Subject: TMG-L: Newbie Needs More Source/Endnote Help
Date: Sat, 04 Dec 1999 21:23:24 -0700


Okay, I'm beginning to get the hang of this. I figured out the < > coding
so I can surpress the printing of unknown author, n.pub., etc. on my
imported BK sources (especially helpful on the ones that are original
records like marriage certs, census etc. until I can learn and switch to
the more appropriate templates). (I guess TMG is gonna force me to do what
I've been intending to do for a long time, which is buy Mrs. Mills' book).

But, I'm baffled by endnote number 4 in the following example. What is the
"hereinafter cited as" line doing there when that source is not cited again
in the report? Is there a way to get this to print only when there is a
second reference to the same source in the same report? Also, in BK, there
is an option "endnotes with no duplicates" so that a second, third, etc.
note is printed only if the citation detail (e.g. page number) is
different. In other words, if the following were printing out from BK,
there would only be 4 endnotes in the following example: those numbered 5
and 6 below would all be 1. Am I understanding correctly that there is no
such option in TMG?
