Subject: HTML reports - Angle brackets in sources
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 17:18:06 -0800


Recently I've been generating HTML reports (a really neat trick I learned
from this great List). I've noticed, however, that e-mail addresses that
were entered with double angle brackets like this <<>> in the
Source don't appear in the endnotes. For example:

Full footnote in Source Definition:
<[AUTHOR], ><[AUTHOR E-MAIL], >[TITLE], (<[PUBLISHER ADDRESS]:
>[PUBLISHER]<, [PUBLISH DATE]>)<, [CD]><. [COMMENTS]>.

Printed report:
1. John Smith, <>, "Descendants of Alexander Breckenridge,"
(n.pub., 8 Apr 2003), p 15. [file obtained from author; well documented with
comments].

HTML output:
1. John Smith, , "Descendants of Alexander Breckenridge," (n.pub., 8 Apr
2003), p 15. [file obtained from author; well documented with comments].

So I thought, "Maybe I can live with that." and tried changing the
punctuation (in a different source) to get rid of the extra space and comma.
But that causes spacing problems.

Footnote in Source Definition:
<[AUTHOR]><[AUTHOR E-MAIL], ><"[TITLE]," ><[PUBLISHER], ><[DATE] ><(online:
[URL])><, [CD]>.

HTML output:
4. Mike Jones, "Some Progenitors (McClanahan, McClenahan)," AOL.Hometown,
Apr 2001 (online: http:/xxxxx/progen.htm).

Printed report:
4. Mike Jones<>, "Some Progenitors (McClanahan,McClenahan),"
AOL.Hometown, Apr 2001 (online: http:/xxxxx/progen.htm).

Is it possible to have one source that will produce the correct punctuation
in both types of report?
