Dear all,
Would anyone be willing to help me program the following format?
This is based on Chicago 16th, a book-format, but I need to change it up a bit.
The sequence goes like this:
a, t$, $$trans. $u3*|~, ~u2~ ed.~~, ~u13~ vols.~~, vol. ~v|~, ~f` (`l: u, d$; reprint $u12`)`
I need to put everything besides the name of the author, the title, and the number of volumes inside the brackets, but every time I end up creating nonsense. And, unfortunately, the Bookends tutorial wasn't of much help--at least to me. Thanks in advance.
Peter

Re: Help with "programming" a format
Some of the formats, created a while ago, are hard to read -- there are clearer ways of doing things now.
Simply, if you want everything inside brackets (I assume you mean parentheses -- don't you?), you'd do something like this
a, t, u3 (l:u)
The tricky stuff comes from having to tell Bookends how to handle missing fields.
The tutorial doesn't get into that, but the user guide does (Help menu). Hint: try conditional groups.
