BibArts is a package to administer bibliographical references in footnotes, and for creating a bibliography from these references simultaneously; it requires a program, for which source and Windows executable are provided. === bibarts.sty provides commands for quotation, register keywords, abbreviations, and especially for a formatted citation of literature, journals (periodicals), published documents, and unpublished archive documents. You have to say \usepackage{bibarts} in your [file].tex; then, you can use \vli{FirstName}{LastName}{The \ktit{Title} etc.} for full references to literature, and \kli{LastName}{Title} for shortened references. \printvli will print your List of Literature. === Changes from BibArts version 2.4 (2022[a]) to version 2.5 (now, 2022b): (1) You may now put curly brackets around the \ktit{shortened title}, e.g.: \vli {K.} {Mayer} {The \textbf {\ktit{Book}}, Frankfurt/M.}. Older versions, despite \announcektit, did not print "(cited as ...)" in that case. Now, this error has been fixed, and \vli prints correctly: K. Mayer: The Book, Frankfurt/M. (cited as Mayer: Book [L]). 2) bibarts.sty now searches for a full stop at the end of the last argument of \vli commands. So, you may set \notannouncektit, and you will get: K. Mayer: The Book, Frankfurt/M. (BibArts 2.5 automatically prints "." instead of ".." at the end.) (3) BibArts now supports the name-year system. In this feature, the last argument of a shortened reference \kli consists of the year of publication (instead of a few words from the full title). In this new system, you also use \ktit in the full reference \vli, but in the optional *{argument} as: \footnote{\vli {J.} {Smith} *{\onlyvoll{\ktit{2022}}} {An Alternative}.} ... \footnote{\kli {Smith} {2022}.} %% <= automatically prints IBIDEM. The \ktit in the *{argument} of the full reference \vli has to be masked by \onlyvoll; only then, BibArts will print IBIDEM, if \kli{Smith}{2022} is in the following footnote. Instead of especially *{\onlyvoll{\ktit{2022}}}, you may use *{\starktit{2022}} as a shorter synonym; also see ba-short.pdf. After a start of the BibArts program bibsort, and a second start of LaTeX, \printvli prints the List of Literature from the given name-year example as: Smith, J. 2022: An Alternative. (4) Anyway, \ktit now is no more necessarily in the last argument of a \vli command. The new bibsort tells you whether you have always chosen the same argument (where "arg 3" means the optional *{argument}, and "arg 4" the last argument). To get the new features, bibsort, and bibarts.sty, both need to be updated to version 2.5. bibsort is sometimes referred to as bibarts-bin. (5) bibsort now knows further eleven UTF-8 characters (according to the changes in utf8enc.dfu from version 2021/06/21 v1.2n to 2022/06/07 v1.3c). === Published under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
