[](#how-to-embed-bibtexbrowser-into-a-website) To embed Bibtexbrowser into a website, you could use it as a library: ``` ``` #### How to embed a publication list in an home page? [](#how-to-embed-a-publication-list-in-an-home-page) Sorted by year Sorted by publication typeFor a group/team/labFor an individual In the above snippets, only the bibtex-entries containing 'Martin Monperrus' as an auhor will be extracted, but not 'Monperrus, Martin'. To remedy this, you need to add *define('USE\_FIRST\_THEN\_LAST',true);* either to the php-query, or to *bibtexbrowser.local.php* #### How to change the reference style? [](#how-to-change-the-reference-style) **By modifying the CSS** If bibtexbrowser.css exists, it is used, otherwise bibtexbrowser uses its own embedded CSS style (see function bibtexbrowserDefaultCSS). An example of CSS tailoring is: ``` .date { background-color: blue; } .btb-header { } .rheader { font-size: large } .bibref { padding:3px; padding-left:15px; vertical-align:top;} .bibtitle { font-weight:bold; } .bibbooktitle { font-style:italic; } ``` For instance, one can tweak the output by disabling the display of some headers and pieces of information. ``` .bibmenu {display:none} /* disables the [bibtex] and the like */ .bibanchor {display:none} /* disables the index [1] or [Name2010], etc. depending on the value of the configuration value ABBRV_TYPE and BIBTEXBROWSER_LAYOUT .theader {display:none} .sheader {display:none} /* disables the year header e.g., 2001 */ ``` **By setting your own style function**The bibliography style is encapsulated in a function. If you want to modify the bibliography style, you can copy the default style in a new file, say *bibtexbrowser-yourstyle.php*, and rename the function *DefaultBibliographyStyle* in say *MyFancyBibliographyStyle*. Then, add in the file *bibtexbrowser.local.php*: ```
