Hello all
I have this:

Technically I suspect it's a bit wrong really to have the attribution
inside the blockquote, but I'm happy with it as a separate paragraph in
the same colours as the blockquote. (and I'm the only one who's ever
likely to see this markup, so while I personally would like it to make
sense, it's not going to break anything to have it technically wrong :-) )
What I'm not happy with yet is the default font for the publisher,
publishing year and page number. Is there a wrapper which would fit
neatly around all of those and produce an HTML class tag by which I
could address it from a CSS stylesheet? because I'd like them -
including the brackets - to come out a bit smaller than the rest of it.
I've looked briefly through lots of things like biblioref and reference
and bibliosource. But they all either seem to be for completely
different things or else they say "Processing expectations: Suppressed.
Many of the elements in this wrapper may be used in presentation, but
they are not generally printed as part of the formatting of the wrapper.
It merely serves to identify where they occur."
So not sure if there is a thing and I'm missing it through
unfamiliarity, or if there just isn't one.
Thanks in advance for any clues!
Jennifer
