Bibliography Modernization #87

Open dwsideriusNIST opened 3 years ago

dwsideriusNIST commented 3 years ago

Let's create a wish-list for modernizing the bibliography style for LiveCoMS

  1. Add 'Accessed on _' note to electronic content, including software repositories
  2. Evaluate biber/biblatex as a replacement for BibTeX. First step should be to identify a biblatex style that gets us close to the current bibliography format. [@dwsideriusNIST: have to learn how to write a style for biber.]
  3. Allow URLs to break at hyphenation. This can be handled with BibTex by adding the following line to an article preamble

\usepackage{url} \def\UrlBreaks{\do\/\do-}

Solution may be different for biber/biblatex

Does the fix in #88 address point 3 above?

davidlmobley commented 2 years ago

I think so, @mrshirts , or at least partly -- but your fix is only for the GItHub URL, right? I think this also deals with ANY url. Or does your fix cover all URLs?

If you've tested it out and it works, maybe just let us know and we'll merge?

dwsideriusNIST commented 2 years ago

@davidlmobley I also tested the fix from #88 for the bibliography and confirmed that it works. I will submit the PR connected to #88 and then revise this issue
