Document with examples of the problem
a) LibreOffice 4.3.3.2 from Debian testing distribution. b) etc. See attached Document with examples of the problem. Four books are referenced in this document, each having an ISBN, a URL reference, neither or both. The bibliography comes out as: Chapman, J. (1988), Tell me who you are. Hanslope: J. and E. Chapman in association with SPA, ISBN: 9781854210265 Available from: http://www.enlightenment-intensives.info/storage/TellMeWhoYouArepart1.pdf [Accessed: 14th August 2012] Darwin, C.

London: John Murray, ISBN: Available from: http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?itemID=F1142&viewtype=text&pageseq=1 [Accessed: 9th December 2014] Dickson, A.

Williams, ISBN: Available from: [Accessed: ] The enhancement I am requesting would make the spacer text ("ISBN", "Available from:" "[Accessed: " and "]") conditional on the relevant field containing data. The result in the above example would be: Chapman, J. (1988), Tell me who you are. Hanslope: J. and E. Chapman in association with SPA, ISBN: 9781854210265 Available from: http://www.enlightenment-intensives.info/storage/TellMeWhoYouArepart1.pdf [Accessed: 14th August 2012] Darwin, C.

(2012), A Woman in Your Own Right. London: Quartet books, ISBN: > 9780704372696 Available from: [Accessed: ] To see the data stored in the entry, 1) Right-click on the field "[Dickson, A. (2012)]" 2) Navigate: Bibliography Entry -> Edit CONFIRMED: Even when data is not available for a given field, the "spacer text" or perhaps "Field labels" are still included in the output in the Bibliography, and it doesn't look professional. I think this is more than an enhancement request. I'm going to bump it up to a low-level bug, as this negatively impacts the quality of displayed bibliographic data. Status -> NEW |
