Create own BibTeX style or customize existing one?

I'm looking for a way to define new BibTeX style or to customize existing one. I have two reasons for this:

  1. I want the author names/editors to be italic (for articles in book, book, magazines, encyclopedia etc)
  2. I want numbers at the beginning

Example:

  1. Secondname, B. Book title. Place Year. Site number.
  2. Article author, A. Article title. In: Book author, B, Book title, Place Year, site number.

Any suggestions?

P.S.: The OS is Ubuntu.

What is the difference between BibTeX and Biblatex?

BibLaTeX is the succesor format of BibTeX, it is the more modern format, which enhances bibtex. JabRef supports both formats. In the context of JabRef the main difference is just the different entry types and corresponding fields.

I'd recommend biblatex. It's not included yet with most TeX distributions at the authors request, but it is completely usable and very well documented. I think it will be less painful to use to get what you want, and also a better investment for the future as I think biblatex will quickly become the favored standard once it has it's 1.0 release.
