medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Not to put too fine a point on it, but if I'm remembering corredctly, Bill actually liked the angle brackets for URLs because in earlier versions of word (all the way back to Word 2.0) you *needed* to put the URL angle brackets to activate the hyperlink. Way back then, I remember my students apologizing for the lines underneath the URLs in their bibliographies back in the mid-1990s. Now don't get me started on Bill hisself and his company... Now Word automatically recognizes web addys in a variety of forms and activates them automatically unless you tell Word otherwise. The MLA has indeed adopted angle brackets as a standard though the APA (American Psychological Association), which is used more widely in US colleges and universities, *does not* use any brackets whatsoever, and their citation form for websites looks downright goofy. dkline _________________________________________ Daniel T.
