formatting question

Post by alexwein »

I am a total newbie to Bookends, so please forgive if this is a dumb question.

Is there a way to format the output when creating a bibliography from Bookends such that there is a carriage return between entries?

Another questions--Is there a way to do things like tell the program to create a line before the title when there are multiple entries from the same author?

Many thanks,

Alexandria W.

Yes. Add the ¬ character (Option-L) at the end of a format to force another carriage return.

No. That is something we are considering, though.

That is great! Thanks.

I look forward to the three-em dash when you folks build that feature in--it will save a lot of formatting time when building bibliographies.
