Re: citations style mapping and bookends

Download Bookends 12. We've made some silent updates that fix a number of scanning/formatting issues.

Re: Bookends scanning problem

This issue was thoroughly discussed on our forum

It should be resolved now that 10.8.3 is out.

Re: Live Bibliography format issue

This isn't a Bookends bug, or even a Bookends issue, Mellel controls formatting of its own documents.

Hi,

I'll answer your second question. You need to be using Bookends 11.2 or later for Live Update to work.

Re: Live bibliography and change of reference format?

I'll take that (I'll be wandering by this forum occasionally while Live Bibliography is still new). To change formats, uncheck Live Bibliography, then click the Unscan icon in the bibliography palette. The next time you scan (or check Live Bibliography) you'll be asked to select the format.

Re: Bilingual Database

For those who were following this issue here and on our forum, the problem was a jannuss surmised, this is not a Mellel (or a Bookends) issue, the references that didn't sort the way he wanted had a space in from of the author's name.

Re: Editing a citation, after doc is scanned

You can't just rescan citations that have been modified since the last scan. But the reason that kjmatthews wanted to do this will soon be moot, since Bookends will handle consecutive citations in the MLA format correctly in the next update.

OK, I think I've got it. Please let me know if there are still issues with MLA disambiguation after the next Bookends update is out.
