A while back, I remember seeing a posting about a bibtex style in
which one could turn on or off various options by including dummy
citations in the document. For example, the annote field might by
default be ignored, except when \nocite{annote} appeared in the input
file. This seems preferable to maintaining two separate bibliography
styles, identical except for the matter of ignoring the annote field;
this seems especially clear in the case where in addition to annote,
are other similar fields have been created (for library call numbers,
article abstracts, and such) that the user would like to display in
arbitrary combinations.
If someone could email me an .bst file which makes use of the dummy
citation hack, or could explain a more elegant solution to this
problem, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
