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.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't say I've been looking at the footnotes end of things for a while, and I know you have raised this issue before and I'll keep it on the todo list.

How's that todo list coming. :)
#3
Summer kind of got in the way of software development :-)
Once that miserable weather comes back productivity should really pick up!

While you're on fire ...

Is 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

I haven't looked into it yet, but I'll put it on the official TODO list...

#7
Has this crept up the TODO list at all?
#8
Not so much, but as long as you keep bringing it to the top of the issue queue it has a better chance :-)
Ron.
