Wrong. Computers shouldn't typeset at all. It's the people doing it=20 wrong. It makes sense to follow the same rules in quoting. In German we have=20 this: use the punctuation from the quote (eg. "Some text," or "some=20 text?"), if there is none and you need it, place it outside (eg. "Some=20 text", or "some text"?). In the footnotes the title doesn't end with punctuation, so in German it=20 would be "Title", almost always (except the title ends with something,=20 then it would also contain it: "title?", bla). So it's only natural that "title," journal looks very weird to my German=20 eyes. In addition to that, I looked at 9.ps and it was also different there=20 ("title", journal). sirjofri
