Thank you Richard. Have a look at http://www.apastyle.org/elecgeneral.html for examples of what I would like to do. APA goes into much wilder details[1] but for my purposes those two examples, On-line Periodical and On-line Publication,would be just fine. 1. The creator of Papyrus a great biblio system for the older Macs claimed it was impossible to do a complete APA style reference list without errors. I believe he felt the system was a bit picky and arbitrary. However the format is used by about 1,000 journals and is commonly used as the basis for a lot of reports etc. And I grew up with it! > > John Kane wrote: > > I have been trying to use JabRef to handle > references. > > My first experiments have been fairly successful > but > > I am wondering how people handle a URL reference. > > > > For example I have a reference to a website ( see > > > http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/LyX/burdett2004.pdf > > ) and I don't see quite how to set it up in > bibtex or > > JabRef to work.
