Formatting details

[arathe]

Hi...

I'm having trouble with some formatting details. Here's one of my formatted citations (in my
customized "Book Chapter" format:

Timothy P. Weber, “Fundamentalism,” in Dictionary of Christianity in America,
ed. Daniel G Reid, Robert Dean Linder, Bruce L Shelley,
and Harry S Stout, (Downers Grove, Ill: InterVarsity Press, 1990).

My questions:

(1) I don't want the comma after the last editor's name... But I can't figure out where it's coming from.
This is the setup for my primary order:

a, “t,” $in $v, $ed. $e f `(`l: u, d$; reprint, $u12`)`.

I thought that maybe the comma was generated by Bookends' thinking there was
yet another editor -- but I've checked, and there are no returns in the reference data
after the name of the final editor.

(2) I'd like periods after the middle initials of the editors. I've included those periods
in the reference data, and Name Punctuation is set up (with Editors same as authors) like this:
After initial: . [period]
Between names , [comma space]
After surnames , [comma space]
Between last names: and ^, and

Can you help? Thanks!

I can't reproduce #1. You'll have to send me your format and a database with one reference for that (zip both).

As for #2, the punctuation after the initial settings only work if Bookends is told to output the name with initials (it then generates the initials). If you output the full name, Bookends won't alter any punctuation in the name itself -- it's output as you entered it.

Thanks, Jon -- I'll send them.

Now... I know how to send you a database -- but how do I send you the format??

Thanks again,
Alan
