Greetings - Some words in the title of a reference have italics style applied to them in bookends (8.1.2). However, when I build the bibliography in MS Word, the words lose their italics style. I also noticed that the view formatted window also does not have the italics style. I'm using the format BMC Evolutionary Biology. In this format, the title should be in bold. If I switch to another format that does not use bold style for the title, the italics appear just as they should. Does anyone else see this behavior?

Yes, I've seen it too... See this thread from a while ago:Mike wrote:Greetings - Some words in the title of a reference have italics style applied to them in bookends (8.1.2).

Well, yes. I'm using Tiger. But I don't understand. Applying italics to bold, and vice versa obviously does work when done doirectly in the app. Is it something special about applying it automatically?Jon wrote:Hi,
Applying italic to a word in a title that is otherwise ouput as bold doesn't work (the word is output simply as bold). This looks like a bug in Mac OS X 10 (Tiger). Is that what you are using?

Yes. The code that does this uses a toolbox call that applies styles (completely different from the code that handles the GUI). It worked in all previous versions of Mac OS X, but appears to be broken in Tiger. There is no workaround I can think of -- the OS X bug needs to be fixed.

Oh, OK. Thanks for submitting the bug report. I guess we just have to wait then, and remember to be aware of this when using a style that requires "double formatting".Jon wrote:Yes.

Have you been able to verify that it isn't in fact fixed in the latest developer release (which I assume you have access to...)?
