Hi Jon,
I am getting an odd behaviour. For most of my citations I use the circumflex ^ within my citations, for the name to appear outside brackets, as in "{^Burnyeat, 1990, #85036@142} argues that..." etc.
But this journal (the same one from the previous thread) doesn't like parentheses after the name. So they want the first citation to be like:
Burnyeat, M. F. The Theaetetus of Plato [Theaetetus] (Indianapolis, 1990) pp.34-67.
And they want to second citation to be like:
Burnyeat, Theaetetus, pp.120-121.
In the Format for this journal, I have the subsequent citation set up as:
a, s, p
But because I include a circumflex accent before the name, like this:
I am getting this when scanned:
As you can see, there is no comma or space between the author and short title. [Note, I fixed the double periods].
When I remove the circumflex accent before the name, it works correctly.
I would rather not have to delete all the circumflex accents, because for other journals I need to keep them. Although, I could obvious keep them in the Scrivener original and just delete them from the Word file once I export it. But it would be nice to know what is going on.
Any thoughts?
Greg
Odd behavior with circumflex accent and subsequent citation
Re: Odd behavior with circumflex accent and subsequent citation
Without stepping through the code, my guess is that since you've moved the author out of the formatted citation Bookends treats it as a missing field. Since it's missing, the space before the data isn't output.
There are at least two solutions I can think of.
1. Don't use the caret, it's really a convenience function. Enter the authors last name in the body of the text, in front of the temp citation.
2. If you want to keep it, edit the format with a "hard quote mark", which is always output even if the field in front of it it empty. It's the backquote key, `
Like this:
a,` `s, p
