[comp.text.tex] BiBTeX: moving argument of \bibitem

jdm5548@DIAMOND.TAMU.EDU (James Darrell McCauley) (12/22/90)

  [My apologies if this had been addressed by this mailing list
   before - I'm new.  Therefore, a reference to an INFO-TeX archive
   would be great.]

  I'm writing LaTeX and BiBTeX styles and have come across an
  frustrating problem regarding the moving argument to \bibitem:
  How can you avoid printing any label beside the references
  (including the brackets)?

  An example:
  Instead of
     [67] D. E. Knudson. 1966 World Gnus Almanac ...
  OR
     [Knud 66] D. E. Knudson. 1966 World Gnus Almanac ...
  I want
     D. E. Knudson. 1966 World Gnus Almanac ...

  Is this possible?  I've look about everywhere I can think of for
  the answer to this (short of source code, but I'd even be willing
  to tamper with that if I had to).

  Thanks,
  Darrell McCauley
