Problem:

Most styles (I'm using Chicago) call for 3-em dash for repeated author name in bibliography:

Smith, John. "Facts about Things."
———. "Facts about Other Things"

However, after scanning my document with Bookends and having the bibliography inserted, I see that Bookends is not automatically styling it this way. Instead, it's repeating the author name in full, like this:

Smith, John. "Facts about Things."
Smith, John. "Facts about Other Things"

Question:

Is it possible to tell Bookends (13.0.7) to conform to the 3-dash style in generating the bibliography?

There's a setting for that on the Bibliography Options tab: Replace repeated authors with...

Thank you!

Jon,

I have "Replaced repeated authors with ———" checked, yet it does not work. Bookends continues to repeat the name of the author. I am working with Mellel 4.

Thanks,
Moises

All the authors have to match, exactly.

If you still have a problem please send the necessary files to tech support.
