Agreed. > The problem with automatic key generation, in my opinion, is that it > might create a patter that does not make sense for the way you > conceptualize your database. Is this not what you are saying? I wanted to point out that there are tools (e.g. the BibTools program) that allow the (re)creation of bibtex keys in a user-specified format, <author>[,<author2>,...]:yyyy, say. While requiring extensive reading of the manual in order to find out how to specify the format, for a large database this might be less effort than creating all the missing labels by hand. OTOH, for 20 or so entries it might be simpler to do this manually. > In the end, you have to use what works for you. That's it. GM
