Olá Mirko,
This is why I really enjoy to try to answer to other's doubts: we always
learn a whole lot!
It seems that apacite has been improved and that manual now refers to
new features that I didn't know about. And they're pretty handy. This is
what I did:
* As I'm in Windows, I've gone to MikTeX/Update and updated all the
packages;
* I've also updated my JabRef to version 2.3b3;
* In JabRef, I went to Options/Set General Fields and created a new
field named "lastchecked", in the General group (the General Group
now reads
General:crossref;keywords;file;doi;url;lastchecked;citeseerurl;comment;owner;timestamp);
* I erased all the "howpublished" cryptographic strings with the
\url{foo} markup and placed simple date references in the
"lastchecked" field, like "October 21, 2007".
* and that was it!
You no longer need the \url markup because the apacite package now
automatically applies it to the url field; you no longer need the
\bibnodot instruction because apacite formats the urls correctly,
without any dots after; you no longer need to write "Retrieved" or
"from", because apacite automatically places them before and after the
"lastchecked" field values. Great!
I'm not sure if you're using JabRef, but you can, of course, do it all
directly in BibTeX. Its source gets roughly like this:
@MISC{YOUR_BIBTEX_KEY,
author = {Last, First},
title = {Title},
year = {2007},
lastchecked = {October 21, 2007},
url = {http://www.foo.bar}
}
And the output would be something like this:
Last, F (2007). Title. Retrieved October 21, 2007, from http://www.foo.bar
So, thanks for asking! :-D
Saudações,
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
thank you very much for your response. That worked well. I however recognized
that the
\bibnodot{.} command as described in apacite.pdf page 21 did not work with lyx.
Does it
work in your case?
The author of apacite.pdf also describes that the same thing can be
accomplished with the
url and the lastchecked field but I don't understand how. Do you know how?
Thanks again.
Best,
Mirko
