I just successfully imported a Chinese language MARC record! Great job with the latest update! Same here - thanks so much, Jon! I'm still sorting out a few details on the filter I'm working on: a Harvard library filter. The nice thing about their entries for CJK titles is that they give romanizatio...

Great! Thanks, Jon.

Thanks again, Jon. FYI, Luhmann, here was Jon's response:

Thanks, Jon. I tried making a new filter based on the Milwaukee Public Library (my hometown), copied the text starting with line 000 into the clipboard, and tried to import, but I got: "Done. Number Imported: 0". Under File > Import Text Encoding, I had chosen UTF-8 - thinking that this is...

Great, I'm glad to hear there's hope. Here's a URL with a MARC record (at least it says MARC, not CMARC) that I got by searching for a book on the library's website: http://lib.ncl.edu.tw/cgi-bin/uz1?routine=marc&brn=101321044 If you switch your encoding to "Traditional Chinese (BIG5)"...

Just wondering... are you trying to set up an internet-enabled import filter, or an import filter that only works on text files/clipboard text? If the former, what server information, etc. are you working with? My quick searching didn't turn up obvious candidates, just the following: It appears that...

I think keeping the iTunes style as default makes sense. It's nice to know about the option key option, though.

However, there is a convention in many humanities texts of having a catchy quote as part of a title, and the first letter after the quotation mark doesn't get capitalized. I see now. I misread your description of the problem. I thought you were saying the *humanities convention* is that the first l...

Wow, that is strange. Can you refer us to an example of this usage (a journal that uses this style, or an article)? So in your example article, is this the way the article itself is titled?

Thanks! That is useful!

"Control-clicking and emailing"... not following you. What steps are those?

Hi all. I've been in touch with Jon about this, and he hasn't been able to duplicate the problem I'm having with 9.0.4: With the 9.0.4 update, my Bookends databases do not retain their window size & position after quitting Bookends. In particular, if I select Window > Zoom (or click on the green...

Jon - by 'go under a heading', I think the idea is to group all of your primary source references together, and all of your secondary sources together; each section would be appropriately titled. Essentially, then, two bibliographies in one document. There are other reasons to separate references in...

I will share once i have some time to really look into it. If i remember well Procite used to have a reference type for 'archive' and even 'archival document' so i will base it on those. Thanks, Gerben! Please take your time. I'll look forward to seeing what you've come up with. I'm an historian, b...

Perhaps. Let's table this discussion for now. The solution we will offer works with all word processors, all fonts, and looks good (especially considering we're dealing with a bibliography here). Sure - this isn't even a feature that I'm asking for. It simply occurred to me that it could be impleme...
