Add timestamp to in-text citation

Post by michaelAF »

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to add a timestamp to my in-text citations with Bookends? Currently, I am writing docs in Scrivener, and pasting in the Bookends citations where ever needed. How do I add timestamp info into the pasted, in-text citation. (e.g., say I am quoting from 6:35 in a video. The citation is : {Docker and Smith, 2018, #235347}. How do I get 6:35 to appear in the proper location when I "scan the document" in Word for my final product?

Thanks!

You can have any literal text you like (except the backslash) at the beginning or the end of a scanned citation. You include it between backslashes. When this example is scanned, the timestamp will be placed at the end, after a comma and space:

{temp cite\, 6:35\}

Backslashes should appear in pairs (like quote marks), although in the case above the closing } would suffice.
