Summary: [refer] citation style undocumented for classical macro packages Project: GNU troff Submitted by: barx Submitted on: Sat 07 Aug 2021 02:13:43 AM CDT Category: Preprocessor refer Severity: 1 - Wish Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Peter Schaffter observes in http://lists.gnu.org:443/archive/html/groff/2021-08/msg00019.html: "Nowhere is there any indication what style of bibliographic formatting is provided by the ms/mm/me implementations of refer(1), a matter of some importance for authors preparing submissions and students writing papers. Mom is upfront about formatting in MLA style, which is useful to groffers seeking a macro package that does MLA. I believe the other packages should follow suit and state, in their manpage or in refer(1), which style guide is being followed for refer(1) bibliographies." _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61018> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
