A Citation Style Language aware extension could, in theory, support all 8,000+ formatting styles that are in the CitationStyle.org repository, which utilises a CC-BY-SA 3.0 (unported) license. >but is fully in scope for projects like Zotero and Mendeley--or the commercial Those two programs use Citation Style Language for bibliographic formatting. ##### The simplest approach to rewriting the Bibliographic Component, is to abolish the one database for all citations approach that is currently used. Instead, have one database for every medium and format that is cited. This is to cover oddities, such as _The APA Manual of Style_ requiring videos on YouTube to be cited differently from videos on other Internet sites, and movies made for TV be cited differently from movies that had a theatrical release, and if both a theatrical release and made for tv, to have yet another format. How to correctly cite content has gotten so much more complicated in the last decade, that one can no longer assume that citations unambiguously point to the specific content that is being cited. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
