Comma for Journal Article's First Occurrence

I'm using SBL Handbook of Style. One of its idiosyncrasies is that it requires a colon for the first appearance of the journal article. For example: Danny Zacharias, "Journal article Title," JBL 100 (2006): 19. I'm able to get BE to produce the following: Danny Zacharias, "Journal art...

More Control Output of Individual Resources

My situation: I'm dissertating. I have hundreds of citations from sundry disciplines. Moreover, my institution neither adheres to a standard style guide (loosely based on Turabian) nor publishes a style-guide in a Format for biblio-manager. My problem: My problem is with the Formats Manager and tryi...
