I have experience in "citation style". Its not that difficult IF your database it draws from is chunked appropriately. If its not chunked enough you'll have issues. On the fly conversion between, say, APA & Chicago Styles is I think doable in TW. In principle. One issue that is MUCH easier than normal on collated bibliographic academic data is understanding citation requirements, both in print and electronically. It is incredibly well documented. Its been an issue before computers and since and been finessed & documented infinitely. Josiah ...
