4. BibTeX Sources Bibliography SLR tools Conclusions 5 / 54 LATEX • LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport at SRI International • LaTeX is a document preparation system: it uses plain text as opposed to the WYSIWYG (”what you see is what you get”) • Markup tagging conventions to define the general structure of a document • Distributions such as TeX Live or MikTeX are used to produce an output file (such as PDF or DVI) suitable for printing or digital distribution. • LaTeX is widely used in academia for the communication and publication of scientific documents in many fields • LaTeX can be used as a standalone document preparation system, or as an intermediate format: sometimes is part of a pipeline for translating from other formats (XML-based formats) to PDF

5. BibTeX Sources Bibliography SLR tools Conclusions 6 / 54 BIBTEX • Reference management software for formatting lists of references. • Used together with the LaTeX document preparation system. • Facilitate the citation of sources in a consistent manner, by separating bibliographic information from the presentation of this information, • similarly to the separation of content and presentation/style supported by LaTeX

6. BibTeX Sources Bibliography SLR tools Conclusions 7 / 54 FILES INVOLVED • BibTeX chooses from the .bib file(s) only those entries specified by the .aux file (that is, those given by LaTeX’s cite or nocite commands), • It then creates as output a .bbl file containing these entries together with the formatting commands specified by the .bst file. • LaTeX will use the .bbl file (possibly edited) to produce the reference list.
