Thanks, those are great. It's looking good now. I don't suppose
there is someway to do 'reduction' so that:
Specific Author (2006), Specific Author (2007) would become "Specific
Author (2006, 2007)"
I realize that's getting a fairly long way into in-text citations,
which is probably outside the scope of templates.
Also, somewhat strangely I have a template set for Option-Drag but it
doesn't seem to 'take'. ie I always get html. Is there a
conflicting setting for option-drag somewhere?
Thanks,
James
