--d5fgVFIpYIMSuDNSLdgASfHuHiOantrI-6IPgl0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This is an email I accidentally sent to Katrin three weeks ago (though she was traveling at the time), intending to send it to this thread.=20 My offer still stands to help with the wiki and to offer up my Natbib-dependent mla.bst file (for what good that would do), as I'd very much like to use jurabib with full support of MLA. My own Jurabib skills are (only) a little better than they were then. Still, let me know if I can be of any help. Thanks, James Hi all, I'm really keen on using Jurabib, and I'm really keen on helping to get MLA working properly in any way I can. I'm new to Latex, and before discovering Jurabib this past weekend, I slaved away on an MLA bst file dependent upon Natbib (based upon makebst, but needing further tweaks), trying to bend it to my nefarious ends. Even so, Natbib's support for MLA-style parenthetical citations is pathetic at best. If only I'd spent the time on customizing Jurabib! The quick test drive I took was exactly all I never thought to hope for. Anyway, if you want anyone to help with the wiki, setting out usage guidelines and the like, I can help out. (As far as knowing what customizations one should make to Jurabib files, I am at square one.) Additionally, I can share my Natbib-dependent bst file if that would be any help, keeping in mind it's for the Bibliography (Works Cited) alone, and doesn't try to define the parenthetical stuff. --Incidentally, is there the equivalent of makebst for Jurabib? I can't imagine it would be as simple as it would for Natbib, since it seems the citational style is (fortunately) somewhat influenced by the bibliographic. No longer a lurker, I'm publicly watching this thread, hoping it goes somewhere and willing to help it get there. Thanks to the developers for the excellent tools, and to Katrin for taking the initiative! -James --- In [email protected], "Katrin Althans" <1stLuebbi@...> wrote: > > > Please could you create and fill a wiki page on=20 > >=20 > > http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Jurabib > >=20 > > about the MLA style with a description of the style and what > > customization you have done to LyX to make it work and what is not=20 > > working. >=20 > I will do that, but I only have a somewhat restricted access to the > net for the next few weeks (take my late reply as evidence...).
