Re: Several Questions concerning formatting

First of all: jurabib is AMAZING! I tried a little more (and erred
much more), but now I get to understand how jurabib (or any style)
works. And after newcommanding, renewcommanding etc., I finally got
the desired results complying with the MLA style guide. At least for
the less complicated kinds... There are only a few questions left:

1) the \jbbstasep is written in the same font as the authors it
separates, which looks strange when the authors are set in smallcaps;
using sth. like \renewcommand*{\jbbstasep}{\normalfont{, and }}
doesn't work, as it not only sets the separator but also the last
author to normal font

2) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jurabib/message/35 explained how to
exchange editor and title in edited books, and it worked fine with the
old version, but not with the new beta :(

3) again the edited book: the bibliography says surnameauthor,
firstnameauthor; surnameeditor, firstnameeditor, \editorname. title
etc; is there a possibility to change it to \Edbyname firstnameeditor
surnameeditor? Due to \citationreversed, that is the case in the
footnotes.

4) which sequence controls the optional []-argument in citations
(where the e.g. the pagenumber can be inserted); I'd like to change it
via \renewcommand to a fullstop.

Did that, and found out that I had a copy in my \texmf\tex\latex... To
my excuse: there are so many files, and the .sty was at the very end.
Did it all again, and it works perfectly.

That's it! Thanks a lot for that. And I tried, after having read a
similar post in the German de.comp.text.tex group, to modify it to
include periodicals and incollections as well (I guess that is what
Charles suggested?). When modifying Jens' example didn't work,I simply
added another 
\ifthenelse{\equal{\jb@@type}{article}}{%
              ``#1''%
          }{%
, I copied that other post verbatim and inserted a comma:

\makeatletter
    \renewcommand*{\jbshorttitlefont}[1]{%
        \ifthenelse{%
            \equal{\jb@@type}{article}%
         \or
            \equal{\jb@@type}{periodical}%
          \or
             \equal{\jb@@type}{incollection}%
    }{%
        "#1,"%
    }{%
         \textit{#1}%
    }%
    }
\makeatother

But both won't work with incollection. I've worked around this by
defining \jbtitlefont globally the way it should look like for
articles and than redefine it again with Jens' code to suit books.

Cheers, Katrin

\AddTo\bibsenglish{%	
	\renewcommand*{\jbauthorfont}{\textsc}
	\renewcommand*{\jbbtasep}{ and } 
	\renewcommand*{\jbbfsasep}{, } 
	\renewcommand*{\jbbstasep}{, and }
}

\makeatletter
    \renewcommand*{\jbshorttitlefont}[1]{%
        \ifthenelse{%

         \or
            \equal{\jb@@type}{periodical}%
          \or
             \equal{\jb@@type}{incollection}%
    }{%
        ``#1,''%
    }{%
         \textit{#1}%
    }%
    }
\makeatother
