Formatting problem: Partially vanishing page numbers

Post by frvs »

I'm having a problem formatting temporary citarions using Chicago A. In the formatted citations, part of the information after the "@" sometimes goes missing.

For example,
{Levi, 1982, #7096@ 117, 119–21}. {Shulman, 1980, #1575@ 42, 119–20, 139, 142}, cf. {Gimbutas, 1989, #10209@ xviii–xix, 110, 159, 255–6, 319}.
converts as:
Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Ebboli. Trans. Frances Frenaye. (Harmondsworth: Pen-guin Books, 1982), 117, 119–Gerschel, “Couleur et teinture chez divers peuples indo-européens,â€

Hi,

The @ (cited pages) really only works properly for one or one range of pages. Bookends tries to handle more gracefully, but won't try to parse after the first comma is found. Apparently it's not a graceful as it could be.

Nonetheless, do not used cited pages in cases like these. Use the "quote" facility:

{Shulman, 1980, #1575\, 42, 119–20, 139, 142}
