The classics package, ∗ or the end of anachronism

Eduardo C. Louren¸co de Lima elourenco@phi.pro.br

February 3, 2020

Abstract

This package provides a basic framework to cite classic works in accordance with traditional pagination systems. It may be used in conjunction with other citation packages.

Introduction

If you feel there is something wrong with “Plato (1994: pp. 50–1)”, “Aristotle (Ethics, 44)” or “Hume (2000: 303)”, this package is for you. The classics pack- age provides a basic framework to cite classic works in compliance with traditional pagination systems. For example:

Theaetetus 142d 4–5 Nic. Eth. 1179b14–1180a29 THN 3.1.2

Citation commands created by classics can also be used in conjunction with other citations engines such as standard \cite, biblatex, natbib, etc.

1 Synopsis

\newclassic [hrange separator i] {hclassici} {hlist of formatting directivesi}

\<classic> [hwork i] {hpagei} [hsectioni]

\<classic>* [hwork i] {hpagei} [hsectioni] {hlast pagei} [hsectioni]

\newpagination {hpaginationi} {hsingular i} {hplural i} {hconjunctioni}

\<pagination> {hrangei}

\DeclareClassicWorkFormat {hformatting directivei}

This document corresponds to classics 0.1a, dated February 3, 2020. I am grateful to Joseph

Wright, Scott H., and Robert Alessi for suggestions.

2 Basic usage

\newclassic [hrange separator i] {hclassici} {hlist of formatting directivesi}

Creates a citation command \hclassici based on a hlist of formatting directivesi separated by vertical bars. Each formatting directive has its own #1 and is used to declare the format in which to typeset the reference to a subdivision of a classic work. There can be at most six such directives. As an example:

\newclassic {Aristotle} {#1|\textit{#1}|#1}

would create a new citation command \Aristotle:

\Aristotle [hwork i] {hpagei} [hcolumni] [hlinei]

\Aristotle* [hwork i] {hpagei} [hcolumni] [hlinei] {hlast pagei} [hcolumni] [hlinei]

to typeset references in which letters for hcolumni are printed in italic type. The starred version \Aristotle* is used to cite a range of two pages separated by hrange separator i.

Note: \Aristotle* will not typeset hlast pagei if hpagei and hlast pagei are the same. However, hlast pagei will be preserved if \Aristotle* is created by the starred version \newclassic*.

\newpagination {hpaginationi} {hsingular i} {hplural i} {hconjunctioni}

Creates a command hpaginationi to typeset hsingular i or hplural i depending on whether subsequent arguments to hpaginationi are singular or plural. As an ex- ample:

\newpagination {\pages} {page} {pages} { and } would create the command \pages:

\pages {hrangei}

that automatically typesets page hrangei if hrangei is singular, or pages hrangei if hrangei is plural, that is, if it contains a comma, a hyphen, a dash, or hconjunctioni.

Note: hconjunctioni might need to be enclosed in spaces.

\DeclareClassicWorkFormat {hformatting directivei}

Defines the format to typeset classic titles in. The default hformatting directivei

is \textit{#1}.

(3)

\classicsalph {hinteger i}

\classicsAlph {hinteger i}

\classicsroman {hinteger i}

\classicsRoman {hinteger i}

These commands may come in handy if you want to typeset a subdivision as a letter or Roman numeral, lowercase or uppercase.

3 Advanced usage

You may combine \newclassic and \newpagination to create complex citation styles. For example:

\Hume [hwork i] {hbook i} [hpart i] [hsectioni]

can be created by:

\DeclareClassicWorkFormat{\textit{#1},}

\newpagination {\books} {book} {books} { and }

\newpagination {\parts} {part} {parts} { and }

\newpagination {\sections} {section} {sections} { and }

\newclassic {Hume} {\books{#1}|, \parts{#1}|, \sections{#1}}

so that:

\Hume[Treatise]{3}[1][2]

would typeset “Treatise, book 3, part 1, section 2”.

\Homer [hwork i] {hbook i} [hlinesi]

can be created by:

\DeclareClassicWorkFormat{\textit{#1},}

\newpagination {\books} {book} {books} { and }

\newpagination {\lines} {line} {lines} { and }

\newclassic {Homer} {\books{\classicsRoman{#1}}|, \lines{#1}}

so that:

\Homer[Odyssey]{3}[100--2]

will typeset: “Odyssey, book III, lines 100–2”.

3.1 Caveat

Citation styles created by the classics package can also be used in conjunction with standard \cite, biblatex, natbib, etc.

A simple classics pagination command created by \newpagination can be used directly within the optional argument to \cite:

\cite [\pages{hnumber i}] {hkey i}

However, a complex classics citation command created by \newclassic can be used within the optional argument to \cite only if it is enclosed in braces.

\cite [{\Homer{hbook i}[hlinei]}] {hkey i}

For example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{classics}

\newclassic{Homer}{#1|:#1}

\begin{document}

\cite[{\Homer{3}[100--2]}]{Odyssey}

\begin{thebibliography}{10}

\bibitem[Od.]{Odyssey} Homer. \textit{Odyssey}.

\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}
