More flexiblity with "ibid" - is it possible?
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:32 pm
Hello,
I was wondering whether there can be more flexibility in using "ibid" citations. It works great to spot and use "ibid" where necessary, but I would like, if possible, to have the possibility of using some wild cards, such as Author, in the formulation of an "ibid' citation.
Thus, instead of having
ibid., p.23
I am aiming at something like
John Smith, ibid., p.23
with the ibid text in italic and author extracted from previous or citation copied within the word processor...
Many thanks!
