% INSTALLATION:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% Install this style by running the file `margbib.ins' thro' TeX. This will
% create the file `margbib.sty' and, if your docstrip.cfg is set up the right
% way (has a \BaseDirectory{&lt;path to my texmf directory&gt;}, see the
% docstrip-documentation), automatically moved to \$TEXMF/tex/latex/misc.
%
% The documentation is created by running `latex margbib.dtx`.

%  \begin{abstract}
%    This document describes the \texttt{margbib} document style. This style
%    redefines the \texttt{thebibliography} environment in order to move the
%    bibliography labels into the borders.
%  \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
%
%  Why the |margbib| style? Many typesetters say that text is only readable
%  when it is not wider than, say, about 70 letters. This limit is very tight,
%  provided typesetting on one column ISO A4 paper, the usual European
%  paper size. Thus there is a tradeoff between readability in normal text
%  paragraphs and the amount of trouble in line breaking especially of
%  bibliographies, where masses of names and declarative title words
%  discourage easy hyphenation. Large tags in all ``speaking'' citation styles
%  such as |alpha| or |abbrv| make it even harder as the books' label sizes
%  increase.
%
%  Therefore, this style takes the label off the normal paragraph and places
%  it right beside the text in the margin. Since the normal |\marginpar|
%  command has problems with its output routine in case |twoside| is
%  used---first the marginalium is set, then a compound paragraph is possibly
%  put onto the next page---we employ the |marn.sty| created in 1993 by Donald
%  Arseneau. It ensures right placing of the marginal note in this case. This
%  is done utilising the |.aux|-file, but who does not re\TeX\ each 
%  document twice or thrice?
%
%  This document style has been tested with the normal \LaTeXe\ base, the
%  \AmS\ and the \KOMAScript\ documents. It works---most important---with the
%  twoside option and the use of normal |\marginpar|s, for problems therewith
%  cf. the documentation to |marn.sty|. I have found one minor caveat: it does
%  not print out this famous ``labels have changed, please re\TeX!'' message
%  in case of modifications, so my AUC \TeX\footnote{AUC \TeX\ is Per
%  Abrahamsen's famous \TeX\ mode for Emacs.}\ makes wrong proposals about
%  what to do next. Minor, as I said.
%
%  \section{Remark}
% 
%  The \AmS\ bibliography styles make the paragraph text some degrees smaller
%  than regular. This package keeps this font size in paragraph text, but sets
%  the margin labels in normal font. This does not look that great, but
%  whoever wants to combine both is encouraged to fix it.

%  \section{The Code}
%
%  \changes{v1.0b}{1997/11/10}{Only require |marn.sty| when available.}
%
%  Let us look whether the document style |marn| by Donald Arseneau
%  exists. This will avoid difficulties in |twoside|-mode. If so, we
%  load the package, otherwise output a warning and make do with
%  |\marginpar|.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\IfFileExists{marn.sty}{%
  \RequirePackage{marn}
  }{%
  \PackageWarning{margbib}{%
    marn package unavailable -- using \string\marginpar}%
  \let\marn\marginpar}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\bibitem}
%    This redefines |\bibitem| and the two subcommands (with and without the
%    optional tag) to move our label information into the borders. We could
%    leave out the first line of the following code for all the examined
%    styles, after all, but since the |@|-commands are not said to persist,
%    this redundancy may be future's benefit.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bibitem{\@ifnextchar[\@lbibitem\@bibitem}
\def\@lbibitem[#1]#2{\item[]\if@filesw
  {\makebox{}\marn{\@biblabel{#1}}%
    \let\protect\noexpand
    \immediate
    \write\@auxout{\string\bibcite{#2}{#1}}}\fi\ignorespaces}
\def\@bibitem#1{\item[]\if@filesw\immediate\write\@auxout
  {\string\bibcite{#1}{\the\value{\@listctr}}}\fi\ignorespaces}    
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
% 
%  \begin{environment}{thebibliography}
%    In order to broaden our text to the whole |\item|less width, we have to
%    redefine the |thebibliography| environment. For the sake of its
%    document-dependent facilities, we first steal the code and then
%    manipulate it: The shape of the paragraph is simply reset.
%
%    Why override the given environment instead of defining a new? For those
%    who write bibliographies one after the other by themselves, this is no
%    problem. But \BibTeX\ generates |thebibliography| environments, and
%    nothing else. Thus it is only a question of working with |margbib.sty| or
%    without. Whoever wanted to have \emph{different} forms of bibliographies
%    in one document, e. g. using |chapterbib|, might possibly have cramped
%    her style.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\m@rgbib=\thebibliography
\let\endm@rgbib=\endthebibliography
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
  \begin{m@rgbib}{#1}
    \parshape=0\relax
    }{%
  \end{m@rgbib}
  }    
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{environment}
