Maybe someone could help me. I am working in a combination of Bookends with Mellel. I have some issues with secondary citations and i haven't been able to solve them, though i've taken a look into bookend's manual and searched the forum.
What I want to achieve is the following quotation style: Author/Editor (year), e.g.
Berman (2012).
Additional if i introduce a page number or range by adding "@ + page" within Mellel's window, I'd like to have something like this: Author/Editor (year: page), e.g.
Berman (2012: 12f.).
I have tried really a lot and obviously this kind of "coding" is not my specialty... I came closer to a potential solution though
a|~~e~ ` ~` `(d: p).~`,
unfortunately I get a quotation like this: Berman (2012).12 if I insert a page number.
Help is much welcome and appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Re: Secondary quotation
This is for a citation in the text (or footnote), right? In that case you handle this with the ^ metacharacter:
{^temp cite}
And to add a page number at the end, you'd use cited pages, like this
{^temp cite@12}
In the format definition you tell Bookends what to put before and after cited pages (so you can get 2012: 12f. )
Please refer to the user guide for all the metacharacters Bookends allows, and read up on cited pages.
