Bibliography in Mellel for uncited works

Post by markjulie@mac.com »

Bookends and Mellel are working well for me, and this may need to be addressed on the Mellel side, but... In my writing project, I need to include some items in the final Mellel bibliography. They exist in a Bookends group that I consulted and read to review the content. I did not specifically cite them by quotation, but they need to be acknowledged in the bibliography with the cited works. Is there a solution on the Bookends side?

Cite them as "removable in-text citation." Enter an exclamation mark (!) immediately after the opening delimiter of the citation. See more about this on p. 234 in the User Guide.

That is correct. Note that in Mellel when you double click the citation to "open" it there a checkbox for "exclude from final document". That's the same as the exclamation point. The citation won't appear in the text but will be included in any bibliography.
