notes2bib - Integrating notes into the bibliography

The notes2bib package defines a new type of note, bibnote, which will always be added to the bibliography. The package allows footnotes and endnotes to be moved into the bibliography in the same way. The package can be used with natbib and biblatex as well as plain LaTeX citations. Both sorted and unsorted bibliography styles are supported.

Installation

The package is supplied in .dtx format and as a pre-extracted .zip file, notes2bib.tds.zip. The later is most convenient for most users: simply unzip this in your local texmf directory. If you want to unpack the .dtx yourself, running tex notes2bib.dtx will extract the package whereas latexnotes2bib.dtx will extract it and also typeset thedocumentation.

The package requires LaTeX3 support as provided in the l3kernel and l3packages bundles. Both of these are available on CTAN as ready-to-install .zip files. Suitable versions are available in MiKTeX 2.9 and TeX Live 2012 (updating the relevant packages online may be necessary). LaTeX3, and so notes2bib, requires the ε-TeX extensions: these are available on all modern TeX systems.

Typesetting the documentation requires a number of packages in addition to those needed to use the package. This is mainly because of the number of demonstration items included in the text. To compile the documentation without error, you will need the packages:

• csquotes
• helvet
• mathpazo
• listings
