biblatex-bath: Harvard referencing style as recommended by the University of Bath Library

This package provides a biblatex style to format reference lists in the Harvard style recommended by the University of Bath Library.

Installation

The files you need are included in the zip archive available from GitHub. If you use the zip archive from CTAN, you will need to run luatexbiblatex-bath.dtx to generate them. You can use this style simply by copying all the .bbx, .cbx, .dbx and .lbx files into your working directory, that is, the directory holding the main .tex file for your document. If you want the style to be available for all your documents without having to copy the files over each time, you can install them using the instructions below.

Managed way

The latest stable release of biblatex-bath has been packaged for TeX Live and MiKTeX. If you are running TeX Live and have tlmgr installed, you can install the package simply by running tlmgr install biblatex-bath. If you are running MiKTeX, you can install the package by running mpm --install=biblatex-bath. Both tlmgr and mpm have GUI versions that you might find friendlier.

Automated way

A makefile is provided which you can use with the Make utility on UNIX-like systems:

• Running make source generates the derived files
  • README.md
    • bath.bbx, bath.cbx, bath.dbx
      • english-bath.lbx, british-bath.lbx
      • biblatex-bath.bib
      • biblatex-bath.ins
  • Running make generates the above files and also biblatex-bath.pdf. Ensure you have (at least) the luatexja, adobemapping and ipaex packages installed first.
  • Running make inst installs the files in the user's TeX tree. You can undo this with make uninst.
  • Running make install installs the files in the local TeX tree. You can undo this with make uninstall.

Manual way

You do not need to follow the first step if you downloaded the zip archive from GitHub. You do not need to follow the second step if you already have the PDF documentation.

1. Run luatex biblatex-bath.dtx to generate the source files.

1. Compile biblatex-bath.dtx with LuaLaTeX and Biber to generate the documentation. You will need, among other things, the luatexja, adobemapping and haranoaji packages installed; this is just for the documentation, not for the biblatex style itself.

1. If you are using TeX Live, find your home TeX tree using the following command at the command prompt/terminal:

```
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME
```

If you are using MikTeX, consult the MikTeX manual entry for [integrating
local additions](http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html). You
can use one of the roots (TeX trees) already defined – preferably one of
the User roots – or set up a new one.

1. Move the files to your TeX tree as follows:
   • source/latex/biblatex-bath: biblatex-bath.dtx, (biblatex-bath.ins)
     • tex/latex/biblatex-bath: bath.bbx, bath.cbx, bath.dbx, english-bath.lbx, british-bath.lbx
     • doc/latex/biblatex-bath: biblatex-bath.pdf, README.md

1. You may then have to update your installation's file name database before TeX and friends can see the files.
