On the scale of "tools that solve problems" vs. "tools that create problems" (cf. http://xkcd.com/1343/ ;)), it is located on the far right. (For instance, to be able to customize its bibliography style, you could (a) give up, (b) use some user-friendly (or not) front-end, having less power than BibTeX itself (obviously!), or (c) learn BibTeX's own, very peculiar, stack-based ad-hoc language grown to describe bibliography styles. Not good. Also, if you're unlucky and you write in some non-English language, well, you're unlucky with BibTeX, especially if e.g. your name starts with a non-Latin letter. Etc.) Use biblatex instead. It's more modern, it's being supported, it knowns that there exist things like UTF-8 and non-English languages, it supports more citation styles etc. > Best, > Richard Best, --=20 Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
