
a bit more room.  On the other hand, sometimes it's very useful to see
who the authors were and when the work was published, so it's good to
be able to use author-year references.  I would expect the
bibliography to look something like this:

1. A.N. Other 1992. Blabla. 32:98-117.
2. B.M. Otter 2007. Hehehe. 67:9-76.
etc.

Is this possible in natbib?

5. sort authoryear style index authorlast name ascending and year descending 

Hello All,

Unfortunately, there's only the option nyt, which sorts in biblatex by
name and year, but both ascending.

Is there a way to sort name ascending and year descending?

many Thanks

7. labels in bibliography with natbib's authoryear mode 

Hi,

natbib in numbers mode puts [1] in front of the entries in the 
bibliography. In authoryear mode there is no label.

I'd like to have authoryear citations, but with a label in front of the 
bibitems (the one that I would get with \citep{} in the text).

I can get *some* label by redefining NAT@biblabel::

   \makeatletter \renewcommand\NAT@biblabel[1]{[#1]} \makeatother

However, the argument #1 is only the sequence number of the bibitem AFAIK.

Did anybody do something like that already?
Or does anybody have an idea how to get from that argument to the 
authoryear-type label?

cheers,
stefan
