option to include strings in formats

Post by code_slave »

Hi,

sometimes it is needed to have a quoted string in hte formatting options

for example whe a reference contains an accessed web site , some tutors require the words

Accessed:

to be placed before the date, currently the micro language interprets the letters in the string as micro codes , cn we have a method of including quoted strings

If I have understood your request, this can already be done. Use the dollar sign.
$ Quote. Any characters between two dollar
signs are output as is, without any parsing.
(p 130 of the Bookends manual)

See the 'internet' reference type from APA 5th edition format for an example.

For more complex formatting there are also force quote and binding quote options. (p 130–1 of the Bookends manual)
