In my previous post, I have suggested a different approach to the
current problem. What do you think of it?
Instead of having flags for every citation field, I suggested:
- have styles for citations
- AND allow more than one citation styles in the same document
-- styles are set globally (therefore, IF one decides to change a
style, he changes all citations at once; with flags he would have had to
change every one singly)
-- it would be difficult to construct wildly different styles
(something NOT easily done with flags)
-- and the formatting code would be more simple, because there are
NOT plenty of flags and exceptions to deal with; a new style is simply a
new style, created by the same formatting engine;
for example:
'default style' for citation: [Author <et al.> Year] (<> means only when
needed)
'style 1': [Author <et al.>]
'style 2': [Year]
'style 3': [Author <et al.>, <number>], IF author has more than one
papers in the same year
...
We would set for every citation a style. IF NO style set, OOo should
assume default.
What do you think of it?
