I am pleased to an­nounce the re­lease of a new BibTeX Tips and FAQ doc­u­ment on CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/bib­lio/bib­tex/con­trib/doc/ (as btxFAQ.pdf). Orig­i­nally based on a 1998 post to comp.text.tex, "Do we need a BibTeX FAQ?" by David Hoadley, I've added a lot of ma­te­rial to cover the types of prob­lems most fre­quently en­coun­tered by BibTeX users. The BibTeX Tips and FAQ is not in­tended to re­place the ex­ist­ing BibTeX lit­er­a­ture, but rather to com­ple­ment them: 1. Oren Patash­nik's "BibTeXing" 2. Ni­co­las Markey's "Tame the BeaST --- The B to X of BibTeX" 3. Ki-Joo Kim's "A BibTeX Guide via Ex­am­ples" 4. Robin Fair­bairns' "The TeX FAQ" 5. Helge Kreutz­mann's "How to Ef­fi­ciently Use BibTeX" and to help di­rect read­ers to these other sources of in­for­ma­tion for a more in depth treat­ment of the top­ics at hand. I sin­cerely hope that BibTeX users will find it to be of help. En­joy! Michael Shell
