I don't think you need $, either.

That’s true. Thank you for pointing that out.

Would it be complicated to add additional custom fields to Bookends, as I mentioned earlier?

You are right, I replaced all ~ characters with $, and that works well too. So they seem to be interchangeable here.

Holy Moses! I’ve done it!

a: s {$[$d, řu20~]~^$[$d, řu19~]~^$[$d, řu4~]~^$[$d$]$}

Thank you for your help. You put me on the right track.
Happy days are back again! :–)

To be fully Bookends-autonomous you can assign a user field for this purpose. But all user fields are already taken! This is what I have always found that needs to be improved in Bookends. People working in STEM subjects only need the *latest* edition of a book or an articles and consequently only ...

{d u20 ^d u19 ^d u4^d}

But now I need to enter the superscripts before u20, u19, and u4.
How can I do that?

I think I can do it with this:

{d řu20 ^d řu19 ^d řu4^d}

A Nisus macro scans the document and then replaces all ř with the superscripted number “1”.

This is pretty good
{d u20 ^d u19 ^d u4^d}

But now I need to enter the superscripts before u20, u19, and u4.
How can I do that?

this simplified example might help
{d u5 u20 ^u19 u5 ^u4 u5 ^d}

u5 by me is Call Num.
Did you introduce u5 intentional, or was it a mistake?

{d u5 u20 ^u19 u5 ^u4 u5 ^d} just gives me the Year [= 2015], nothing else.

I’m having a problem with creating a conditional citation in the subsequent optional field. I have read about Conditional groups on p. 242 in the User Guide, but that didn’t solve the problem. The books I keep in Bookends often have 3 or even 5 different publishing dates; and as someone who works in...

I don’t know how this is implemented in the iOS version, but in the Desktop version Bookmark automatically keeps track of the date and time when a reference was added. In the library window, right-click on the top bar and select “Added”. You can then easily sort the list according to the date and ti...

Luckily, one user field was free, so I turned it into a “year” field. That did the trick.

Thank you.

For journal articles I want the first citation to have a full date, but subsequent citations year-only. Is this possible? Enabling or disabling the button “Use year-only for date” seems to apply to BOTH first citations and subsequent citations. Or in other words, if I disable the option (= “Use year...

I'm a college professor. For STEM subjects? Am I right? I'm trying to understand your workflow. I can't see any reason why an English teacher, for example, would want to use LaTeX to create academic manuscripts, syllabus and the like. For anything shorter than an article (~10,000 words), I write in...

I didn't know how to enter those characters from the keyboard macOS doesn't seem to come with a Geʽez script (Amharic) keyboard, so one has to use the Character Viewer and drag each letter into the application one is working in.

I think I should rename this filter to reflect its new capabilities. Should I call it … I'll have to think about that. I would then suggest something that indicates the universal character of this consortium, a speaking name. It doesn't have to be a translation of the real name(s), especially becau...
