only CWYW "cite-while-you-write" facility is considered here |
RM: yes only CWYW "cite-while-you-write" facility is considered here : BFS acting as third party within the wp and inserting citations directly into the final document |

13.3 Can format more than one wp document (chapters) at the time |
||||
LM: either must generate master document or do an elaborate incremental generation
where footnotes can automatically use short form if the reference was cited in a previous chapter |
Pr: no (must generate master document) | En: no (must generate master document) | RM: no (must generate master document) | Papyrus: no (but can accumulate multiple documents to create a single global bibliography) |

for placeholders within the wp document |
||||
LM: 1 2 3 | Pr: 1 2 3 | En: 1 2 3 | RM: 1 2 3 | Papyrus: 1 2 |
13.7 Content and
structure of placeholders

Pr: 1; 1a; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 | En: 1; 1a; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 | RM: 1; 1a; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 | Papyrus: 5 RN or RefID; 7; |
13.8 Different
references same author same year |
||||

LM: none | Pr: 1 name or citation order or date A/D; 2; 3 (add switch /d); 4 (switches: /pt /ft) | En: 1 2 3 4 | RM: 1 name or citation order or date A/D; 2; 3 (add switch /d); 4 (switches: /pt /ft) | Papyrus: 1 (name or citation order or date); 2; 3; 4 by using {...} |
13.10 Final in-text citation format is different from placeholder |
||||
LM: yes | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes | Papyrus: yes |
13.11 Final
in-text citation format is ruled by ad hoc style within
db made up of: |
||||
LM: 1 2 3 4 5 (first and subsequent) 6 | Pr: 1 2 3 4 5 (first and subsequent) 6 | En: 1 2 3 4 5 6 + another extra footnote format. The latter handles repeated, consecutive, partially identical citations with very many options (short form, Ibid., op. cit. etc.) | RM: 1 2 3 4 5 6 | Papyrus: 1 2 3 (if altered on the fly) 4 (if formatted citation style via the "[[f ...]]" command) 5 6 |

13.13
Bibliographic reference list format ruled by db style
different for each RT |
||||
LM: 2 3 [4 will not make any difference between notes and in-text: it depends on style and RT, not on the location of the in-text citation] 5 if within hidden wp text | Pr: 1 3 [4 will not make any difference between notes and in-text: it depends on style and RT, not on the location of the in-text citation] 5 (ad hoc /h switch or hidden wp text) | En: 1 4 5 (hidden text) | RM: 1 3 4 [4 will not make any difference between notes and in-text: it depends on style and RT, not on the location of the in-text citation] 5 (ad hoc /h switch or hidden wp text) | Papyrus: 2 3 5 |
13.14 Control over
reference list format done directly by the BFS sw, rather than by wp |
||||
LM: 1 2 3 4 5 | Pr: 2 3 4 5 | En: 2 3 4 (line spacing only between records) 5 | RM: 2 3 4 5 | Papyrus: 2 4 5 as far as citation numbering is concerned |
13.15 Duplicates are automatically removed from the list |
||||
LM: yes | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes | Papyrus: yes |
13.16 Reference
list sort order |
||||
LM: 1 2 | Pr: 1 2 3 (but does not include Custom option) | En: 1 2 (within each style) | RM: 1 2 3 (only Manuscript/Citation order and Author-Date) | Papyrus: 1; 2 (only Manuscript order and Author-Date) |

13.20 More citations of the same reference can bear same number |
||||
LM: yes | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes | Papyrus: yes |
13.21 In text formatted citation can have different format depending on RT |
||||
LM: yes | Pr: yes | En: no, one in-text style format for all RTs | RM: yes | Papyrus: no, one in-text style format for all RTs; RT-dependent formatted citation via "[[f...]]" command |
13.22 Other |
||||
LM: | Pr: | En: - can remove all third party codes from the formatted document to be forwarded to the publisher; - "Traveling library" : in order to let an author work on a formatted document prepared by another author -without having his En db at hand-, the MS-WORD document -via CWYW- actually swallows the whole bibliographic record (apart from Notes and Abstract) and embeds it in the document - can instantly format record in the final style, before generating the document and the bibliography list - can alter the basic placeholder by adding suffixes, prefixes, notes, pages in a really smooth way, also without resorting to coded commands |
