Bibliography

• Two types of declarations:
  1. Simple bibliography

     % ...
     \begin{document}
     % ...
     \begin{thebibliography}{LONGEST_KEY}
     \bibitem[KEY]{KEY} <entry>
     \end{thebibliography}
     % ...
     \end{document}
     

  2. Proper bibliography

     % ...
     \bibliographystyle{plain}
     % ...
     \begin{document}
     % ...
     \bibliography{BIBFILE}
     % ...
     \end{document}
     

     You will have to create a BIBFILE.bib in the current directory.

• Referencing bibliography items:

  \cite{KEY}
  

• Bibtex command line:

  bibtex <file>
  

  By setting the environment variable BIBINPUTS you can save your .bib file in a different directory
