Thanks. What you have shown me works like I wanted, but now I have
other problems, which always seems to be the case when using \cite and
its variations.
I needed my entry to show up as:
Plunket-Powell, Karen. *Remembering Woolworth's*. (New York: St.
Martin's Press, 1999), 51
Instead it showed up as:
Plunket-Powell, Karen Remembering Woolworth's. New York: St. Martin's
Press, 1999 , 51
There are four problems: there is no period after the author's name;
the title is not italicizied; there are no parenthesis around the
publicantion place and publisher; there is an extra space between the
year and comma.
There may be ways to fix this, but I am also going to have to fix the
entries in the bibligraphy itself. It seems like using \cite with the
humanites is a near impossible task. I have always run into problems.
(Note that the MLA style is easy to implement in latex; in fact, it is
such a straightforward system, one doesn't even need to use \cite.
Unfortunately the thesis directors won't accept this style, though the
Chicago Manual of styles recomends it as the superior style to use.)
I see that you are a philosophy professor, so maybe you have had
better luck. For me I am doing only one paper that needs citations,
and the paper contains only 50 different sources, so it may be easier
to use my hack.
Thanks anyway for your help.
Paul
