  3. 2. This is a quick fix for bibliographies in the Apple [[Pages=>http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/]] wordprocessor. It works with BibTex bibliography files. It is just proof of concept at the moment. It only does author year type citations and produces the bibliography in a random order.
  4. 2. This is a quick fix for bibliographies in the Apple Pages wordprocessor. It works with BibTex bibliography files and creates numbered or author-year citations. It does not depend on TeX or BibTex, but makes use of them if installed. It works, but not reliably - see the BUGS section below.

Note that this is only used to work out what cites look like in the text, and what order they should appear in the references. The look of the reference should be governed by:

  28. 46. </PRE>
  29. 51. These define the style of the bibliography. Any formatting applied to the words in this will be applied to citations in the final output. Make sure you press return after defining the last of these. If each one is not in a separate paragraph it will have trouble. The word citeref can be used to have the system insert the reference number if you are using a numbered citation style.
