Request: A second custom text
Posted: Fri May 31, 2019 7:23 pm
There is an issue with the SBL format that I'm trying to resolve, and so thought I'd make the request.
The issue is that lexicons for the primary languages (Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic) contain thousands of entries: Too many to use linking. Bible Encyclopedias are the same. And after writing quite a number of papers, I have 40+ of these word entries from the same lexicon, and many more from encyclopedias. Currently I can use the meta types, as each of these items would receive a unique footnote, but only the lexicon or encyclopedia is placed in the bibliography.
What would in these cases be much better is being able to provide not only a cited page, but to provide some specific text with the "Copy Citation with Modifiers" that could be placed elsewhere in the custom format.
So that's my request. Thanks for considering.
