:-) Actually, I don't really know how to do it either. The general concept is that you use a text or an RTF editor to create the file that you load into the BibDesk template (CiteInPages supports just text files so far). There are key words and modifiers that BibDesk defines that you use for this, and the key words are replaced by content from the references when the template is processed. In my simple citation template, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is a combination of such keys words and modifiers. Punctuation and other text that you put around the key words are preserved (like my delimiters that surround the phrase above in the citation template). I believe there is a way to signal that punctuation around a key word or phrase should only be used if a reference has that data element. The current version of BibDesk has a template editor built in that allows you to drag around the key words and phrases as little blue lozenges, and put punctuation between them. There is additional information on templates in the BibDesk online manual, starting at http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_55.html#SEC111 . Finally, I'd probably start with my template file, plainTemplateNonNumbered.txt, and see if I could reorder its components and perhaps change the punctuation to get to the Vancouver style.
