Ok. Sorry about that. I will sent it later today.

I am stumped. I cannot figure out why a reference is not appearing correctly in my citation and in my bibliography. It is a metatype. It is the book section of Book:Book Section metatype. I have both references correctly categorised in the inspector. I have use metatypes for all children selected in...

I think I've been thinking about this a bit wrong. In the Plato Journal style, you can either place a citation at the end of a sentence like this: "Zuckert thinks the definitions are inclusive (Zuckert, 2009, p. 691)." Or you can do it as an indirect quote, like this: "Zuckert (2009, ...

Dear Jon, Thank you for your incredibly swift reply, as always. I suppose I'd like to know exactly what the ^ does. Another way of looking at my problem is the following. For the Plato Journal format, where I have selected 'Enclose citations with parentheses', the ^ moves the author name outside the...

I need help dealing with two seemingly incompatible formats, and probably with my failure to figure out Mellel. I often use ^ to place the author in front of the citation, like this: {^Bondeson, 1975, #95029} Today I started experimenting with Mellel (6.2.2). I exported a Scrivener document, and con...

Thanks Jon.

Hi Jon, I am getting an odd behaviour. For most of my citations I use the circumflex ^ within my citations, for the name to appear outside brackets, as in "{^Burnyeat, 1990, #85036@142} argues that..." etc. But this journal (the same one from the previous thread) doesn't like parentheses a...

Thanks again Jon. I hadn't clued in to the fact that there was a drop-down menu there. As always, thank for being so attentive to questions like this.

Great idea. That should do the trick.

Hi Jon, I thought of another way to do it. I can duplicate the styles and make a version that includes the short title in the first citation and a version that does not. And then just classify my references appropriately. But in order to do this easily, it would help to be able to tell which referen...

Thanks Jon. I think I'll see if the editor is flexible enough to tolerate the short title in all cases.

I am submitting to a journal whose style guide asks for the following: " where you are abbreviating the title in subsequent citations , give the abbreviation in square brackets, thus: T. Brickhouse and N. Smith, Socrates on Trial [Trial] (Princeton, 1981), 91–4." So I know how to set this ...

I'm getting old and my eyes are not as good as they used to be. So I would like to know how to increase the font size for...pretty much everything and anything I see on the screen when I have bookends open: The list of groups on the left, the text in the list of references in the main panel, the tex...

Hi Jon, Thanks for your quick reply (as always). I have a terrible memory, but I could swear that until a few day ago all the references were in black font, regardless of the background colour? Am I just imagining that? And why did all the colours change when I installed Bookends on a second compute...

I set up Bookends on a new Mac yesterday, and now both on the new machine and my old the font for references that have a colour label has turned white (which for me is most of them). I don't know how to make it black again. Any thoughts?
