MlBibTeX, BibTeX and Bibliography Styles

Abstract

The first part of this talk about BibTeX will focus on some difficult points related to syntax of bibliography files, e.g., the specification of person and organisation names. In addition, we show how some successors of BibTeX---BibTeX8, Bibulus, MlBibTeX programs---improve them. In the second part, we explain how bibliography styles are built. Some demonstrations of the BibTeX program are given as part of this talk, and some techical points could be made clearer by using some functions belonging to MlBibTeX.
