User documentation is found in the file amsrdoc.pdf. Some example files (cite-xa.tex, cite-xb.tex, cite-xh.tex, cite-xs.tex and gktest.ltb) are also provided. 2) How do I define my own bibliography style? For information on customizing the formatting of references, see amsrefs.pdf, especially sections 4, 6.10 and 6.27. 3) I'm trying to use amsrefs with hyperref, but various bad things are happening. Unlike most packages, which must be loaded before hyperref, amsrefs must be loaded *after* hyperref: \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{amsrefs} 4) When I put review={MR0113214 (22 \#4052)}, in a \bib, there is no space between the review number and the preceding period in the printed output. You must use the \MR macro to mark MR reviews: review={\MR{0113214 (22 \#4052)}}, This will ensure the spacing is correct and also allow you to use the msc-links option.
