<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for a BibTeX Format File and/or
package</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which formats citations in a way which is
usual in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>german arts texts:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- all citation should appear as footnotes (could be
solved</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> by \footnote{\cite{...}})</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the first citation of a book should look like
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> \textsc{[name]}: \emph{[title]}. [issue].
[pub] [year], [page]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> eg.: KANT, Immanuel: Critique of Pure
Reason. 1st Issue. Riga 1786, p. 23</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- all following citations from the same source
should</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> skip unnecessary information:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> eg.: KANT, Immanuel: loc. cit., p.
127</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> a citation from the same page should look
like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> KANT, Immanuel: ibid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there are two problems to solve: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the format: I already figured out, that BibTeX is
capable</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> of complex formatting. There should be no
problem to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> format the author in small caps,
etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the skipping: I don't know, if BibTex is capable
of this sort</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> of processing, which is rather complex. It
should also be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> possible to change the abbreviations. eg.
use "a.a.O." instead</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> of "loc. cit."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wolfgang</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
