Regarding footnote styles, how are separate citations of the same book handled? Will each footnote be able to cite different pages?
Example:
1. Jiminy Cricket, Walt Disney: The Unauthorized Biography (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1955) 78.
4. Jiminy Cricket, Walt Disney: The Unauthorized Biography (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1955) 112.
---
Will the footnotes automatically substitute "Ibid." for an identical previous entry, and "Id. at" (Idem) for the citation of a different page of the previous publication?
Example:
1. Forrest Gump, The Deconstruction of Camus' Existentialist Archtypes within the Social Framework of Post-Modern Dairy Farming Communes (San Francisco: Random House Publishing 1977) 24.
2. Ibid.
3. Id. at 88.
--
Will subsequent, yet non-sequential, citation footnotes be reduced to the author's last name and page number? [Note: This gets tricky when the author has more than one publication; I forget how this is resolved.]
Example:
1. Jesse James, Modern Anglo-Saxon Electronics (London: Double Tree Publishing, 1982) 73.
2. Buckminster Fuller, Miracle on Ice: The Tony Danza Story (Chicago: Knopf Company, 1974) 188.
3. James, 121.

Eric Link CreditAttribution: Eric Link commentedIs this handled now? We are using the footnote module integrated with the bibliography module, and it's working great. This issue is now coming up thought so I was wondering if this is in the queue or there were other thoughts on it? Thanks! - Eric

fm CreditAttribution: fm commentedHas this crept up the TODO list at all?
Comment #8
rjerome CreditAttribution: rjerome commentedNot so much, but as long as you keep bringing it to the top of the issue queue it has a better chance :-)
