Summary description: Update to natbib and bibentry
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
It seems that the use of \edef in natbib was causing some other packages not to function correctly. This has now been replaced by \protected at edef which hopefully will work better. In the bibentry companion, a global definition for the \doi macro is included; this appears in many of the modern bibtex styles. Normally, this is used only within thebibliography where a local definition is provided.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/natbib (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
