New Post: different paragraph?

$
0
0

What exactly do you want to achieve?

Out of the box BibWord supports two formats: one where each entry in your bibliography is in its own paragraph and one where the entire bibliography is represented as a table and each entry has its own row. The idea behind the table version is that it allows you to create perfectly aligned numbered bibliographies for example.

The decision made by BibWord on what style to show is based on the value of the columns element in the bibliography element. If that value is 1, then it will be a paragraph layout, if it is more than one, then it will be a table layout.

<bibliography><columns>1</columns><!-- All your format strings for your bibliography --></bibliography>

New Post: Automatic insertion and formating of Vol. No. and Iss.

Hi all,

First of all, thank you Yves.

I have almost customized my own bibliographic style. For that, I used BibType to create my own forms, and modified the Harvard-Anglia bibliographic style to give the appearance that I wanted.

However, I would like to make the formatting of "Volume"/"Number"/"Issue" easier and automatic. Some journals use the "Volume"/"Number", others the "Volume"/"Issue" and  others the"Number"/"Issue". Since word do not recognized the "Number" variable, I have used the variable "NumberVolumes", which I only need for this propose.

What I would like to do is something like this:

{%Volume:xv%|%NumberVolume:xn%|%Issue:xs%{, %NumberVolume:xn%|%Issue:xs%{, %Issue:xs%}}{, %Pages:p. :pp. :a2%}}

where xv, xn and xs are options to include, respectively, "vol. ", "no. " and "iss. " before the corresponding field, with the correct capitalization on the first of them (uppercase if preceded by a point, or lowercase if preceded by a comma).

My questions are: Is the scheme above already implemented? If so, which parameters are to be used? If not, can it be implemented? If so, can someone give me the right directions to implement it?

 

Regards,

Miguel

You would have to code those options yourself, but can't you use the following:

{vol. %Volume%{, no. %NumberVolume%}{, iss. %Issue%}}{no. %NumberVolume%{, iss. %Issue%}}{iss. %Issue%}

That wouldn't solve the capitalisztion issue, but neither would adding those options to the formatting as you don't have knowledge of what was before. I think the capitalization issue could only be solved by the cleanup routine. It already removes things like ',.' so I'm guessing you could extend it to introduce capitalization.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

For now I have solved the problem as you suggested, but I will try to to implement the capitalization as you suggested.

Aim: I want the "Year" to appear twice: after the author names with the associated suffix (just for reference proposes), and after the journal name/vol/no/iss/pages without the suffix. (My bibliographic style is derived from the Harvard-Anglia style.)

To accomplish this, I have declared the year to be repeatable (:r option).

 

Here is my definition for journal articles:

        <bibliography>
            ...
            <source type="JournalArticle">
                <column id="1">
                    <halign>left</halign>
                    <valign>top</valign>
                    <format>
                        {%Author:2|"Anon."%}
                        { (%Year:r|"n.d."%{%YearSuffix%}),}
                        { "%Title%".}
                        { <i>%JournalName%</i>,}
                        { vol. %Volume%{, no. %NumberVolumes%}{, iss. %Issue%}{, %Pages:p. :pp. : a2%},}
                        { no. %NumberVolumes%{, iss. %Issue%}{, %Pages:p. :pp. : a2%},}
                        { iss. %Issue%{, %Pages:p. :pp. : a2%},}
                        { %Year%.}
                        { %StandardNumber%.}
                        { (Available at <u>%URL:l%</u>{, %Comments%.})}
                        { (%Comments%.)}
                    </format>
                </column>
                <sortkey>{%Author:0|"Anon."%}{%Year|"n.d."%}{%Title:a%}</sortkey>
            </source>
            ...
       </bibliography>

 

Here is the corresponding extensions definition:

        <extensions>
            ...
            <source type="JournalArticle">
                <yearsuffix>{%Author:1|"Anon."%}{%Year|"n.d."%}</yearsuffix>
            </source>
            ...
        </extensions>

 

Here are three output examples (all of them declared as "JournalArticle"):

Bohr N. (1913a), "I. On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules". Philosophical Magazine Series 6, vol. 26, iss. 151, pp. 1-25,

Bohr N. (1913b), "XXXVII. On the constitution of atoms and molecules".Philosophical Magazine Series 6, vol. 26, Iss. 153, pp. 476-502, DOI: 10.1080/14786441308634993.

Brown B. A. (2000), "Neutron Radii in Nuclei and the Neutron Equation of State".Physical Review Letters, vol. 85, iss. 25, pp. 5296-99, 2000. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.5296.

 

The problem: In the third entry, which does not have the year suffix, the year is correctly repeated, but in the first and second entries the year is not repeated.

My guesses: some how, once the suffix is applied the "Year" variable 1) can no longer be repeated, or 2) is no longer valid, and probably is stored under a different name (but this does not make much sense to me, since it is used in its first occurrence).

My questions: Am I doing something wrong? If so, where? If not, how can I accomplish the goal of repeating the year?

 

Regards,

Miguel

Do they understand me?

Thanks very much.

I upgraded my Office from 2010 to 2013 RTM recently, but unfortunately the ABNT style stoped working. I tried moving it to &quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Bibliography\Style&quot; but the style isn't loaded to the styles list. It seens that the style structure has changed, but I was not able to find instructions about it. It'd be very welcome if this style was upgraded or at least any directions was given.

Any news? I'm having the same issue here.

I found a solution! -> [http://bibword.codeplex.com/discussions/404418](http://bibword.codeplex.com/discussions/404418)
I changed the lines according [yves](http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/yves)'s instructions, and then I made a copy of the new XSL file to the path: "C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Bibliography\Style", like [NehemiahAdon86](http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/NehemiahAdon86) said ;)

I found a way in another post at the Discussion area.
Put these two new elements __<xsl:when ..>__ between the existing ones:

```
<!-- Handle the different types of input documents. -->
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:choose>

<!-- Sets a dummy version number. -->
<xsl:when test="b:XslVersion">
<xsl:text>10</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>

<!-- We do not do localization, just use the default name. -->
<xsl:when test="b:StyleNameLocalized">
<xsl:value-of select="msxsl:node-set($data)/general/stylename"/>
</xsl:when>

<!-- Gets the name of the style as it will be displayed in Word 2007. -->
<xsl:when test="b:StyleName">

Comments: ** Comment from web user: Yves **

Sorry but from your explaination it is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve.

If you just use the %URL% variable then the URL will be displayed as ordinary text inside your bibliography. If you use the l parameter, so %URL:l% the URL will be displayed as a clickable link.

If you want to make an entire entry a clickable link, then you might try &lt;a href='{%URL%}'&gt;the rest of your entry here.&gt;/a:&lt; . Basically the same thing you would do when introducing bold, italics, ...

But I would advise against that approach as it is highly unlikely that you will have a URL for each entry.

When I have some time I will enclose this in the next release so stuff works out of the box with Office 2013.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: fisher1 **

Actually I am interested in the second variant you described. I'll try your solution. Probably it would be better to have not entire entry a clickable but only a number before the entry. The first variant works well. But a URL could be very long sometimes and I don't want to show entire link while keeping it alive

New Post: Displaying ",et al." without using the "max_number_of_persons_to_display" feature

Hi !

First of all, thanks a lot because BibWord really makes Word bibliography customization easy !

My problem is quite simple. I built my own style by editing the Vancouver template, and almost everything works great.

I have several journal articles for which I only have one or two authors, but there are more of them and I don't know who they are.

Thus, I would like to display the two author's names following by ", et al.".

This issue cannot be solved with the "max_number_of_persons_to_display" option because I also use this option with articles having more than 6 authors, then "et al." is perfectly displayed. But my problematic case doesn't fit in this category.

Unfortunately there is no option to state "there are other authors but I don't know who they are so please append et al".

Any idea how I could overcome this issue ?

Thanks a lot !

The easiest 'workaround' I can think of is to use the corporate author option for that. You would have to format the author you know manually, but you can add et al without any problem. Corporate contributors are normally not formatted.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I tried using the corporate field and it does the job. I will use this trick.

Anyway, the best fix would be to have an "add et al." checkbox in the Word's References Manager UI, but this is out the scope of BibWord.

I was also thinking of a tick with BibWord, for example, we add an author in the author list whose last name is "a" only (no first/middle name, or use any other keyword instead of "a"), and then XSLT could be used to replace this author by ", et al.". But my mastery of XSLT is too low to set up something like this.
