BibTeX special features

It is very important to use the key word "and" when referring to more than one author.

If you choose to use BibTeX seriously, then you should get familiar with the way it works. A good documentation can be found in the appendix of the standard LaTeX book by Leslie Lamport, A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley. Here I only want to point out the way author names should be entered:

FirstName1 LastName1 and FirstName2 LastName2 and FirstName3 LastName3...

Middle names can simply be put in between. This format should also be used for later usage in Microsoft Word. WibTeX will deal with the necessary formatting.

The database format

Since version 6, WibTeX manages its data in a propriatary format. Data maybe exchanged via the import/export to the BibTeX text file format or, alternatively, via the CSV table format, which can be read by Microsoft Excel, among other applications.
