a colon before pages cited

Post by danzac »

I am wondering if it would adversely affect anyone's formatting if I requested to Jon that :, would be replaced with just : during the final text clean-up for formatting.

The reason is that SBL style (annoyingly) asks that cited pages for Journals end the format:

eg.- Danny Zacharias, "World's Best Article," BE 1 (2006): 10.

Other than this reference type (which is obviously very common in paper writing) the Bookends ability to precede and close the cited pages with a comma and period works with everything else. If the final find and replace could replace :, with : it would fix this minor inconvenience.

Please respond to this thread if this would ruin your formatting.

Hi Danny,

This code is already in place and it works in my tests...are you using 9.0.3? If so, please send me a small db and your SBL format again (I may have an old copy) and I'll test it again.
