Dear all,

I read the manual but still don't get what the difference is between  
using Templates and using Styles. I read Styles are really hard to  
develop, so I was wondering how to accomplish the following:

As a law student, I use LaTeX (TeXShop editor for Mac) and have to add  
a lot of footnotes for case law, articles and books. Each of these  
classes have different official referencing rules, always depending on  
whether it's a footnote or a reference in the bibliography.

Uptill now, I made several templates in which I incorporated the  
\footnote{} command. In BibDesk I used the "Copy using [Template]"  
submenu and then pasted that in TeXShop.

Two questions:
- Can this be done easier? Is it possible that I type \cite{key} in my  
LaTeX editor and that LaTeX then automatically generates a footnote  
and a reference in the bibliography, using a different template  
depending on whether it's an article, a book,...

- In BibDesk, there's a Preview function which is very handy. Is there  
a way I can make the TeX preview be generated following the same  
templates? This would mean BibDesk used another template depending on  
the class of the source (article, book,...).
