BibTex question
I have a LyX file with BibTex entries and everything works fine. Now here is my question: When I add citation references, they appear in Bibliography section in the order which I inserted them. I would like to have my Bibliography ordered alphabetically (based on the first author's last name). How should I approach this? The reference numbers in the actual document don't have to be chronological. Also, I like to have all entries in my BibTex database in my Bibliography, not only the ones which are cited. How should I do this? Thanks, MRD.
bibtex question
Hi lyx users, How can I change the vertical space between entries of the bibtex section? I need to change the space between the bib entries, but do not change the vertical space in other parts of the document. In default, there is a line space which I want to ommit. Thanks in advance for any help, Liad Blumrosen.

RE: BibTex question
"ieeetr" is my BibTex style. When I put the \cite*, still the referenced citings come at the beginning of the Bibliography. For example my first reference in the document refers to a person with a last name starting with "K". The bibliography's first reference will be this entry plus the rest of the dB records, in the order which they are stored in the BibTex dB.

To sort alphabetically, the way authors' names are typed in is important - Someone, A. and Otherone, B. and Lastone, C. D. gives bibTeX explicit indication upon separation between lastname and initials (or first names) using commas; - Allan Someone and Bill Otherone and Christian D. Lastone assumes that the lastname is the last and manages with second initial, composed names (Charles de Gaulle, Eric von Stroheim) and modifiers (Jr) Check that your database format complies to either syntax (which can be mixed of course). Another way, if you find bibTeX not enough complete about sorting, is to use unsorted style on a sorted bas by other means (here Nelson Beebe's bibsort does it). -- Jean-Pierre

Put
\renewcommand{\@openbib@code}{\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}}
in the preamble (this will work in the standard classes article/report/book).
You might need to put negative space instead of 0pt.
Quick BibTeX question...
How can I print a ~ (tilde) in an article title? I don't want to put the tilde over a letter (like in some Spanish words) I want it to appear on its own. Any ideas? Thanks everyone! Sarah
Simple bibtex question
I'm rewriting a booklet using bibtex for my bibliography. It comes out fine in the plain style (and also works with the other styles that come pre-installed) but I need it in MLA style. I've downloaded the mla.sty file into .../texmf/bibtex/bst/base but when I invoke it from LyX, I get no bibliography at all. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks, Robin

\~{} works fine with me in a bib file.
Re: Quick BibTeX question...
How about \textasciitilde{} ?

Is there something else I should be doing? did you run texhash after saving mla.sty? a better dir for style-files is /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex/ Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/
Re: Simple bibtex question
If I'm not mistaken, a sty would go in the latex, not the bibtex tree. But I
doubt that makes a diff to your problem. The way I understand it, a sty would
handle formatting the citations--author/date parenthetical, etc.--in the
document itself. The sty is included in the preamble (\usepackage{mla}). But
this doesn't get you a bibliography. A bst is required for creation of the
bibliography, and is invoked from the \bibliographystyle{} command.
So barring more informed advice, look for the mla.bst and get that installed.

Sorry, I meant to say "mla.bst" not "mla.sty"! What I need to know is
what else I need to do other than sticking it in the tree.
Tried texhash, but all I got was a bunch of error messages caused by LyX
interpreting my citations as LaTeX commands.
