Format question: chapter without ed., article without issue

Post by johh.flett »

Hi
I am using the standard Chicago 16th A, and when formatting either a book chapter without an editor, or a journal article without an issue number, the output contains no space before the bracket:

Article:
Johannes Blauw, “Das Missionsdenken in den Niederlanden 1945-1955,” Evangelisches Mission-magazin 106(1956), 118.

Book chapter:
A. A. van Ruler, “De Kolonie,” in Visie en Vaart(Amsterdam: Nijkerk, 1947), 128-200.

I should also add that I have a problem when the page range of a quote isL 104-5. This outputs as 104-05. Is there a way of retaining the 2 digit ending except when the first digit is "0"?

I have played with the settings in the formats manager, but without luck. Suggestions?

You can force the space with the "force quote", `

a. “t.” f v$, no. $i` `(d): p–.

I don't see any parentheses in the Book Chapter Type we ship.

As for preventing the leading 0, you can't prevent that. But is it correct to omit the 0 when you're telling Bookends to "Keep last two digits" in the format? Can you point to the section in the Chicago Manual of Style that says the leading zero should be omitted?

I am concerned with footnotes (should have mentioned that earlier) here rather than bibliography, and the formatting for book chapter in footnotes I have is:
a, “t,” $in $v,$ ed. $e (l: u, d).

However, the force quote option worked fine. Thanks.

Regarding the "0" issue, that is a good question -- I will check Chicago -- but from practice I have never see in my field seen such a use for zero. I have a friend who is a professional editor. I will ask him and get back to you.
