Possessive in Author-Date

Post by WillK »

Occasionally I want to use the possessive with an author's name in an author-date citation: e.g., Thompson's (1980) argument. Is there a way to incorporate the possessive into the citation in Bookends?

You'd do that by typing Thompson's in the body of the text. In the temp citation you'd use % to tell Bookends to output only the year:

...Thompson's {%temp cite} argument.
