Many people suffered from editing bibliography of papers, especially at the moment near the deadline. For your readers’ convenience, Bibliography for Movable Type generates entries of references in MLA and APA formats, the most popular standard documentation formats, on the page of your post. Your readers can simply copy the entry and paste it on their list of reference to save time and to keep correctness.


May 21, 2004: Chieftain has fixed this script for hte problem of displaying on mozilla/firebird browsers. Download the new script here.

Script:
<div class="blogbody"> <p><font face="Courier New" color="#666666">MLA Style： <br><$MTEntryAuthor$>. &quot;<$MTEntryTitle$>.&quot; <u><$MTBlogName$></u>. <$MTEntryDate language="en" format="%B %e, %Y"$>. <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> var enabled = 0; today = new Date(); var day; if(today.getMonth()==0) day = "January" if(today.getMonth()==1) day = "February" if(today.getMonth()==2) day = "March" if(today.getMonth()==3) day = "April" if(today.getMonth()==4) day = "May" if(today.getMonth()==5) day = "June" if(today.getMonth()==7) day = "July" if(today.getMonth()==8) day = "September" if(today.getMonth()==9) day = "October" if(today.getMonth()==10) day = "November" if(today.getMonth()==11) day = "December" document.write(day," ",today.getDate(),","," ",today.getYear()); </SCRIPT>. &lt<$MTEntryPermalink$>&gt;.</font></p> <p><font face="Courier New" color="#666666">APA Style： <br><$MTEntryAuthor$>. (<$MTEntryDate language="en" format="%Y, %B %e"$>). <i><$MTEntryTitle$></i>. Retrieved <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> var enabled = 0; today = new Date(); var day; if(today.getMonth()==0) day = "January" if(today.getMonth()==1) day = "February" if(today.getMonth()==2) day = "March" if(today.getMonth()==3) day = "April" if(today.getMonth()==4) day = "May" if(today.getMonth()==5) day = "June" if(today.getMonth()==7) day = "July" if(today.getMonth()==8) day = "September" if(today.getMonth()==9) day = "October" if(today.getMonth()==10) day = "November" if(today.getMonth()==11) day = "December" document.write(day," ",today.getDate(),","," ",today.getYear()); </SCRIPT> from <$MTEntryPermalink$></font></p> </div>
The example is right above the comment section with few Chinese words. Hopefully they will not confuse you. If you use the script above, the generated entries should look like:

MLA Style:
FreeLeaf. "Bibliography for Movable Type." Speak OUT. January 6, 2004. January 9, 2004. <http://www.leafportal.org/MT/archives/000040.html>.

APA Style:
FreeLeaf. (2004, January). Bibliography for Movable Type. Retrieved January 9, 2004 from http://www.leafportal.org/MT/archives/000040.html

This script is FREE to modify, FREE to reproduce, and FREE to distribute without giving any credit of any notification to me, for it is just a simple task. Copyright of this script is discarded.
