Good point, that would be the simplest solution. However, should it also work for other items than just author? Looking at the Wikipedia page, the use of ibidem may extend to the authors, book title, or even the entire reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibid so what would be the best way to implement this? Just doing it for authors could be implemented within the Authors formatter: \format[Authors(IbidStr= "ibid.")]{\author} where the default would be to not use any string. However, it would probably be better to make it more general: \format[ibidem(IbidStr = "ibid.")]{\author} \format[ibidem(IbidStr = "---")]{\booktitle} However, how would that work for an entire reference? /Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
