smaller font size must be used for the reference list #37

Closed afcuttin closed 6 years ago

afcuttin commented 7 years ago

If I use this style with BibLaTeX, the references section is typeset using the same font size as the normal text (font size 10). Instead, a smaller font size must be used (font size 8), as in the IEEEtran.bst file provided with the IEEEtran class.

The recommended font sizes are given here: http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~jca/wrsc/templates/IEEE-Conference-A4-format.pdf

All true, but that's a feature of the document class not the bibliography style.

afcuttin commented 7 years ago

So you think that the font size must be set separately?

For example, like this? \renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\footnotesize}

@afcuttin It's not part of the bibliography style (which is things like the ordering and formatting of fields), so 'yes'. You can use the IEEE bibliography style for lots of things: in a thesis for example the document will be one column and have larger text than in a paper ...

I see and I may agree, nevertheless, if I switch to bibtex, the references section is formatted properly
