THE APACITE PACKAGE
===================

Description
-----------

The apacite package (for LaTeX and BibTeX) implements the requirements
of the American Psychological Association concerning citations and
reference list. In addition, it provides a large number of options and
other possibilities for customization, so that a wide range of citation
styles and reference list styles can be handled. Furthermore, it also
provides the possibility of automatically generating an author index.


Copyright and license

Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Erik Meijer and any individual authors listed

This package may be distributed and/or modified under the
conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either
version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later
version.  The latest version of this license is in:

   http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt

and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of
LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later.

See the file apacite.dtx for more details.


Building the package and its documentation
------------------------------------------

The generated LaTeX package (.sty), BibTeX style (.bst), and supporting
files (.apc, .bib, .drv, .tex) are extracted by running:

tex apacite.ins

The documentation is then generated by the following sequence:

pdflatex apacite.drv  <== Produces apacite.pdf (documentation)
bibtex   apacite      <== Produces apacite.bbl (reference list)
pdflatex apacite.drv  <== Include ref. list
pdflatex apacite.drv  <== Resolve citations
pdflatex apacite.drv  <== 'Labels may have changed'
makeindex -o apacite.and apacite.adx <== (author index)
pdflatex apacite.drv  <== Include author index
pdflatex apacite.drv  <== Resolve table of contents

Note that apacite comes with pre-built documentation (PDF format,
U.S. letter-sized paper), so you only need to regenerate the
documentation if you are unhappy with the documentation as
provided. For example, if you want to generate a version for
A4 paper, or if you want the full reference manual, including the
documented source code and change log. In the latter case,
edit the file apacite.drv according to your wishes (see the comments
in that file) and insert the following lines in the sequence, after
generating the author index:

makeindex -s gind.ist apacite <== Produces apacite.ind (code index)
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o apacite.gls apacite.glo  <== (change log)

apacite – Citation style following the rules of the APA

Apacite provides a style and a package which are designed to match the requirements of the American Psychological Association’s style for citations. The package follows the 6th edition of the APA manual, and is designed to work with the apa6 class. A test document is provided. The package is compatible with chapterbib and (to some extent) with hyperref (for limits of compatibility, see the documentation). The package also includes a means of generating an author index for a document.
