Bookends 10.3
Nisus Writer Pro 1.1
OS X 10.5.5

I'm using the SBL format. With a simple book entry, the footnote is not properly formatting. Following the instructions in the guide, I entered @ followed by the appropriate page numbers, but I'm consistently getting a period before the page numbers, not a comma, and with no period at the end of the citation.

My draft citation looks like this:
{Sonsino, 1980, #55276}@70-76

The footnote after the scan looks like this:
Rifat Sonsino, Motive Clauses in Hebrew Law: Biblical Forms and Near Eastern Parallels (SBLDS 45; Chico: Scholars, 1980).@70-76

I am using SBL Bib in the Scan dialog. In SBL Bib Format, Bib & Citations Options, I have a comma in the Before box and a period in the after box in the Cited Pages section.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Bookends ignores anything outside of the curtly brackets.

{Sonsino, 1980, #55276}@70-76

is not correct.

The temp citation should be

{Sonsino, 1980, #55276@70-76}

Jon,

Thanks for the speedy reply. I knew I had to be missing something small, but very key! Everything looks fine now!
