Hey there everybody, I have a question regaring footnote style. My style in the footnote is:
Author (Year), S. Cited Pages
Every footnote closes with a dot. I have not entered this in the style as I often have multiple citations that are separated with a semicolon (automatically by Endnote X4).
Question: When I cite a page and the following, e.g. pages 3-5, the footnote has to show:
Smith (2011), S. 3ff. (with the dot after the ff)
However, when I have multipe citations, Endnote separates these with a semicolon but deletes the dot before the semicolon, e.g.:
Smith (2011), S. 3ff; Stuard (2010), S. 3ff.
This must be some automatic thing done by Endnote. Can I turn this off somewhere?
I think it is Endnote trying to prevent double punctuation, when combining multiple refs in a footnote. It used to be you couldn’t avoid a full stop, I feel sorry for the programmers, who seem to have to cover so many contingencies!
