Good idea. Here's what it looks like now: 1. Levy, S.B. (1964) Isologous interference with ultraviolet and X-ray irradiated bacteriophage T2. J. Bacteriol. 87:1330-1338. 2. Levy, S.B. and T. Watanabe (1966) Mepacrine and transfer of R factor. Lancet 2:1138. 3. Takano, I., S. Sato, S.B. Levy and T. Watanabe (1966) Episomic resistance factors in Enterobacteriaceae. 34. The specific effects of the inhibitors of DNA synthesis on the transfer of R factor and F factor. Med. Biol. (Tokyo) 73:79-83. 4. Levy, S.B. (1967) Blood safari into Kenya. The New Physician 16:50-54. 5. Levy, S.B., W.T. Fitts and J.B. Leach (1967) Surgical treatment of diverticular disease of the colon: Evaluation of an eleven-year period. Annals Surg. 166:947-955. As you can see, any single citation is broken over several lines as a result of a line break. I want it to look like this: 1. Levy, S.B. (1964) Isologous interference with ultraviolet and X-ray irradiated bacteriophage T2. J. Bacteriol. 87:1330-1338. 2. Levy, S.B. and T. Watanabe (1966) Mepacrine and transfer of R factor.

Now, since this is pasted, it might not even look good to you. But in the second example, the numbers are meant to be bullets and so the indentation would happen automatically (in Word). But for now they are just typed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
