Hi, I am writing my PhD thesis using FrameMaker 7. I am wondering if anyone has used a really good system for making bibliographies. I have found a couple of solutions such as fbib and citemaker, and I might eventually use one of them, but for now I am trying to use a simpler method because I am running Frame through CrossOver on my Macbook Pro, and additionally, I would like to avoid reentering all of my bibliographic info into BibTeX format if possible.
I currently have all of my bibliography entries in a table in the following format: [Abc03] Abc, Xyz, "A Title," A Journal, vol. 335, pp. 427-47, 2003. I am using a table so that the tag part ([Abc03] in the example) is in the first column of the table and can cross referenced. In the text I would like to cite a single entry like this: [Abc03], and multiple entries like this: [Abc03, Xyz90, Xyz02]. However, I can only figure out how to generate cross references in one of these two formats: [[Abc03], [Xyz90], [Xyz02]] or [Abc03], [Xyz90], [Xyz02], and neither of these is acceptable. The problem is that I can't figure out how to grab the "Abc03" part of the tag without grabbing the [ ] brackets too. Is there any way to hide the [ ] backets in the cross reference using conditional text or perhaps by putting the Abc03 part into some type of marker or variable? If not, does anyone have a suggestion for a better way to generate a bibliography? Also, if anyone has had good experiences with either fbib or citemaker and FrameMaker 7 that would be helpful too as using one of them might solve my problem too.
