Re: [Bibdesk-users] Bibdesk punctuation question
Dear Joe,
This is actually a BibTeX question, as it's BibTeX that
controls the formatting of the bibliographic data. I
haven't found a .bst file that formats as you request,
though I'm sure one exists (if for no other reason
than typography guru Robert Bringhurst recommends one
put little or no space between initials).
Assuming you can't get the journal to supply you with
an appropriate bibliography style file, then here, very
roughly, is what you need to do:
(a) Make a copy of the bibliography style file you want
to modify, say abbrvnat.bst. Call it myAbbrvnat.bst,
or whatever, and put it where tex (rather, bibtex)
will find it when processing your document. And,
of course, make sure your document specifies that
new, private, bibliography style.
(b) In your private .bst file, you should find a function
called FUNCTION {format.names}. A few lines below,
inside the function definition, you will see some
text similar to
s nameptr {f.~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj} format.name$
^ this controls the formatting
of the first name. (The single
'f', for example tells bibtex to abbreviate the
first name.)
(c) Change that line to read
s nameptr {f{.}.~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj} format.name$
(d) Actually, the style you request has the last name
before the initials, so the quoted string above will
more likely read {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f.}, which you
would then change to read {vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f{.}.}.
(e) Re-run bibtex, then latex. Voilà.
If you want BibDesk also to use your new .bst file, then
you will want to put it in a more central location. I
haven't tested this, but ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/
should do the job. Then modify your BibDesk preferences
accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
-Dan
PS: For *lots* more information on BibTeX, look in your
tex distribution for tamethebeast. (TeXShop's Help
Show Help for Package ... will find it for you.)

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to format the author field of a template
without the space between an authors initials (when an author has two
initials)?
When using the template modifier (for $authors): abbreviatedNormalizedName
it yields:
Mott, D. D., Rojas, A., Fisher, J. L., Dingledine, R. J.,
Rather, I would like to have:
Mott, D.D., Rojas, A., Fisher, J.L., Dingledine, R.J.,
I know it's subtle, but some journals require this format for references,
Joe

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Harvard Style Thesis
Not really a comment about BibDesk, but ... If you're using a recent version of TeXShop, then the menu item Help : Show Help for Package... brings up a dialog. Type in 'harvard' (all lower case, no quotes) and darn if the documentation doesn't popup for you. Good luck! -Dan On 3 Apr 2009, at 14:18, Rolf Schmolling wrote: Hi, without having had a look (because I donot use Harvard style), there is a package with a harvard-style for bibtex.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Question about using macros
Nathan, don't get discouraged with the macros: they're essential. With journal titles, for example, if a different abbreviation is demanded of you, then you change it in just one place. -Dan On 23 Feb 2009, at 10:50, Nathan Paxton wrote: This feature is support for bibtex's macros.

I hadn't realized that Macros were one of the advanced things I should avoid interest in. I shall try to be less curious from here on.
