Re: [Bibdesk-users] [OT] How to crossref?
Well, the way I understand crossref is that it is meant for items I want to cite separately but which depend on a parent item. For me this means that I do not use it for chapters, unless these are articles written by different authors and put together in one single volume/book. The parent item would be book, the single articles incollection. This is confusing me, actually, so this is a timely thread. Can I ask the experts' help here? For example I have a reference to a book with two editors: here's the edited raw reference. @book{harveyschultz06a, Address = {Cambridge, UK}, Author = {Harvey, Paul B and Schultz, Celia E}, Dewey-Call-Number = {937.04}, Genre = {Religion and politics}, Publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, Title = {Religion in republican Italy}, Url = {http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0710/2007296031-d.html}, Volume = {v. 33}, Year = {2006}, }} The 'authors' are actually editors but that's how it came from the Library search. If I move them to the editor field and create a 'child' of one of the chapters, it fills in the Title with 'Religion in republican Italy' and leaves Booktitle blank. I can't change the Title because of the cross-reference. Is it easy to see what I am doing wrong here? ... thanks. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bibdesk-users] citing collections
I seem to be having a fit of amnesia about referencing something in a collection, especially on how to get it to work in BibDesk (entering the data). Is anyone feeling particularly patient? I want the bibliography to read Feeney article in Rupke (2007), pp 100-200 (or similar, whatever comes out is fine) then Rupke will appear too as a ful entry. I thought I had some way in Bibdesk of having a cross-reference that would automagically sort this out - but no sign of it. Have I done something stupid to the settings, or something? The workaround of re-entering the data would not work as Rupke's book (as editor) would reappear in full, which is clumsy, at both moments.
