Re: Question regarding Book chapter-format

I actually did play around with that but just didn't come up with putting the "e" directly in front of the quoted text ... So thanks again!

Question regarding Book chapter-format

Hi, sometimes I have to master references where a collection of articles etc. by one author has been edited by someone else. In that case, the order for book chapter should not be (as normal) "title of paper, in: editors, volume", but "title of paper, in: volume, editors"; at the...

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

Exactly! As I said above (pictures 2 and 3), the same (or something similar) also happens with double quotation marks inside double quotation marks (but that is not a relevant variant) and with smart quotes set to English.

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

The format order field is: a (d) "t", j v: p–. (for journal articles), a {(d [u11])^(d)} "t", `in `v|~, Bd. ~u1|~: ~u4|~, übers. von ~u3*|~, hg. von ~e|~, ~u2~. Aufl.~|~ (~u13~ Bde.)~|~. ~l`: `p–. (for book chapters) Titles are (e.g. journal article): 'Where the Lord of the Sea G...

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

Sure: Its seems always to happen when a quotation mark is located next to a punctuation mark or a quotation mark that is part of the format. Three examples: One with a format that uses German double q.m. for articles etc. and with single q.m. for inside the double q.m.: German single q.m..png The fi...

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

And for a third time: I just detected a minor fault: When entering single quotation marks, and the second of two is followed by a colon, period etc., BE in German smart quote setting changes the first correctly (to a low "9"), but makes the second incorrectly a high "9" instead o...

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

Once again I should have looked a bit closer: As I always entered - quite stupidly - quotation marks via the special characters menu and didn't realize that it automatically can change the signs when entered via the keyboard, the language-specific problem has never been one. Bookends was once more s...

Re: Feature Request: Context Sensitive Quotation Marks

Has anything been done on this topic since 2009? I just stumbled across the same issue these days ... As by now, smart quotes for different languages is a great feature; might it not just be possible to implement this feature I can have Bookends automatically convert double quote marks to apostrophe...

Re: Once more: subtitles

I usually follow the Library of Congress standard and separate title and subtitle with space-colon-space: title : subtitle Then it is much easier to do a search & replace to adapt to specific requirements or even getting rid of the whole subtitle. This sound's like a good idea, too, especially ...

Re: Once more: subtitles

I thought as much ... But it's no great matter; I banned the publisher to the additional tab and made it subtitle in the main. I just had thought that an entry as (potentially) important as subtitle would merit an own field. Thanks anyway!

Once more: subtitles

Hi everyone, I want to bring up a topic again that's been mentioned before: subtitles. Would it be a possible improvement for future upgrades to include a new field especially for subtitles? The problem that makes me think about it is this: As I am writing in German most of the time, I follow the Ge...
