Issue 4292

I have Split my Bibliographic Database enhancement proposals into 4 seperate proposals.   
My full proposal and links to relevant wweb based information is at   
http://www.users.bigpond.com/dnwilson/biblio1.html   
   
Proposal 1.   
  
I propose that we support the footnote or endnote method as well as the current Author-date    
in-text method eg(DNWilson2002). As one example this defined in the ?Chicago Manual of Style? (Documentation   
 is on the web at http://www.fsu.edu/~library/guides/chicago.html .).    
    
I suggest that we modify the ?Bibliographic Entry? Dialog box to allow the definition of the citation    
 reference. I suggest adding a new button ?Define Citation?. This would bring up a dialog box with     
a selection button ?Different First and Subsequent citation formats?. This dialog box would have    
 two tabs ?Citation Format? and ?Subsequent Citations? (this second tab would only be active if     
?Different First and Subsequent citation formats = True?. The tab dialogs would be identical to     
the ?Insert>Indexes and Tables>Type =Bibilography>Entries Tab? dialog box and its code. It would     
just store its output under a different field name.    
    
For the Author-Date method, the user could set ?Different First and Subsequent citation formats = False?,    
 and set up Brackets and short name field eg (WILSON2002.  
For the footnote / endnote citation method the user could define the appropriate reference Inital string eg     
 
?Oisin and Patrick? in Irish Myths and Legends, Lady Gregory. (London: Running Press, 1989) 412-421.     
 
Then set up up Subsequent shorter string eg.    
 
?Oisin and Patrick? in Irish Myths and Legends, 412-421.     
 
or just    
    
?Oisin and Patrick?, 412-421.    
(That is without the publication details.)
