     1 To comment out part of an entry in BibTeX, you can use:

     2 

     3 	@Comment{body of text}

     4 

     5 If you wish to comment out the entire entry, just remove the @ sign in

     6 front of the entry type (i.e., get rid of the '@' in "@Book").

     7 

     8 *************************************************************************

     9 

    10 You can specify fixed strings (say if you needed to use it multiple

    11 times in your BibTeX file) with the @String command:

    12 

    13 	@String(Leslie-Lamport = {Leslie Lamport})

    14 

    15 and then you could use it in various entries:

    16 

    17 	@Book{latex,

    18 		Author = Leslie-Lamport,

    19 		Title = "\LaTeX",

    20 		...

    21 		Year = "1993"}

    22 

    23 *************************************************************************

    24 

    25 The required fields are not prefaced with OPT.  Those that are optional

    26 *are* prefaced with OPT (remember to delete those three characters should

    27 you wish to use those fields).

    28 

    29 [Note:

    30      For most entry types the "author" information is simply the AUTHOR

    31 field.  However:  For the @Book and @Inbook entry types it's the AUTHOR

    32 field, but if there's no author then it's the EDITOR field; for the

    33 @Manual entry type it's the AUTHOR field, but if there's no author then

    34 it's the ORGANIZATION field; and for the @Proceedings entry type it's

    35 the EDITOR filed, but if there's no editor then it's the ORGANIZATION

    36 field.]

    37 

    38 To use this, just have your main.tex specify the following:

    39 

    40 	\bibliography{main}

    41 	\bibliographystyle{plain}

    42 

    43 There are several options for bibliographystyle:

    44 

    45         plain   normal style - listed in ABC order and labeled numerically

    46         unsrt   same as plain except entries appear in order of citation

    47         alpha   same as plain except entry labels are used

    48         abbrv   same as plain except uses abbreviations for first names,

    49                 month names, and journal names

    50 

    51 Now that you have the basis for a bibliography, you have to run both

    52 latex and bibtex on the document.  First, you should run latex (to

    53 create a foo.aux file, which bibtex reads).  Then run bibtex once to get

    54 some of the citations and create a .bbl file.  Then run latex again so

    55 that the cross references between the text file and the bibliography are

    56 correct.  You may want to repeat running bibtex and latex on the file to

    57 make sure that all cross references are correct.  Be warned that

    58 adding/deleting citations and sources will require running bibtex again.
