Underlining instead of italics in references

[praedor]

I need to use underlining in my reference lists in place of italics for
journal names. I have used makebst to create a custom bibliography style
and explicitly selected underlining instead of italics. Nonetheless, when
I generate my final document, the reference list simply uses normal text
for journal titles: no italics (good) and no underlining (bad).

What does it take to get reference lists (bibtex) to underline journal
names?

Hi,

if I understood it correctly, you need to chose "journal names italic" at
question "Journal Name Font", and later "underlining in place of italics" at
question "Emphasis". This works for me. Also, it is recommended to
\usepackage{ulem} in your preamble.

Note that you don't need to run makebst once more. Assuming your bst-file is
called mystyle.bst: look for mystyle.dbj in the same directory where
mystyle.bst was created, save a copy under a different name and open it with
your text editor. Search for the questions JOURNAL NAME FONT and EMPHASIS.
Uncomment the appropriate line(s) and comment out the one(s) you don't want
(see the other questions for how it should look like), change the name for
the bst-file at the very bottom (where it sais "\generate{\file{}") and run
latex on this modified dbj-file. The new bst-file will be created.

Hope this helps,
Eva
