Separation of two authors in front

Post by stseland »

Hi,

I'm writing my thesis in Norwegian and is using Bookends two manage my references. So far I've been able to translate and modify the APA-format to suit my needs, with one exception: For references that have only two authors, they are separated by &:
{Kock and Villadsen, 2012, #79476} -> (Kock & Villadsen, 2012)

However, sometimes i wish to use the modifer two have the authors in front. And it looks like this:
{^Kock and Villadsen, 2012, #79476} -> Kock and Villadsen (2012)

In the latter I've have not been able to find a way to get "&" as the seperator, and not "and" which is not a good separator of authors in Norwegian (it is actually the Norwegian word for "duck").

Thanks in advance!

Is this an author-date format? If so, you set the conjunction for 2 authors to & in the citation options tab, second page. That will then be used whether the authors are in the citation or placed in front.

It is author-date format. As far as I can tell, the setting for conjunction of two authors is set to &, and it works perfectly when the two authors are inside
the parentheses. However, it is not the case when the authors are in front. See the attached photos for example.

I can't see the photos. But I tested this myself before I posted, so it works for me.

Contact tech support directly and send screen snaps of you you've configured the format.
