Re: Citations from different sources

/ Pablo Rodriguez <oinos@web.de> was heard to say:
[...]
| I think the easiest way to expose my questions is to write two
| references with which I don't know how to tag. If anyone is so kind
| to tag them for me (considering both contexts, footnotes and info).
| Here they are:
|
| John Wayne, "Understanding Cowboys" in The MGM Review, 3/3 (2000),
| http://www.mgm.com/3/3/wayneucb.html.
|
| John Wayne, "Understanting Cowboys" in John Ford (ed.), Western, MGM
| Press, California 2001, pp. 342-435.

I really don't know what you mean by "in both contexts". I'm not even sure
what your question is.

| By the way, what happens when a given book has more than one editor?
| (Wouldn't be an editorgroup tag very useful in such cases?)

You can put multiple editors in an <authorgroup>. I suppose that tag
should really have been named "contributorgroup" or something.

| When handling with reference quotes, I think that one essential tag
| is the one that gives the location of the quoted text (such as
| pagenumber). Is there a tag for this? It would be very useful when
| it could handle volume, section, paragraph, page, column and verse
| numbers. Maybe not all appear on a particular reference, but I think
| that these are the most important kinds of classes for locating
| quotes.

Again, I'm a bit confused. Can you provide a more concrete example of
what you mean?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
