Odd behavior with circumflex accent and subsequent citation
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:36 pm
Hi Jon,
I am getting an odd behaviour. For most of my citations I use the circumflex ^ within my citations, for the name to appear outside brackets, as in "{^Burnyeat, 1990, #85036@142} argues that..." etc.
But this journal (the same one from the previous thread) doesn't like parentheses after the name. So they want the first citation to be like:
Burnyeat, M. F. The Theaetetus of Plato [Theaetetus] (Indianapolis, 1990) pp.34-67.
And they want to second citation to be like:
Burnyeat, Theaetetus, pp.120-121.
In the Format for this journal, I have the subsequent citation set up as:
a, s, p
But because I include a circumflex accent before the name, like this:
I am getting this when scanned:
As you can see, there is no comma or space between the author and short title. [Note, I fixed the double periods].
When I remove the circumflex accent before the name, it works correctly.
I would rather not have to delete all the circumflex accents, because for other journals I need to keep them. Although, I could obvious keep them in the Scrivener original and just delete them from the Word file once I export it. But it would be nice to know what is going on.
Any thoughts?
Greg
