I have been thinking about the options needed for the Insert/ Edit Citation panel.
Yet another history complexity. This one is from my thesis. Whilst the thesis citation style is Chicago footnotes, the thesis is principally an examination of two texts and I followed the convention of listing the Abbreviations at the start of the document , ie. ------------- Táin LL Táin Bó Cúalnge from the Book of Leinster. Translated and edited by Cecile O’Rahilly. Dublin: Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1970. Táin I Táin Bó Cúalnge Recension 1. Translated and edited by Cecile O’Rahilly. Dublin: Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1976. ------------- And then using intext citations to these two main texts ie. --------------- After Fergus had left, Etarcumul taunted Cú Chulainn: I think you are fine indeed. You are a comely, splendid, handsome youth with brilliant, numerous, various feats of arms. But as for reckoning you among goodly heroes or warriors or champions or sledge-hammers of smiting, we do not do so nor count you at all. (Táin LL 183) -------------- All other citations are footnote citation. This practise is is followed because otherwise the text would have a couple of hundred very short footnotes of the type - "Táin LL 183" So the the upshot of this - Maybe we do need a intext/ footnote selector on the Insert/ Edit Citation panel, even though the document style will select which is the default position. The option may be grayed out if the document style really prohibits such mixing. As far as I can tell neither Endnote or Ibidem has this ability. BTW the 'Táin LL' and the 'Táin 1' strings could be selected in the Ibidem panel using Short title (or a custom short title) and the Exclude Author name option. Maybe we are a position were we could come up with a (almost) definitive list of the option the Insert / Edit Citation panel needs to support ? -- ------------------- David N.
