mixing in-text and footnotes

Post by tomtom »

Hi recently i am playing around with bookends and have the following question. Is it possible to make in-text citations like (Wolf, 2008, p. x) and do footnotes which should show references in bibliography-style say: Wolf, Peter (2008) A very special book. Routledge: London, p. 9 + a very similar bibliography at the end of the text. Is this possible with ONE style?

Yours, Tom

Not really. Bookends doesn't know whether a citation is in the body of the text or a footnote, it just knows it's in the paper itself and not the bibliography.

You could do this in a crude way by entering the citations in the text manually, followed by a "self-removing" temporary citation that Bookends will note (and include in the bibliography) but remove from the text. In footnotes you'd use normal temporary citations that Bookends could replace with a bibliography-like final citation and generate a true bibliography. Here's that scheme for manual citations in the body of the text:

...(Wolf, 2008, p. 10){!Wolf, 2008 temp cite information}...

Note that the leading ! tells Bookends to exclude it from the text.
