OXFORD STYLE PACKAGE This is the oxford bst style package, version 0.4. It is a bibtex style geared at citations for the humanities. STYLE The oxford style implements the oxford style interpreted through the eye of a swede working in the fields of the history of ideas. The style is based on Harvard.sty and a heavily hacked bst-file generated with custom-bib. It currently only supports \cite[]{} and \cite{} and only in abrevation mode. The form of the bibitem entries is \harvarditem[Jones, STITLE]{Jones, TITLE .... (PUBLISH:ADRESS, YEAR)}{1990}{key} Brian Jones, TITLE ... (PUBLISH:ADRESS, YEAR). The style gives the full reference att the first citation and then an abrevated one. The file suports an additional entry in the bib-file, stitle (short title). It is used in the abrevated citation. The abrevated citation follows these rules: If (lastname == UNIQ) { lastname } elsif (stitle == EXIST) { lastname, stitle } else { lastname, title } oxford.sty also inserts an "ibid." if the current citation is the same as the last one. USAGE \usepackage[default, none]{oxford} . . . \bibliographystyle{oxford_xx} where xx stands for chosen language INSTALL In the distibution there are only two languages directly supported: swedish english You install the oxford package either by putting the files in places you alreday know are supported by latex, eg.: cp oxford.sty /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/tex/latex/base cp oxford_se.bst /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/bibtex/bst/base cp oxford_en.bst /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/bibtex/bst/base Or you shose another location and then has to set som environmental variables, eg.: The place you put oxford.sty have to be exported with TEXINPUTS: export TEXINPUTS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/local: The place where you put the bst-files have to be exported with BSTINPUTS: BSTINPUTS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/bibtex/bst/oxford: (Donīt forget the trailing colon (:) LANGUAGE The oxford_in.bst has support for any kind of languages.
