help me with the format manager

[Dellu]

Ok, I use a completely different format for the purpose of remaining my PDF files. I call the formatting Dellu. I want my files to have the structure like this: Last Author Last Surname Year Title

I used to have it all perfectly working. I am now having a problem.



Here is the screenshot:

Look at the part that reads Use -- if > 1 Author

That was the trick I use to have just one author as the file name.

Here is an example of what I want and used to have:

Code: Select all

Rathert 2010 The semantics of nominalizations across languages and frameworks

Here is what I am getting right now:

Code: Select all

Rathert, & Alexiadou 2010 The semantics of nominalizations across languages and frameworks

Did I sth wrong?

You have "Insert after name" set to 6. Set it to 1.

Hi,

In Germany we use most footnotes and Bookends is great in there. However, my editor requires in the footnotes two things as in the following examples:

1 John Brown, The Life in the City, Berlin 32010, 22.
2 …
3 …
4 …
5 Brown, Life (wie Anm. 1), 28.
6 ...

The “3” before the date in the first citation is the edition (3rd edition). Is it possible to put up the “3”, i.e. to get the "3" little and high (I can't demonstrate it here) in the formats manager?

In the 5th footnote of the example I have the format “author, short title, page” because it is a subsequent citation. However, I have to point to the first complete citation (footnote 1) in there. The expression “(wie Anm. 1)” means in German “as in the footnote 1”. Is it possible to get this format in the formats manager?

Thank you.

Enter the edition number in the Editions field, and then in the format use something like this

a, t, l ^u2^d, p.

The ^'s enclose text you want output as superscript.

In the 5th footnote of the example I have the format “author, short title, page” because it is a subsequent citation. However, I have to point to the first complete citation (footnote 1) in there. The expression “(wie Anm. 1)” means in German “as in the footnote 1”. Is it possible to get this format in the formats manager?

Bookends can't do this automatically (it has no idea the first citation is in footnote 1, or that it is even in a footnote). You can do it manually, by adding that info into a user-definied field and then outputting that field in the format (if it's empty, nothing is output). This is kludgey, but would work.

Note that if there were no cited pages ("28") you could do this with quoted text:

{temp cite\ (wie Anm. 1)\}

But that won't work here.

Thank you, Jon!

The first solution works great!

The second one is a little bit complicated for me, so I will try it later.
