jolebib

This repository contains a custom BibTeX style file for the Journal of Labor Economics (jole.bst).

Steps to compile

To create your own BibTeX style file, follow these steps:

1. Download this repository
2. Use your system terminal to compile the file makebst.tex. This will launch an interactive session that will present the user with about 25-30 questions regarding citation styles.
3. makebst.tex will output a .dbj file. You can then run latex on that file, which will create the .bst file
4. Once you create the .bst file, you need to edit it in the following ways:
   • insert "t" change.case$ on line 707
   • insert "t" change.case$ on line 864
