[biblio] Bibligraphy without square brackets

[Igor Nova M]

Hi Oren,

I found the solution here ->
http://compgroups.net/comp.text.tex/Bibliography-Question

"
Try adding the following lines in the preamble:

\usepackage{ifthen}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@cite[2]{%
Ref.~#1\ifthenelse{\boolean{@tempswa}}
{, \nolinebreak[3] #2}{}
}
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{#1.}
\makeatother
"
I don't understand (not yet) how to code that, but it works.

Thank you for you quickly answer.

Saludos,
Me.
