Comment 1 for bug 611941

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your postive comments!

It is in fact a "feature" not a "bug" in that the SBL standard requires
the full page reference for articles, etc the first time it is
referenced. The firstrefwithpage option was a concession to another
college that wanted this style.

Hence, I suspect we could just add another option which only displays
the specified page number, there are probably other institutions that
require similar behaviour.

I'll have a look into it. Feel free to implement it yourself and submit
a patch too.

cheers

David
