I'm citing a reference in a comment which is not otherwise cited in the body of my paper. As a consequence, this reference is not picked up when Nisus Writer scans the document. Other than manually adding it to my bibliography, is there a way I can force a reference to be included in it?

For example, can I insert an "invisible" footnote in my text immediately after my comment? Perhaps this is a question for the Scrivener people and not the Bookenders. I'm writing in Scrivener, which is where temporary citations are entered. Then I send the compiled output to Nisus Writer, where it's scanned.

I searched the manual and this forum, but I didn't see this discussed. Sorry if I just missed it.

Thank you!

There are a variety of metacharacters you can place at the beginning of a temporary citation that provide ad hoc tailoring of the final output. Please see the user guide (Help menu) for details. And you can see and apply them with Edit -> Copy Citation with Modifiers.

In your case I think you are looking for the ! metacharacter, which tells Bookends to remove it from the scanned document but have the reference appear in the bibliography. Like this:

{!temp cite}
