During the making of my BSc thesis I have came across many problems that had two basic solutions summarized to:

• Do it the easy way that turns out to be pretty dull and time consuming when you have to repeat it a couple of times
• Put some effort into thinking of an effective solution and benefit later when the whole process becomes much more efficient. Plus you learn a lot of stuff.

Needles to say, I have picked the second options over and over again. The result is a bunch of mostly LaTeX related tips and resources that I will publish one after another on my blog.

The first one is related to BibTeX an utility for managing a list of references in your LaTeX document. To generate a nifty list of references the system requires a data file with the reference data and a style file. The problem when you are writing Slovenian text is that the default style file (called simply 'plain') is not translated. Or at least I was unable to find it. It is really not that much to translate, but still. I am publishing my translation called slplain I am actually not sure if it is completely translated so please warn me with a comment if something is missing and I shall add it. To use the style simply copy it into the directory where your .aux file is located and use the command:

#!latex
\bibliographystyle[slplain]

in your TeX source document so select it.
