Can I suggest that Bookends in the final clean up for formatting replace ?. with ?

Would this cause any problems for anyone?

The reason is some titles end in a question mark, so the question mark goes into the title field. But in my format, the title field is followed by a period. This then outputs ?. at the end of my titles in my bibs.

Thanks, Danny

Hm, Bookends should already take care of this. And it does so in the various SBL formats that I have. What is the order field of the format you using?

Jon, here is my format

a.| t. ~Vol. ~u16|~ of ~u15$.$ u13~ vols.~| f v~.~`.`| ~Edited by ~e. ~Translated by ~u3*.| x~ ed.~| l: u, d. |~ Repr., ~g.|¬

Here is what is being output:
Sizer, Stephen. Christian Zionism: Roap-Map to Armageddon?. Downers Grove: IVP, 2006.

So Bookends is taking care of the period after the title, but I suspect it is not removing the period that is in the force quotes after volume. The forced period is there to show up after a full title if there is no volume number, so it can't be removed.

Hope this helps.

That's right. I think post-processing ?. to ? should do the trick.
