In de "formats manager", how i can hold the last ponctuation when field isn't used?

eg:

a (d) - t, e, v; u: l, d.

i want a reference like this:
a) ROSAS, FERNANDO (2004) - Portugal Século XX (1890-1976). Pensamento e Acção Política; Editorial Notícias: Lisboa, 2004.

but here, when de fields editor and volume is empty, the programe assume the first ponctuation (,) and not the last (;). Like this:

b) ROSAS, FERNANDO (2004) - Portugal Século XX (1890-1976). Pensamento e Acção Política, Editorial Notícias: Lisboa, 2004.

You have to use the tilde sign ~ and break character | to achieve what you are looking for. I would also refer you to the user’s guide if you want to know more about using these special characters… ;)

a (d) - t~, e, v, j|; u: l, d.



and it shows like that


ROSAS, FERNANDO (2004) - Portugal Século XX (1890-1976). Pensamento e Acção Política, e, v, j|; u: l, d.

Code: Select all

a (d) - t, e, v|~; ~u: l, d.
this might do it… it will always add a semicolon ; followed by space if you the contents of the u field are defined (putting this before the content of the u field).

Hope this helps a bit more than a cryptic mentioning of the user’s guide…
