Hello, This (http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm) and just about any other site I look at specifies publisher info as ": <publisher name>", whereas bibl-apa.tex specifies it as "<publisher name>, ". Why is the file called bibl-apa.tex if it doesn't follow APA rules? Am I missing something

Originally (years ago already), I reverse-engineered apalike from latex. It is quite possible I made a error there (or even that apalike had it wrong) but if no-one reports a bug it is not noticed.

Also, I've had quite a few incorrect bug reports about the styles, so I am no longer all that eager to change them at a single bug report. Two questions: do you have a definitive source somewhere? and are there any other problems you see in bibl-apa.tex?

I've never used bibl-apa, but my wife has a copy of the official APA style book. I will check this point (carefully!) today or tomorrow, and respond again when I have the info. David
