Can't make ISBN print in bibliography
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b3c344f0adba6016612e05447039f44.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Still having trouble with that pesky ISBN field in my bibliography. The file makes it to the book.bbl file but never prints no matter what .bst file I reference. Here is an extract from the generated book.bbl file: \startpublication[k=Bah2011,t=book, a={{Bah}},y=2011, n=4,s=Bah11] \author[]{Tavmjong}[T.]{}{Bah} \pubyear{2011} \title{Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program} \isbn{978-0-13-27641-8} \city{Upper Saddle River, NJ} \pubname{Prentice-Hall} \stoppublication Any suggestions? Using MKIV currently. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Use \setuppublicationlayout[book] (explained in the bib manual).

Thanks for trying. I tried modfying one of the standard format files (apa) and ran things again. Still no isbn data. Sometimes it is easier to write a program than to modify someone else's. The task is not that complex. So I will write my own program to extract data from a file of information, perhaps the existing .bbl, file and format the selected data in an accepted TeX format. I'll input that file. It will take less time that I have spent already. And it will work, including the ISBN field.
