[OS X TeX] Basic question on BibTex

[Winfried Zettelmeyer]

Johan, Herbert, Paul,
thanks a lot. I read the Latex Tricks and followed the other advice  
and get a beautiful Reference list now.

However, I want references to appear in the respective footnotes AND  
in the Reference list.
If I drag and drop a TeX cite command into the source file, only a  
bracketed reference list entry number without title appears in  
the .pdf text, the title only shows in the Reference list. If I drag/ 
drop a RTF description, the title appears in the .pdf, but not in the  
Reference list. Enclosing it with \footnote sends it down to the  
bottom of the page where I want it to be. Only additionally including  
a \cite command as in
<\footnote{\cite{Milton2000Complete-W}[1]P. Milton. Complete works,  
2000.}>
makes the title also appear in the Reference list, but the footnote  
is now shown with 2 reference numbers such as
<[1][1]P. Milton. Complete works, 2000.>
Apart from that, there is the hassle of switching the citation  
preferences forth and back to produce this result.
Leslie Lamport does not explain how to do it nor do Peter Newbury's  
Latex Tricks. What is the REAL solution? I am certain I am missing  
some TeX magic here.

It sound to me like you haven't run bibtex on the file. To understand  
how bibtex works, read

Especially the following part:
