How can I transfer Format Manager Settings to a new machine?
I'm setting up a new machine and would like advice on how to transfer the custom formatting I've done over the last five years? I already transferred the library "refs.bdb" (the name I use). I can see all my reference entries. So that's good. Is there a straightforward way to get my variou...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
thank you so much for your detailed description of your workflow. So you are using pandoc mainly to convert markdown files to another format using different CSS stylesheets? Nope, I don't do much web stuff and I've never sat down with CSS (I should as I'd like to know it, but it's a complete myster...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
May I ask why you use scrivener and then Mellel? I am writing everything with microsoft word, but I am interested in other apps and workflows. May you share which advantages you see in your workflow and especially why you are using two writing apps? I have to main workflows. I'm a college professor...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
Try a proofreading scan (see User Guide for how that works). I think that will do it. Jon Sonny Software P.S. The separator will be set to a comma if you enable BibTex and tell Bookends to use citekeys. There is a warning when this happens. Thanks, Jon. I use BE to manage things for both working in...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
Quick follow up question. Looking at my old draft from last January, I have it using commas instead of semicolons. (I must have set it up that way. But oddly, until recently that wasn't an issue.) Is there an efficient way to have Bookends convert all the citations into using semicolons? If not, tha...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
It would seem that I have although I don't know why I would have done that. Many thanks. Problem sorted. I knew it had to be something I was doing wrong.Did you by any chance change the citation separator from a semicolon to a comma in Bookends preferences?

BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
I'm having an issue that may be either something going on in Mellel or Bookends when scanning my bibliography. (I am mostly confident this belongs here, because I can re-create the issue as explained below, but if this should be over at Mellel's forums, no worries.) Thanks in advance to anyone who c...
