### Putting bibliography entries in text

This is a common requirement for journals and other publications in the humanities. Sometimes the requirement is for the entry to appear in the running text of the document, while other styles require that the entry appear in a footnote.

Options for entries in running text are

- The package bibentry, which puts slight restrictions on the format of entry that your `.bst` file generates, but is otherwise undemanding of the bibliography style.
- The package inlinebib, which requires that you use its inlinebib.bst
- The package jurabib, which was originally targetted at German law documents, and has comprehensive facilities for the manipulation of citations. The package comes with four bibliography styles that you may use: jurabib.bst, jhuman.bst and two Chicago-like ones.

Options for entries in footnotes are

- The package footbib, and
- The package jurabib, again.

Note that jurabib does the job using LaTeX's standard footnotes, whereas footbib creates its own sequence of footnotes. Therefore, in a document which has other footnotes, it's best to use jurabib, to avoid confusion of footnotes and foot-citations.
