tony-inpo Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hello all: This is an application allows the user to create Harvard References easily. It's pretty specific so I'm not sure if many of you will have need to use it but if anyone could trial it for me that would be great.

User6060 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You should add different styles like APA and MLA (Y) good work though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-588984174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimate99 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Very nice! and yes, different styles like APA and MLA would be great if added!!! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-588985657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't understand, what does this app do that MS Word doesn't? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-588987203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony-inpo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't understand, what does this app do that MS Word doesn't? Can Word create reference lists? I know they have templates which you can edit, but I wasn't aware that it allows the user to input data which is assembled into properly formatted reference lists. If it can please show me as it would save me the trouble of trying to iron out all the bugs :p (joking ha ha). You should add different styles like APA and MLA (Y) good work though. I'll look into it, I've never heard of either so I'll do some research and get cracking on it later. Any good sites you guys know of would be useful. (Y) You could write one that works well under linux if you want ;) I can't get this one to run under mono or wine :( What version of the .net framework does mono support? The Harvard Referencer does use bits of 2 so perhaps it's not properly supported? I might, maybe one day rewrite it in Java which would bypass that problem. Thanks for the positive feedback guys, if you like it, could you leave a comment on my blog - it would be nice to have some positive comments about the Harvard Referencer on there. :cool: Thanks guys and any other suggestions either email me or post on here/my blog.

Angel Blue01 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You could write one that works well under linux if you want ;) I can't get this one to run under mono or wine :( Hey, now that's an idea! If you don't mind I'll write it in Java, since that the only non .NET language I know, good luck porting to Mono though, I got lost reading the tutorials. In the US MLA and Chicago-Turabian are the most common, so that would be really nice. :D Does anyone mind command line apps? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-588989036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony-inpo Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Does anyone mind command line apps? :p If you do want to port it you'll have to come up with a way of preserving the formatting, i.e. having text, italic text, text, which I presume would be impossible on the command line. You'll have to do it with a GUI if at all. Again to create the formatting you'll need to use something like a JTextField, but I'm not sure if you can do the alternative formatting in one of those. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-588989910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted November 13, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sort your spelling out. There is no such word as "multipul" - it's "multiple". I am not gonna download your app, but I suggest that (based upon posting a screenshot with such an error) you check every label, dialogue and alert.

tony-inpo Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sort your spelling out. There is no such word as "multipul" - it's "multiple". I am not gonna download your app, but I suggest that (based upon posting a screenshot with such an error) you check every label, dialogue and alert. Right thanks for that. I try very hard to get spelling right but it's something I really struggle with and so "multipul" must have slipped through my screening. While we're on the subject - "dialogue" means a conversation between two people - you meant to say "dialog". To Slimy: Thanks for pointing that out, I've never noticed that before. Anyone who wants the APA style please follow Slimy's advice.

tony-inpo Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 MLA and APA please :) I'm thinking about adding both of them, although I'll probably just make different programs for each style, although as Slimy has said Word 2003/2007 does have these capabilities already.

Long Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 If you want APA, Word 2007 has it pretty much covered. It however does not do Harvard. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/574473-harvard-referencer/#findComment-589022845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony-inpo Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 If you want APA, Word 2007 has it pretty much covered. It however does not do Harvard. I wonder why it doesn't do Harvard. APA is the standard for America as far as I understand so I presume they've covered that first.
