Hi there,

 

After a half year being the texmacs user, I become get used to this stuff and loved to use it. Unfortunately, I got new problem for the use of natbib style of bibliography in texmacs windows version as most of paper in my area are using this kind of reference style.

 

I tried to work out this problem issue by myself in past days. There are some things I should to report to you.

 

Normally, to get natbib working, we need two additional things first. natbib.sty and plainnat.bst which I enclosed for your test on this msg.

 

1. Miktex 2.5: the Wintexmacs is relying on the Miktex system v2.4 not v2.5. If Miktex v2.5 installed, the wintexmacs can not find Miktex at all, and Miktex said on their web site that they won't give any support to v2.4, even provide download. Therefore, it should remind you to develop new Wintexmacs to match with Miktex v2.5
2. Bib style setup: For Miktex, all basic bib style setup files (bst format) are stored in the folder c:\texmf\bibtex\bst, and sty files are kept in the various subfolder under the folder c:\texmf\tex\latex, but no idea where should I put natbib.sty in.
3. Call in natbib: In Wintexmacs, I add the natbib package from document\add package\other, it seems working as there is notice on the bottom status bar, and we know that natbib package has been provided by Miktex in c:\texmf\tpm\packages. But If I inserts bibliography from Text\Automatic\Bibliography with plainnat style and update this bibliography automatically as usual as I did with normal plain/alpha style, but nothing came out.

I think the calling in natbib package should be exception for any tex processor system, but we definitely need to work it out in the current Wintexmacs.

 

I really my reporting on my attempt to use natbib will let you understand my questions, it is much appreciated to have your suggestion very soon

 

Regards

 

Jack
