Sorry, but concerning the first part of my electronic-mail letter there was
one very important thing in which my procedure failed.---The numbering of
the references was not sequentially in the order in which I cited the
references using a command of the form \cite{....} in my text! But
gratefully I found a way that worked to solve that problem.
I switched from \usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib} to \usepackage{natbib}.
And I switched from \bibliographystyle{plainnat} to
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}.
I kept some other important commands the same, namely commands of the form
..
\usepackage{...............,hyperref,hypernat}
..
\bibpunct{}{,}{n}{}{}
\begin{document}
..
\bibliography{MyDotBibFileNameWithoutAPeriodOrExtension}
\end{document}
.
Then afterwards in a test gratefully it appeared that the order of my citing
references in text matched the order in which those references were
numbered.
I wanted a way to have the reference numbers in citations in text not have
parentheses around them, the format I think the journal Physical Review C
used or accepted in 1985. The method I discuss here gratefully accomplished
that goal as far as the looks of reference citations within text were
concerned.

Subject: Re: [l2h] In my LaTeX2HTML-produced,.html file the references don't
look good. What am I missing?
Hello again. When using the software package natbib and its bibliographic
style file plainnat.bst in a .tex file gratefully I learned a way to
obtain reference numbers both on the base line of text and as superscripts
in both the .dvi file produced by the September 24, 2009 version of LaTeX
2e and the .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML 1.71 (These are automatically
numbered reference numbers corresponding to reference keys, for example
"RAT92" for the reference M. Rath and L. Pauling, J. Orthomolecular
Medicine 7(1), 5 (1992), in a special format in a .bib file.). In the
.tex file that uses natbib and its plainnat.bst for plain reference
numbers with no parentheses or brackets or pairs of something else
surrounding them and for commas to separate a series of reference numbers,
include the command
\bibpunct{}{}{,}{n}{}
in the .tex file. (I think the "n" stands for numeric reference citations
on the base line of the text. Instead of "n" an "s" there would stand for
superscripted numbers for the reference citations. I think the references
are supposed to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the
.tex document.) This will replace the numerical reference equivalent of
\cite{RAT92} on the base line of text with the reference number
corresponding to the example reference key "RAT92" of a reference with
data for it listed in a .bib file. The LaTeX command $^{\cite{RAT92}}$ in
the .tex file will corresponded to that reference number as well, but
superscripted. A beautiful thing about this procedure is that gratefully
1) it worked this way for reference numbers, both on the base line of text
and as superscripts, in both the .dvi file produced by using the September
24, 2009 version of LaTeX 2e with BibTeX 0.99d and the .html file produced
by LaTeX2HTML 1.71. So using natbib and its plainnat.bst with the line
\bib{}{}{,}{n}{} in the .tex file it is as if \cite{...} becomes the
equivalent of REVTeX 4.1's \onlinecite{...}, where here I think online
refers to having the reference number appear on the base line of text, not
to being on the Internet. Done in this way a new command does not have to
be made for a custom \onlinecite{...} built for use with natbib like the
\onlinecite{...} command that works with REVTeX 4.1. So 2) this avoids
the problem of LaTeX2HTML 1.71 not "recognizing" the citenum variable or
command that was used in the custom-built \onlinecite{...} command!
Furthermore when using natbib and plainnat.bst it appeared that I obtained
similar-looking references in my bibliography without using the
revtex-custom.bib file discussed at
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15677/revtex-4-1-bibliography-style-in-other-classes
on the Internet.
Now I discuss a different problem of an internal hyperlink in my table of
contents, which is called "Contents," to "Bibliography" not working. That
is in a .tex file the statements \tableofcontents and
\bibliography{MyBib}, where MyBib.bib is a file with the fictitious name
MyBib.bib containing reference data, produced A) the hyperlinked entry
"Bibliography" in "Contents" and B) the heading "Bibliography" appearing
in the .dvi and .html files corresponding to where the equivalent of
\bibliography{MyBib} was placed in the .tex file. But in the .html file
produced by LaTeX2HTML 1.71 clicking on that hyperlink did not "take" me
to the "Bibliography" heading above the list of references in my document.
Here is a "workaround" solution for that problem. With .html file open in
a Web browser one can right-button-click on its contents and select "View
Document Source" or something similar to that. In my Konqueror Web
browser that opened a text editor, in my case the text editor called Kate.
Then I could see the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code for that .html
file. For the fictitious file name MyFile.html it looked equivalent to
this at the "Bibliography" entry in the "Contents:"
<LI><A NAME="tex2html139"
HREF="MyFile.html#SECTION00700000000000000000>Bibliography</A>
</UL>
. Then at the section of my document headed by "Bibliography" the HTML
code looked equivalent to this:
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTIONREF">Bibliography</A>
</H2>
......
In this case replacing "SECTIONREF" with "SECTION00700000000000000000" and
then saving the file in the text editor Kate was probably enough to make
the "Bibliography" internal hyperlink in "Contents" work. I wanted to
have Bibligraphy numbered in both locations, too, since it was not
numbered for me by using the -show_section_numbers option in my latex2html
command. So in addition I changed "Bibliography" to "6 Bibliography" in
each of the two locations in the above document source code. Is there a
LaTeX command one can use to make that "Bibliography" internal hyperlink
in "Contents" work without the need to edit the HTML document source code
in the .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML 1.71? Adding something like
\label{Refs}
\section{Bibliography}
ahead of \bibliography{MyBib} I think resulted in hyperlinked
"Bibliography" being listed twice in "Contents" and probably also with two
instances of "Bibliography" appearing further down in the document, in
each case doubling that I don't want.

Hello again. I found a good hint for what one of my troubles could have
been from Erwin at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/d2a363b56272c543/4553d7b2e2ef9db9?show_docid=4553d7b2e2ef9db9.
He found that the bibliographic style file plainnat.bst of Natbib could
be used to avoid a problem between Natbib and apsrev4-1.bst. I
substituted plainnat.bst for apsrev4-1.bst in my .tex file using the
package natbib and gratefully obtained a not perfect, but reasonably
good-looking set of references in the .html (HyperText Markup Language)
file produced by LaTeX2HTML. The custom \onlinecite{..} command did not
work in the .html file, though, to put automatically numbered reference
numbers on the base line of text. My "workaround" solution for that was
to change textual references like, as a not necessarily real example for
discussion purposes, "according to reference \onlinecite{RAT92}" to
"according to the superscripted reference$^{\cite{RAT92}}$". That is in
my .tex document I changed all of the \onlinecite{...} commands,
intended for reference numbers to be on the base line of text, to
instead superscripted numerical citings of references.
Not having written any of the codes for the software packages I have
been discussing here, I give my thinking, reasoning, and guessing to
attempt to explain the results I mentioned in the above, first
paragraph. First compare the dates of the software I used:
LaTeX2HTML 1.71 (year 2008, I think)
Within it the file /usr/share/latex2html/styles/natbib.perl is
internally dated with 2001/11/08 or 2001/11/8, which I guess might mean
November 8, 2001 (Here in the United States such a date could be
numerically written as, for example 11/8/01 or maybe 11/8/2001.).
LaTeX 2e (September 24, 2009)
The file natbib.sty of Natbib 8.31a (November 7, 2009)
The bibliographic style file apsrev4-1.bst of REVTeX 4.1 (for February
12, 2010 Physical Review). In REVTeX 4.1 some changes were introduced
compared to I think an earlier version of REVTeX which I guess might
have been version 4 of it.
Also I compared the appearance of one reference in .bbl files produced
with LaTeX and BibTeX using both plainnat.bst of Natbib 8.31a and
apsrev4-1.bst of REVTeX 4.1. The .bbl file produced using apsrev4-1.bst
contained a number of the commands or variables which LaTeX2HTML
"referred to" as undefined commands, such as BibitemOpen, BibitemShut,
citenamefont, bibnamefont, bibfnamefont, bibfield, bibinfo, and
href@noop; for the same test reference the .bbl file produced using
plainnat.bst did not contain any of those commands or variables. So my
guess is that those new commands or variables are associated with REVTeX
4.1 in the year 2010 or perhaps slightly earlier, which is too new for
the year-2008 LaTeX2HTML or the year-2001 file natbib.perl it contained
to have accommodated them.
Also following another hint from Satsuma at
http://texblog.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/natbib-multiple-reference-citation/
for citenum being undefined, he or she mentioned that one should obtain
a year-2007 version of natbib.sty to replace a year-2003 version of it
(But in the year 2011 there is a year-2009 version of that file
available, as I listed its date above.). So in the text editor Kate I
looked inside he file natbib.sty of Natbib 8.31a and found that citenum
is defined with a new command in that file. Copying that file from in
my case the directory /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/natbib to the directory
containing my .tex files, similar to what Satsuma did with a year-2007
version of nabib.sty, unfortunately did not result in LaTeX2HTML
"recognizing" citenum in a .tex file. So I suppose that LaTeX2HTML 1.71
may not have been built to accommodate the variable or command citenum
in a .tex file.
Professor Ross Moore or anyone else knowledgeable of the internal code
of LaTeX2HTML 1.71 and the software packages it can accommodate is
welcome to correct me here. But if my reasoning, thinking, and some
guessing are correct here, I suggest that the next version of LaTeX2HTML
be built to accommodate citenum in a .tex file and the various variables
or commands BibitemOpen, BibitemShut, citenamefont, bibnamefont,
bibfnamefont, bibfield, bibinfo, and href@noop in a .bbl file, which I
supposed may have been produced in my .bbl file as a result of using the
bibliographic style file apsrev4-1.bst of REVTeX 4.1.
But in the near future, if one is not too particular in trying to
exactly duplicate the referencing style of apsrev4-1.bst of REVTeX 4.1,
for use with LaTeX2HTML plainnat.bst can serve as a reasonable, but not
exact, functional substitute. With the command \bibpunct{}{}{,}{s}{}
for use with natbib in a .tex file, the use of plainnat.bst can produce
automatically numbered numerical superscripts corresponding to, for
example,$^{\cite{RAT92}}$ in the text and numbers on the base line in
the bibliography of the .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML, similar, but
exactly like what the use of apsrev4-1.bst would produce. With
LaTeX2HTML 1.71 I suggest using only superscripts for automatically
numbered referencing. Allow me to oversimplfiy things somewhat here;
more details and Internet references are given in my previous letter in
this chain of e-mail letters; besides, it is possible I might miss some
of the details here myself. For publication in Physical Review
journals, books, or other journals in which simple numerical
superscripts are used for reference citations, one might use
\documentclass[prb,longbibliography,12pt]{revtex4-1},
\bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}, and \bibliography{MyBib}, where MyBib.bib
is the file containing your reference data for your document's
bibliography; from a .dvi file produced by LaTeX it should be possible
to print those references along with the rest of the document onto
paper. And for online or computer versions of documents and publications
with internal and external hyperlinks one might use
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article},
\usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib},
\usepackage{....,doi,hyperref,hypernat}, \bibpunct{]{]{,}{s}{},
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}, \bibliography{MyBib,revtex-custom}, where
the contents of a file revtex-custom.bib, including REVTeX 4.1 controls,
are discussed at
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15677/revtex-4-1-bibliography-style-in-other-classes.
It might be necessary to experiment with the order of the packages in a
\usepackage{........} statement to avoid errors.
There are still a few things that I haven't gotten to work
satisfactorily yet. One of them is with multiple reference numbers as
one superscript always being in numerical order. And I haven't checked
to see whether the compression worked correctly or not, for example
references(superscript 1,2,3,4) becoming references(superscript 1-4).
But, when necessary, those cases can be manually edited in the .tex file
to produce what you desire, as mentioned at
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=8897. I have
some unwanted pairs of side-by-side parentheses in .my .dvi file or
unwanted letters like a, b, etc., in my .html file sometimes appearing
in some references in my bibliography corresponding to sometimes when I
have \htmladdnormallink{http://..../}{http://....../} in my .tex file.
My table of contents doesn't show all four levels of
chapter-and-sectioning in the .html file that are shown in the
corresponding .dvi file. And my internal hyperlink in the table of
contents for "Bibliography" isn't working for me in the .html file.

Hello. I have been using:
the September 24, 2009 version of LaTeX 2e,
BibTeX 0.99b,
by the command \usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib} the natbib software
package with the options sort&compress and with the additional command
\bibpunct{}{}{,}{s}{} (similar to at
http://www.andy-roberts.net/writing/latex/bibliographies on the
Internet),
the apsrev4-1.bst bibliographic style file of REVTeX 4.1 called in a
.tex-file command of the form \bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}, and
LaTeX2HTML 1.71
in an openSUSE-11.4, Linux operating system. This is my first attempt
to try to produce a letter for distribution to some other people which
uses automatically numbered references, figures, tables, and equations
and which uses a .bib, bibliography file external to my .tex file; for
that matter I may not have even used BibTeX before this attempt.
My use of several commands with natbib followed the advice of I think
Daniel Els at
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15677/revtex-4-1-bibliography-style-in-other-classes.
Similar to the procedure mentioned at
http://www.wujiewen.com/faq/content/2/33/en/how-to-use-latex2html-to-convert-my-paper-to-webpages.html, I
performed program executions of the following forms, here using the
fictitious name MyFile:
latex MyFile.tex
bibtek MyFile
latex MyFile.tex
latex MyFile.tex
latex2html............MyFile.tex
latex2html............MyFile.tex
.
For my .bib-file entry
@article{RAT92,

title="",
journal={J. Orthomolecular Medicine},
volume="{\bf 7}",
number="1",
pages="5",

and in the .dvi (DeVice-Independent), output file
[22] M. Rath and L. Pauling, J. Orthomolecular Medicine, 7, 5, (1992).
with the volume number 7 in a bold typeface.
But LaTeX2HTML, executed by a command of the form
latex2html -nonavigation -no_math -html_version 3.2,math -split 0
MyFile.tex
, correspondingly produced in its output, .html (HyperText Markup
Language) file
22 author author M. Rath -
bibinfo author L. Pauling,#18543#> journal journal J. Orthomolecular
Medicine,#18056#>volume 7,
bibinfo pages 5 (year 1992)NoStop
instead of something close to what appeared in the .dvi file, and in a
terminal program from which LaTeX2HTML was executed the following
messages:
Unknown commands: citenamefont captionsetup bibfnamefont citenum
enquote ed bibnamefont BibitemShut ( href_at_noon BibitemOpen
bibfield < natexlib bibinfo
.
Note that among the commands "reported" as unknown by LaTeX2HTML,
citenamefont, bibfnamefont, bibnamefont, BibitemShut, as well as
BibitemOpen, bibfield, and bibinfo all appear in the entry of the .bbl
file which LaTeX2HTML is supposed to be using. And it appears from the
.html output file that LaTeX2HTML did indeed "read" M. Rath, L.
Pauling, J. Orthomolecular Medicine, 7, 5, and 1992 from the .bbl file.
The command or software package citenum was used in my .tex file in the
command \newcommand{\onlinecite}[1]{\hspace{-1 ex}
\nocite{#1}\citenum{#1}}, following advice from
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=8897. The
purpose of that command was to allow the use of this custom
\onlinecite{...} command in text so that reference numbers could appear
on the base line of text, rather than as superscripts dictated by the
"s" for superscript in the .tex-file command \bibpunct{}{}{,}{s}{}. As
far as just the correct reference numbers appearing was concerned, that
custom \onlinecite{..} command worked for me in the .dvi file produced
by LaTeX, but not in the .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML, perhaps
because LaTeX2HTML did not "recognize" citenum in the \newcommand....
in my .tex file to define the custom \onlinecite{..} command (Instead
in the .html file the reference "KEY" for a reference appeared [RAT92
is the reference key in the .bib-file entry I discussed earlier here.];
it was desired to have had an internally hyperlinked reference number
there in the .html file corresponding to a .tex-file command of the
form \onlinecite{KEY}.). I also used captionsetup in my .tex file in
the command
\captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=empty,labelsep=none} along with
\usepackage{.....,caption,....}.
Following a suggestion posted by Professor Ross Moore for a different
problem than mine in the Internet thread which includes
http://www.mail-archive.com/latex2html@tug.og/msg02874.html, but might
be in a later reply to that message posted on that Web page, I found
the file /usr/share/doc/packages/latex2html/dot.latex2hmtl-init and in
it after "###Other global variables" entered a comment line of my own
with a # at its beginning and the pair of statements:
if($DO_INCLUDE) {$DO_INCLUDE .= ':bbl'}
else{ $DO_INCLUDE = 'bbl'};
. Did I enter those lines in the correct file and in an acceptable
location in that file? But unfortunately the result of such entry was
no noticeable improvement for me in the bibliographic entries in the
.html file produced from the .bbl file by the program LaTeX2HTML. What
did I miss in all of this that 1) prevented the references in the .html
file from looking as good as they did in the .dvi file and 2) prevented
the custom \onlinecite{..} command from working in the .html file?
