Re: [jats-list] Best Practice Reference Format

[Martin Holmes <mholmes@xxxxxxx>]

I disagree. It's usually practical to use (for instance) TEI <bibl> with 
mixed content, marking up all the data with the appropriate elements 
where it appears in the content, but preserving the punctuation and 
spacing, like this:

<bibl type="book" subtype="monograph" 
xml:id="du_bosc_1645"><author><name><surname>Du Bosc</surname> 
(<forename>Jacques</forename>)</name></author>, <title level="m">La 
Femme hC)roC/que ou les hC)roC/nes comparC)es avec les hC)ros en toute sorte 
de vertus</title>, <pubPlace>Paris</pubPlace>, <publisher>A. de 
Sommaville et A. CourbC)</publisher>, <date when="1645">1645</date>.</bibl>

Cheers,
Martin
