With Nisus 2.11 I'm using the Cross-Reference facility to do my citation
management, and though I've just started with Nisus, I think it'll work
pretty well.  Since Nisus has a nice built-in macro facility, I'm anticipating
that I'll be able to fix things up if they don't work as I want them to...

Nisus 2.11 came with an "Update Figures" macro which I haven't tried yet.
Here's part of the description: "This macro will renumber the figures
in your document.  The figure captions must match the following format 
[stuff deleted...] Because the desk accessory Calculator is used to simulate 
a sequence variable that starts at 1 and counts upward, this macro will not
work under multifinder."

Now it seems kind of funky to me that they're using the Calculator DA in
the macro, and the resulting interaction with multifinder is kind of
strange.  However, if I'm reading the manual correctly (p.256) then you
CAN make it work under multifinder by pressing Option at the proper time...

Anyway, I guess the bottom line is that you CAN do alot of stuff with
Nisus by extending it with macros. Perhaps these extensions won't always
be particularly elegant...  I'm not sure though.  Again, I've only had Nisus
for about a week, and overall I'm quite impressed.
