Yes. If you use Cited Pages, Bookends will not output the pages (if specified) in the format. This was a requested feature. The Quoted Text method won't do that.

I'm using citations with the @ at the end to indicate page numbers or ranges, like so (in Scrivener):

I used the Formats Manager to remove periods from the ends of citations, because (as you see here) I like to insert my own. For instance, here's the format for the first of these two citations above:

a, t$, $$trans. $u3*|~, ~u2~ ed.~~, ~u13~ vols.~~, vol. ~v|~, ~f` (`l: u, d$; reprint $u12`)`

But in every citation where I use the @ for a page, or a page range, Bookends inserts a period after the number. Like so:

How can I fix this setting? I'd really prefer to continue using the @ for pages, like this:

{Johnson, Lives of the Poets, #100320 @159}.

Rather than resorting to quoted text, like this:

{Johnson, Lives of the Poets, #100320\, 159}.

In the format manager there's a place to tell Bookends what to output after cited pages. Delete the period from that textbox. If you still have problems, please contact tech support directly.
