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

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

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...
