BMC_Template_Info_Files

The purpose of this repository is to complement the template repository through latex-package manuals and links related to the packages employed in the BMC template.

Bibliography Setup

The bibliography setup currently used within the template was constructed with various stackexchange information. The solutions within the link are very helpful. In addition, the biblatex package was curcial in understanding the \defbibenvironment{} biblatex command.

The Bibliography code block:

{
\RequirePackage[
        backend=biber,
        style=phys,
        biblabel=brackets,
        articletitle=true
    ]{biblatex}
    \defbibenvironment{bibliography}
        {\list{\printtext[labelnumberwidth]{%
            \printfield{labelprefix}%
            \printfield{labelnumber}}}
        {\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
            \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
            \setlength{\itemsep}{2\baselineskip plus .05\baselineskip minus .05\baselineskip}%
            \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}
        }
        {\endlist}
    {\item}
}

Table of Contents Setup

The table of contents, and chapter, section and subsection headers, are formatted using the titlesec packages, there are three.

I wish the author of the titlesec manual used the hyperref package.
