Book chapters with no editors

Post by Enkidu »

Hi.

I've been trying to make a bibliography with a wide variety of reference types and a large number of references (783, to be exact). All of these were obtained from doing searches through bibliographical indexes. A number of these references are book chapters, and a small proportion of them have no editor listed for the book. Now what happens when I output a bibliography (using APA 4th ed), is that instead of:

Chapter Title. In Book Title

which is what I would expect, I get

Chapter TitleBook Title

with no "in", and no space in between the titles.

Naturally I can make a special type for these editor-less chapters, but this does seem to be a bit of a bug.

That's all for now, thanks.

It's not really a bug, it's just that when I created the format I didn't take that into account.

Anyway, it's just a matter of moving a space around (see User Guide for info on how missing fields are dealt with).

Use this as the order for book chapter:

a. (d). t.$ In$ e$ (Ed++.),$v. $(pp. $p-$). $l: u.

Note that the space after 'In'

$ In $e

was moved outside of the "quoted text"

$ In$ e

Thanks for the quick reply - didn't even bother checking the user's guide this time as I assumed it must be a bug, just goes to show me that Jon is all-knowing :).
