In the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, “ibid.” has been replaced by a shortened citation that includes just author’s last name and the cited page(s). For example:
-
Morrison, Beloved, 3.
-
Morrison, 16.
-
Morrison, 62.
-
Morrison, The Bluest Eye, 42.
-
Morrison, Beloved, 10.
I’ve tried customizing the repeated citation template, but I’m having difficulty. I keep trying variations on: Author,| Cited Pages. But no matter what I do, the result doesn’t show the author’s name, but only the page number. I have no problem with the regular short form (author, short title, page), but for some reason removing the title also removes the author. Any ideas?
