How to use the Journal.
Viewing Files
Links within the Journal are to hypertext markup language files (html). From mid-1996 onwards the markup process has been
automated from an rtf source file, including tables of contents and footnotes. Files are 'as published'; there is no
retrospective checking and
altering of references to outside sources. Users of modern software on a PC or Mac will find they can successfully print html
files, and may have no need of the alternative rich text format files.
Portable Document Format (PDF)
From [2008] 1 Web JCLI the html files have been available for download as pdfs. The pdfs replaced the rich text format (rtf) files that were in use from 1995 on.
Rich Text Format Files
RTF files were
provided because in the early days of the Journal there tended to be problems printing html files.
Any reference to Download in the Journal will give access to the rtf or pdf files for that issue. Your Web client may be
configured so that rtf files are loaded automatically into your local word processor. If you are a network user you may have to ask your network administrator
for advice.
The rtf files are also available in compressed (zip) format which will need to be unzipped to be read. The pdfs are not compressed.
Citing Web Journal of Current Legal Issues
The preferred method is O'Nions, 'The Marginalisation of Gypsies', [1995] 3
Web JCLI
The on-line Journal does not use page numbers. Partly this was because from 1995-1997 Blackstone Press Ltd published an
Annual Year Book with page numbers assigned after the publication of the on-line version.
