I'm using Danny Zacharias' SBL citation format and I'm having a problem with page numbers. In secondary footnote citations, the SBL format is
Surname, <i>Short Title</i>, page#.
The secondary order format in Bookends that Zacharias set up looks like:
a, <i>s.</i>
Within my text (using Mellel), I set up the page call (based on Zacharias' tip) by added the reference from Bookends, then editing the object and adding @page# at the end, where page# is, for example, 151.
Question: is this the best way to do that? The reason I ask is that, as it currently stands, whenever I have a secondary order citation in my document, the page number is also italicized, and I can't figure out how to prevent it. The a, <i>s.</i> format seems to keep the italicizing "open" at the end, so that whatever follows also gets italicized, which isn't proper SBL style. How do I fix this, assuming @page# is the best way to include page numbers?
