I got a better idea: hyperlinks. I put something like <a xlink:href="#bibliography-smith73-nobrackets">Smith and Wesson (1873)</a> ...and in the bibliography at the end of the document, something like: <p> <bookmark type="start" name="bibliography-start"> Bibliography <bookmark type="end" name="bibliography-start"> </p> <p> <bookmark type="start" name="bibliography-smith73-nobrackets"> Smith and Wesson (1873) "Winchester deluxe short rifle". Wild West. </bookmark type="end" name="bibliography-smith73-nobrackets"> </p> <p> <bookmark type="start" name="bibliography-end"> <bookmark type="end" name="bibliography-end"> </p> This is nice, because it allows you to directly jump from the reference to the apropriate bibliography entry; however, I don't know how it looks in print -- having a link in a document (even a link created by Abiword) seems to crash Abiword whenever I'm trying to print it. > Alternatively you could invent your own tag just add a line or two to > make sure it is recognised by the abiword importer. > > see src/wp/impexp/ap/ie_imp_AbiWord_1.cpp > > Just add you own tag to the list of recognised tags you'll find in the > file. OK, I'll try it.

Most of the rest of the code is boiler > plate. I could probably subclass it or whatever you say :-) but my humble programming experience does not include C++ (only C/gtk and perl). I know this is not an arcane art, but I've got not much time right now :-( However, the bibliography perl script will be ready Real Soon Now(TM). > Look at Dom's Open Office importer plugin for clues. I will.
