OTHER CHANGES:

  • On the Show My Citations page AND when you create the RTF file - Use <P> </P> around each citation so that it's easier to format the citations with a hanging indent when they're pasted into a word-processing document. If each citation is a separate paragraph, a person will be able to add hanging indents to all the citations at once by selecting the whole document and then sliding the left-indent marker over in the document ruler. (With line breaks instead of paragraph markers between each citation, you can't do that.)

  • On disp_result.php - Change "on your PC, right click and choose Save Target As" to "on your PC, right click on the link and choose Save Target As."
