Re: [Bibdesk-users] Template question - conditioning on the journal name

[nathan . artist]

Responding to Jason's question about BibDesk's HTML rendering, Christiaan can 
correct me if I'm wrong, but I would guess that BibDesk's preview uses Apple's 
Cocoa text system to interpret the HTML as rich text. I don't know if Apple has 
documented anywhere exactly which tags are interpreted by the Cocoa text 
system, but it's a small subset of HTML+CSS, nothing like WebKit's 
capabilities. Cheers, Nathan

You should use the same key path fields.journal.lowercaseString in all related 
tags, and you should not enclose the value in double quotes.

<$fields.journal.lowercaseString=advances in applied probability?>
...

...
<$fields.journal.lowercaseString?>
