A while back, years in fact, I found a citation template for WordPerfect that applied the formats suggested in Elizabeth Shown Mills’ book. Alas, now that I understand it, I can no long find the little devil.
Has anyone here seen it (or better, downloaded it)? I’d like to see if there isn’t a way to obtain it again and apply a programming language to assist in its implementation.
Thanks,
Happy Dae.

But I also want online collaboration, and multimedia support (not, of course, for the print version), and so these days I use MediaWiki. With its ‘Cite’ extension, it gives me everything that I want in terms of source citations, and such flexibility that I can do things just as I would wish.
Of course, this doesn’t take into account the desire of many family researchers to share their information in a machine readable way. But I’ve never yet found the need for that…
