can't get rid of parentheses in footnote citations

Post by soliphint »

Since I just updated to the latest, I now hit the Cite button in Mellel (2.6), using the Chicago A (formatted with Chicago A footnotes) format. Two things are different and worse than before. (1) Less important - the "Scan a document" window used to appear over my Mellel window so I could, for example, unclick the Biblio option, etc. Now I have to go back to Bookends to see that window. The "Scanning document" window does appear on top of my Mellel window, but the other one does not.


(2) More importantly, all the footnotes now have parentheses around the entire note. I've checked the "Formats Manager" and it seems to be OK, as far as I can tell. There is also a period after the book/article title, instead of a comma, then no space, and then the page number. No idea why these things have changed all the sudden, but all was working without a hitch prior to the latest upgrade today.

For (1), I just saw that today. A bit of code was inadvertently deleted. I'll make a silent update soon that will fix it.

(2) The Chicago formats haven't changed since Nov, 2008. Maybe the have been modified unintentionally. You can download fresh copies from our ftp site. Are you sure you're not scanning with the footnote format instead of Chicago 15th A? If you still have a problem you should write to tech support.
