Re: citation processing

> Has anyone written of knows of a stylesheet to process citations, eg:

eek you mean parse the final plain text citation to infer a marked up
version? Scary. I'm not sure that xsl (even 2.0) is really the best
language for that amount of natural language processing.

Surely no one writes that stuff by hand, didn't it always start out life
marked up in a citation database like bibtex or endnote or something?
So if you can get hold of the original source life is much easier...

I'll ask around but I think the authors cut and paste the citations
from other locations and they were subsequently stored in a single
<div> or <p> - the creator of the cms was very short cited ;-)

If you think its not really feasible to parse a plain text citation
into a marked up version then that's good feedback - it could well be
that a percentage need to be done by hand.
