Law Faculty University of Ljubljana Styling and citations

< Sample documents

Introduction

Style and citing for writting diploma thesis (and other works) compatible with the citing and styling rules of the Law Faculty of the University of Ljubljana (Pravna fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani). It is not an official package of the faculty though (not that most of them ever heard of TeX).

Big thanks to everyone on the ConTeXt users' mailing list for helping me out with this! The least I can do is make it publicly available.

--Hook

ChangeLog

• 0.1 - initial submition --Hook 17:05, 6 April 2008 (CEST)
• 0.2 - (later in the same evening) implemented a fix for legal acts so it displays the long form (without the paragraph info) the first time and in all other occurrences only the abbrevated forms (with the paragraph info). --Hook 19:13, 6 April 2008 (CEST)
• 0.3 - translated the comments into English --~~

TODO

What it misses the most right now is to get the \placepublications in a way to display separately cited works from the bibliography in different blocks by their type (e.g. t=zakon) and inside these blocks by alphabet. Also I still lack citation rules for internet and (various) court decisions. I may change the fonts and layout a bit as well. But that's low priority.

Environment

Here's the environment .tex file.
