In case anyone is interested in using Jurabib in LyX (see my earlier question), here's how to do it ...

Insert something allong the lines of the following in your preamble:

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[%
     titleformat=italic,%
     titleformat=commasep,%
     commabeforerest,%
     ibidem=strict,%
     citefull=first,%
     chicago,%
     pages=format,%
]{jurabib}
\renewcommand{\cite}{\footcite}

1. It is necessary to invoke babel in the preamble - having it set in Edit->Preferences->Language doesn't seem to work.
2. The options here are for a humanities paper using Chicago Manual of Style format. There are plenty of other configurations possible. With no options specified, you get the standard ones for legal papers. Check out the examples on the Jurabib homepage.
3. Don't use the lookat option, as it will generate errors.
4. The last line is important, otherwise you'll wind up with all your citations in the body of your text.


One glitch, though. I've noticed that in an article citation, the date appears between the volume number and the issue number; e.g.

_Journal of Religion and Film_ 5 October (2001), no. 2

Does anyone know what's causing this problem?
