What constitutes a single work may be uncertain, particularly for statutes and multi-authored works, as described previously. The general test for whether two items are two references or subdivisions of a single reference is whether, if they were cited immediately in sequence, \emph{id.}\ should be used for the second item. In some cases this is a matter of the writer's taste, so this package generally gives writers the flexibility to define references however they see fit. If a reference is used in a citation string but not defined, this package will issue an error, or it will keep track of the missing citation. See \sec{draw} for more information on missing references. \subsection{Data Model} Each reference consists of: \begin{itemize} \item A reference type, such as a book, case, or statute. The complete list of reference types is given in Part~\ref{p:alltypes}. The reference type determines how the reference is formatted and what parameters are necessary to define the reference. \item An identifier nickname that will be used to identify this reference in citations (and, on occasion, inside other references). The nickname must be unique and generally should not contain spaces. \item Parameters providing information about the reference. For example, a book uses parameters for the author, title, and publication year. The reference type determines which parameters are required and optional; this is documented in Part~\ref{p:alltypes}. There are also parameters of general applicability to all reference types, described in \sec{genparams}. The complete list of parameters is given in Part~\ref{p:allparams}. \item A Table of Authorities category, described below. \end{itemize} \subsection{Input Syntax} \label{s:refs-syntax} The package provides its own syntax for writers to use when defining references. As an alternative, \sec{hibib} describes a compatibility layer that accepts Biblatex reference definitions, so long as the parameter names correspond with those of this package. Generally, references are defined as follows: \begin{demo} |\def|\meta{reference type} \marg{name} |{| \\ | |\meta{param1} |=| \meta{value1}|,| \\ | |\meta{param2} |=| \meta{value2}|,| \\ | |\ldots \\ |}| \end{demo} For example, to define the historic case on copyrightability: \begin{demo} |\defcase{baker}{|\\ | parties=Baker v. Selden,|\\ | cite=101 U.S. 99,|\\ | year=1880,|\\ |}| \end{demo} The input follows \TeX\ syntax and uses the |keyval| package, so if there are equal signs or commas in the parameter values, then the parameter should be surrounded with braces. Entering the parameter names for every reference can be tedious, so for common reference types there are shortcuts described in \sec{cparse}. % %<*package> % % % % Creates a new reference definer macro. \#1 is the type name (used to create a % |\def|\meta{type} macro), \#2 a textual description (used only for generating % documentation), \#3 the default TOA category (see \sec{toa-categories}), and % \#4 the macro code to be run % to define the reference. Executing the reference definition command should % cause the definition of the following formatting macros of the form % |\|\meta{prefix}|@|\meta{ref-name}, with prefixes given in \sec{draw-form}. % % For convenience of parameter definition macros, |\@this@case| is set to the % name of the reference being defined. % % \begin{macrocode} \def\hi@newcite#1#2#3#4{% \HiDefaultTOACat{#1}{#3}% \global\@namedef{def#1}##1##2{% \@ifundefined{fc@##1}{}{% \PackageError\hi@pkgname{% Citation for ##1 already defined }{% The citation for ##1 has already been defined.\MessageBreak Please select another name. }% }% \begingroup \def\@this@case{##1}% \hi@toacat@setdefault{##1}{#1}% \hi@param@set{#1}{##2}% #4% % \hi@bib@output \endgroup }% } % \end{macrocode} % % \DescribeMacro\hi@alias@cite % Aliases a cite definer macro to another. % % \begin{macrocode} \def\hi@alias@cite#1#2{\@namedef{def#1}{\@nameuse{def#2}}} % \end{macrocode} % % Within a reference definer macro, defines a new formatting macro of the form % |\|\meta{prefix}|@|\meta{name}, where \#1 is \meta{prefix} and \#2 is % \meta{name}.

For every defined parameter, there is a macro % |\KV@hi@|\meta{param} as created by the |keyval| package. There is also a % macro |\hi@kv@|\meta{param} defined to hold the value that the parameter is % set to, which is used by most but not all parameters. By default, the % |\hi@kv@|\meta{param} variable is given a value that will generate an error if % used in a citation, alerting the user to the parameter being necessary but % missing. % % This is a list of all the parameter registers. Each parameter is stored in the % form |\do{|\meta{param}|}{|\meta{description}|}|. % % \begin{macrocode} \def\hi@params{} % \end{macrocode} % % Parenthetical parameters.

The |\defcitegroup| macro enables this to an extent. It takes four arguments: \begin{itemize} \item (optional) A prefix for the reference nicknames to be defined, default blank \item A reference definer macro (|\def|\meta{type}) \item Initial text for the reference definition body \item A comma-separated list of texts used both as the nickname and as a suffix to the reference definition \end{itemize} For example, say you want to define references for several sections of the Patent Act. That could be achieved with the following three definitions: \begin{demo} |\defstatcode{101}{35 U.S.C. S 101}| \\ |\defstatcode{102}{35 U.S.C. S 102}| \\ |\defstatcode{103}{35 U.S.C. S 103}| \\ \end{demo} This works (using the reference parser for statutes) but is repetitive. Instead, you can write: \begin{demo} |\defcitegroup\defstatcode{35 U.S.C. S }{101, 102, 103}| \end{demo} Each of the items in the comma-separated list (e.g., |101|) becomes both a reference nickname and the end of the reference definition. With the optional argument, the reference names can be given a prefix: \begin{demo} |\defcitegroup[17usc]\defstatcode{17 U.S.C. S }{101, 102, 103}| \end{demo} would define |17usc101| as the statute ``17 U.S.C. \textsection~101'' and so on. % %<*package> % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand\defcitegroup[4][]{% \forcsvlist{\hi@citegroup@{#1}{#2}{#3}}{#4}% } \def\hi@citegroup@#1#2#3#4{#2{#1#4}{#3#4}} % \end{macrocode} % %<*test> \section{refs.dtx} \subsection{defcitegroup} \begingroup \let\testregister\@empty \def\deftest#1#2{\appto\testregister{{#1}{#2}}} \defcitegroup\deftest{Prefix }{a, b, c} \AssertMacro\testregister{{a}{Prefix a}{b}{Prefix b}{c}{Prefix c}} \let\testregister\@empty \defcitegroup[pre-]\deftest{Prefix }{a, b, c} \AssertMacro\testregister{% {pre-a}{Prefix a}{pre-b}{Prefix b}{pre-c}{Prefix c}% } \endgroup %
