Capitalization questions
Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2023 1:05 pm
Greetings. I am a new user to Bookends. I apologize if these questions have been covered elsewhere; I have not been able to find answers to them. I am using Bookends 14.2.1 (MacOS Ventura 13.4.1). I am trying to specify formats for "book" bibliographical entries (Chicago 17). In the Formats Manager, under "case," I have chosen "as entered" for Title. This is important because I have titles in foreign languages and with non-standard characters. Yet, for some reason, Bookends capitalizes every word in the title (and un-capitalizes SC, an abbreviation). For example, a footnote entry that should look like this:
Origène, Homélies sur S. Luc (SC 87) (Paris: Éditions du Cerf, 1962), 31.3.
Instead looks like this:
Origène, Homélies Sur S. Luc (Sc 87) (Paris: Éditions du Cerf, 1962), 31.3.
Especially peculiar is that, in the Formats Manager, the sample entry that appears at the bottom of the screen displays the entry correctly. It is only when I "scan" a document that incorrect entries appear. Specifically, my questions are: 1) how do I tell Bookends not to capitalize words like "sur" and "aux"? 2) How do I tell Bookends to capitalize "SC," which is an abbreviation? I have entered these words in my database using the desired case. I just need Bookends to preserve this when it scans.
Thanks!
