- AMSRefs
The AMSRefs package is an extension package for
LATEX that facilitates the creation of bibliographies and citationsin LATEX documents. Use of AMSRefs allows for the retention of rich markup that makes references easier to reusein other publishing environments, such as on the Web, inother book or journal formats, or with citation services.The package is available for free on the AMS website.The purpose of AMSRefs is to provide a simpler, moreflexible way to use many of the convenient bibliographyand citation features that users of
LATEX andBibTeX havecome to expect. AMSRefs has been carefully designed toencourage the preservation of structured markup of thebibliography throughout the entire lifetime of a document, from rough draft to final archival version. It doesthis by replacing the unstructured .bbl file format of LATEXby a new, fully structured format. The package is compatible with the “showkeys”, “hyperref”, and “backrefs”packages and implements the functionality of the popular “cite” package. One of the advantages of AMSRefs isthat the bibliography style is controlled completely throughLATEX instead of being determined partly by a BibTeX stylefile and partly through LATEX. Another advantage is that thesame data format is used in the database file and in theLATEX document. Thus an AMSRefs-format database is a validLATEX document that can be printed directly. Also, an authorcan send an article with embedded references to a publisher without any loss of internal structural informationabout the entries. It is possible to use theAMSRefs package without abandoning one’s existingBibTeX database files.External links
