I was looking for a way to get the author's name outside the parentheses and learned that you can use the caret ^ in the temporary citation to do so. Now that really is a great feature (I wish I had investigated it earlier), but while I was trying it I had problems with using it for edited books. Is it possible that the caret can not be used for edited books (when there is no author)? From {^Giacalone Ramat and Hopper, 1998, #59414} I got results like "1 (998)" instead of "Giacalone Ramat/Hopper (1998). The handbook says "If there is no author, the editor's name(s) will be used", so is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Also, I was testing the metatypes option – I did everything like the handbook says, and the output in Bookends itself was pretty fine. However, when I scanned my document (in Mellel) two things happened (and continue to happen even after quitting both programs, and happen also in other writing programs):
1. From the 8 or so articles of the same book, only 5 or so come with the abbreviated citation in the bibliography, while the others appear in their full form. (Yes, they are all linked properly.) Is there any solution for that?
2. After every (correctly) metatype-cited article there is no line break before the following citation. So, instead of
Abduladze, Lia/Andreas Ludden (2013): „The vocative in Georgian“, in: Barbara Sonnenhauser/Patrizia Noel Aziz Hanna (Hrsg.), 25-42.
Crusca, Accademia della (Hrsg.) (1987): Gli italiani parlati, Florenz: Accademia della Crusca
I get:
Abduladze, Lia/Andreas Ludden (2013): „The vocative in Georgian“, in: Barbara Sonnenhauser/Patrizia Noel Aziz Hanna (Hrsg.), 25-42.Crusca, Accademia della (Hrsg.) (1987): Gli italiani parlati, Florenz: Accademia della Crusca
Of course, I could just insert the missing paragraphs at the end, but I actually would rather not search 10-15 pages of bibliography for that... Any solution?
Thanks in advance!
