Handling of dates (MLA 8 style)

[joseph_anton]

I am citing a number of electronic resources in an MLA 8 style document. It seems the current recommendation is to include an access date for the resource in the works cited. I've kept track of access dates as I was going along in standard American format, e.g. 02/08/2018. I now see that the MLA guidelines are for day / month / year, with the month abbreviated, e.g. 8 Feb. 2018.

I know this is something of a tall order, but is there any way of telling Bookends to pass the date to the works cited in this way?

I'm afraid not. Bookends dates are alphanumeric text, not objects, and therefore can't be manipulated by Bookends (other than find and replace).

I figured as much, but thought it was worth asking just in case. Thanks.
