do a search in comp.text.tex, there were several proposals
for citations with urls.
Thanks, I checked this out.
Best way seems to be to include it in some other field (e.g. Note or How
Published) and use \url{www.the_url.com}. Means you can't do it directly
through Pybliographic, though, but that goes for a few other things too (like
translators' names, for example).

Another BibTeX/Pybliographic question
BibTeX seems to be the flavour of the month (maybe for version 2.0 Lyx will have its own BibTeX interface, and we'll be saved all these problems!). OK, I finally got MLA style working (thanks, Herbert!) but URLs don't show up. I can get a URL to come up by using a different field, but the effect is ugly. Is there any way to force this (MLA style is not the only culprit, BTW)? On the subject of bibliography styles, I'm revising a textbook on how to write term papers. To date I have advised students to use APA in social sciences and MLA in humanities, but to be honest, I'm not too fond of either. What I'm looking for is a style that is unobtrusive (like APA is -- not!) and good for electronic sources. Anyone have any favourites? Robin
