Turabian Indents in Bibliography

Good morning!

I'm using Bookends 11.1 to format a paper I am working on. When I compared the output of Bookends to the Turabian style guide (7th edition), I noticed that the formatting for the bibliography were wrong (using the Bibliographic Formatter in Bookends itself). Bookends formats the bibliography with an indent (tab) at the beginning of each line, and then no space between the works listed. It also does not hanging indent the line if it wraps.

The Bibliographic Formatter and Bibliography Window are both in ASCII, so not having a hanging indent I can understand. Are the others just things I need to fix in the word processor once it has been generated?

The Bibliography Window in Bookends won't show handing indents, but if you copy/paste that into a word processor you'll see the hanging indents (assuming that the format calls for hanging indents, which Turabian does). As for extra line spacing between references, you can do that in the format itself by adding a return character at the end of the format (I believe a return itself works, or you can use the Bookends return metacharacter, ¬ (that's Option-L on a US keyboard).
