Hi Taco,

If that's the case, then the \cite command does the wrong thing by default,
since it generates references as bracketed numbers. My complaint was not one
of default style, but of inconsistency: \cite uses bracketed numbers, while
the list of references just uses author names and years (which I now
understand to be "APA style".

This also means that this is a MkIV problem, my example did generate (author,
year) style references with MkII.

Gr.

Matthijs
