The .BST file type is for BibTeX Style Document. It is a plain text document with meta-data that is used for the LaTeX typesetting system for formatting and typesetting documents. The.BST files are stored in the TeX and LaTeX implementations of System and can be read using text editors or specialized programs developed specifically for viewing the information contained within this type of document.
Technical Details
BibTeX Style Document files are formatted with commands in alphabetical order followed by curly braces {}. The commands specify the formatting style and structure of the source documents written through LaTeX. The BST documents are used to format items such as articles, books, and manuscripts that require complex typesetting rules and order them properly for printing. They are also used for adding titles, author names, formatting of bibliographical entries and other specifications in order to achieve a perfect output when printing.
Similar file extensions to .BST include . The LBST file type is for LaTex BiBTeX Style Document, the .SLS file extension is for MS Style Sheet, the .DBS is used for dBASE Expansion File, the .MTX refers to Microsoft Expression Template and the TPLS file type is for Zope Page Templates.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BST) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BST extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BST file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BST extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BST extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BST file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BST file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BST file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BST file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BST file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
