While it would be nice to have all the bibliographies in a single format, my first concern is that they be adequately tagged, so that the fields can be pulled out and identified, and that the tagging scheme be defined somewhere. Postings as untagged text should be discouraged (well, if that's the way the text is available, I suppose it's preferable to not posting); those of us who would like to do things with the bibliographies other than printing and reading them really need the tagging. Chapter-level tagging is great, but I don't think tbl is the appropriate method. -- scott preece gould/csd - urbana uucp: ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece arpa: preece@gswd-vms
