To use BibTeX in a LaTeX document, a bibliography style file (bst file) has to be selected and included as the argument of a \bibliographystyle command.

bst files differ in their features, and the output produced by the conversion algorithm depends on the bst file specified when the source file is uploaded.

This page lists the bst files about which I currently have information. As additional bst files are entered by users in the file-upload form, I will investigate their properties (e.g. the fields they support) and add them to this list. (If you enter a bst file not on this list, the conversion algorithm assumes some default properties for it.)

When you click on the name of a file in this list below, its properties that are relevant to the conversion algorithm and the output it generates for the following sample document and bib file are shown.

Here is the LaTeX code for the sample document, in this case using the mla style (with natbib).

The \marginpar code in the title field for each entry produces the text in the right margin of the sample document indicating the type of each item. It would not, of course, be included in a real bib file.

Click on the name of a file to see properties of the style (field = supported, field = unsupported) and the sample document generated using that style.
