Hi Stuart. Thank you for the attention paid to my suggestion for improvement. (nothing new, of course, but expected).
I've been looking for the way to automatically format the references included in the files of LibreOffice and that task is complicated when we need to submit references in some specific format. The database for bibliographies that we currently have int LibO is a great help for the organization of the this information, but if we could count on an automatic way to format the references of these bibliographies according to specific standards with only select a preset style of footnote/endnote we would be enhancing the LibreOffice capabilities, because we could present the same bibliographic reference for different types of reports according to the required standard by only selecting the corresponding style. About the extension: What does not attract me it is that the extension compels me to use another software out of LibO, and I believe that LibO is too good to need a third party to carry out a task as simple as the format to an information which we have in a database made with LibO. *Ramón E.
