Thanks for the help.
Regarding the documentation, I suggest that the first line in 6.3.2 be
changed from:
The *:sort* option of the |the-bibliography|
<http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/doc/user-22.html#the-bibliography>
markup is used for sorting the bibliography entries. There are three
pre-existing functions for sorting entries:
to:
"The *:sort* option of the |the-bibliography|
<http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/doc/user-22.html#the-bibliography>
markup is used for sorting the bibliography entries. There are three
pre-existing functions for sorting entries by author, date or
identifier. These funclions are loaded by putting
(use-modules (skribilo biblio))
at the top of the document."
Reading through the bibliography section of the manual I see the need
for a complete example to illustrate how the various commands, given as
prototypes, are used in practice.
In the scientific publications for which I write, the common manner of
citing publications is by author and year. For example: "Mason (1979)
demonstrated how silly science can be. This is in complete contrast to
earlier authors (Einsten, 1924; Schroedinger, 1930) with their serious
approach to their work." The entries are then sorted alphabetically,
without an identifier. I guess that in order to have that citation
style and reference list I would need to hack something like Ex. 31 and
put it in the document?

By the way: what|*is*** |(*bib-table*)? Do the asterisks designate
text? Again, a usage example would really make the documentation clearer.
Cheers,
Roger
