metatypes (book section [book])

Post by adrmckinney »

I am trying to use the metatype feature to insert the Edited Book (parent) into the bibliography when I cite more than one book section (child) in the paper. I followed the steps in the Users Manual but I still can't seem to get it right. Right now, the output on the bibliography are the "children" rather than the parent. I have adjusted the settings to use metatypes if <1 child is cited. In the formatting field for Book Section [Book] I have inserted the Edited Book information enclosed with straight brackets. What else am I missing? or what am I doing wrong?

I'll have to see the format you have created, and try it with your database. Please zip and send these to tech support (support@sonnysoftware.com). And in the email provide an example of what you want the output to be. Don't forget, the parent:child relationship is established in preferences, so make sure they are correct there.
