[texhax] i'm using natbib and chapterbib but cannot getthebibliographies to appear in separate chapters of the book?any ideas?

[Steve Schwartz]

Philip,

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that there is a more elegant way than
the one I posted to Ludwig.

As I said at the very beginning of all this, there was some reason why
we tried and failed to use chapterbib for our book (I think it was a
clash with kluwer's style files somewhere) which is why we came up with
the workaround I've now posted to the world in all its gory detail. At
least it works (and you've even suggested an occasion where it would
need to be done that way, though we DID have bibliographies at the end
of each chapter).

I can well imagine that my \input of the .bbl's is superfluous if
chapterbib is used correctly (that would seem to be the point of writing
a package called chapterbib). I'll read the docs when (if) I ever have
to write another book.

Cheers,
Steve
