format of cited page(s)

Post by john1029 »

With the @, cited page(s) is automatically added to footnote after I scan my document, and the format is ", [page no].", and I couldn't edit it in Formats Manager, it is out of the "Formatting Options", and in "Citation Options", only Page range and First page only are available for us to choose. I do need to change this format for my non-English citation. Is there any way to make due with it? Such as to include "cited page" in my format string in "Formatting Options"? Thank you!

In fact, my question is related to my another question:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2440

you may see in the books in Chinese, the cited page is placed between ",頁" and "。", not between "," and ".".

Thank you!

There is only one type of "cited page". If you want to use a different form for Chinese citations, use "quoted text", like this

{temp Chinese citation\, p. 15\}

You can put anything between the backslashes you like.

Thank you for your reply, use "quoted text" did work in this case, but instead of just add a @ with the page number, I have to add the format I need each time in my footnote. Will you think of adding a code for cited page in Formatting Options, and if this code doesn't present in the format string, it will use the default ", [page no]." for cited page in footnote. Thank you!
