Following on from viewtopic.php?t=6031, I'm also trying to generate an abbreviations table for the front matter of the book or journal article. It was suggested to me on the DEVONThink forum that this could be done in Bookends:
I can't see a way to do this. My guess is that I could generate a term list for the journal glossary, but there are a couple of things I need in order to produce an abbreviations list for a book or article:You can create this list automatically via Biblio > Bibliography > Bibliography Window
- I'd need it to be just for the cited texts in the book/article, and it's not obvious to me how I can generate that from the Bibliography window.
- In the annoying style guide (SBL) the abbreviations list needs to pull in formatted citations for certain types of texts, rather than just presenting the unabbreviated form found in the abbreviations list. That kind of optionality seems to me like a whole additional use of a citation format, which is of course exactly how biblatex-sbl achieves the output.
- There are some text styling rules which I think would be difficult to encode in a Bookends term list, in particular some item types need to be italicised in the abbreviation list while others are in normal roman/upright font.
Best,
Lyndon
