Ok, ok.  The 'right' way to do citations is the way LaTeX  and Eplain 
do it :-) (or maybe APA style).

Sigh.  My daughter's English teacher wants citations done the
old-fashioned way (aka MLA style).  You know, a genuine footnote with
the full citation the first time a work is cited, then the usual 'op
cit' and 'ibid' in italics later on in the same chapter.  Et cetera ad
nauseum.

Does anyone have a style file or Eplain macro to do this EASILY or will
my daughter have to do it the ugly manual way?  (at least the footnote
formatting would be covered).  Something on ymir or sun.soe.clarkson.edu?

I'm a rank amateur at this point (not even a novice :-) and I'd like to
avoid having to do either the manual stuff or write my own macros.

Piet?  -dh?  Anyone?

Oh, ******THANKS!!!!*****
