Embedded Citation

[Nhaps]

My question is how to use embedded citation in a footnote, a common practice in the Humanities. The footnote example follows:
_____________
1. TextTextText. Author so and so ("Article Name," Journal volume [year]: 352, 363) comments that "TextTextText."

As you can see, parenthesis and brackets embedded the citation within the text. My goal is to implement this method as efficiently as possible so BE can generate the corresponding bibliography at the end of the project.

You'd enter the temp citation into the footnote just like any citation in the body of the text. In your example, something like:

TextTextText. Author so and so {-Smith, 2010 #12323@352, 363} comments that "TextTextText."

The format would determine how it looked after the scan.

Thanks for the response. You show the conventional method that inserts a citation into the text, which is what I have been doing. But embedding a citation with parenthesis and brackets is sometimes necessary in order to keep it separate from the flow of the text. I was wondering if I could manually tweak a citation to this purpose, or whether there is another way to accomplish this.

What's in the final citation is determined by the format. If you want square brackets inside the final result, that will have to be done by the format.

If you want to surround a citation with parentheses that are NOT normally used, you'd enter them yourself

...({temp citation})...
