{A comparative study of methods for bibliographies}
{Jean-Michel Hufflen}
{First, we recall the successive steps of the task performed by a
bibliography processor such as \BibTeX. Then we show how this modus
operandi has been adapted by tools such as the packages \code{natbib},
\code{jurabib}, \code{biblatex}. We also explain the advantages and
drawbacks of using other processors like Biber or Ml\BibTeX.
