How to Create Bibliography in FM?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Yes! I use bibLaTeX and LaTeX for articles like this too.

Of course, this is not WYSIWYG, and you have to learn LaTeX, but the PDF output is super clean and consistent indeed.

To edit LaTeX input files, I highly recommend TeXStudio - the virtually instantaneous PDF generation (with side-by-side clickable comparison to the source) makes it easy. Almost WYSIWYG in its speed.

Hi,

FM has never really been that great with such tasks. If it is an article you are writing in which you are going to cite references and you want a coherent style, then I would suggest using bibTeX/LaTeX or bibLaTeX/LaTeX.

However if you are wedded to FM then you can export your text from FM as rtf and use one of the MS Word linked applications like EndNote. Newer versions of Word have a built in referencing engine that I have not used but others say is pretty good. Given that amount of work you may be just as well to go with the above suggestion or type and format the references by hand. At least in FM you can define paragraph and character styles relative to the reference formats.
