Preview of bookends and CSL styles
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2024 2:47 am
I appreciate that the Formats Manager offers two options: customized Bookends format styles and CSL styles. Whenever possible, I use Bookends styles, as they can be customized directly within Bookends. However, when I need to re-submit a paper to a new journal on a tight deadline, it's helpful to have the option to use a CSL style as well.
I know that by selecting "View->Formatted," I can see a preview of the selected style in the Bookends window. However, when navigating through the Format Manager window, only Bookends style previews are shown, not those of CSL styles.
My question to Jon: Would it be feasible to show a preview of CSL styles directly in the Formats Manager window?
My question to other Bookends users: Would auch a preview in the Formats Manager be useful for you, or do you find it unnecessary? For me it's not crucial, but it might be helpful.
