No, biblioentry is for raw entries, for which you expect the stylesheet to sort out the elements into a standard format. Use bibliomixed for entries for which you arrange the order. A bibliomset might be used inside a bibliomixed. > 2. How do you handle citing websites where (according to APA and MLA) you > have to also list a URL and a last accessed date? Didn't we cover part of this in this exchange back in February? http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q1/msg01283.html This will require some customization work. > 3. Can cooked bibliographies have more than one author? If you mean bibliomixed, then the answer is yes. Bibliomixed is just a bag of elements arranged in the order you want to see them. Likely you will want to use an authorgroup element to contain multiple authors. > 4.

I don't think the XSL stylesheet converts a biblioentry into APA format, if that is what you are asking. If that format is widely used, it might make a useful option, though. 8^) Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises bobs@sagehill.net
