Dear all,
I’m running into a strange problem with the Angewandte output style. We have multiple references within one item, thus the bibliography in the end looks like:
[1] a)blablabla; b)blablabla; c)blablabla.
[2] blabla
How do I get an extra space/blank between the a), b), c) and the name (initials) of the first author?
Thanks for the help!
Best,
Joris

To insert the blank space, have you tried modifying the output bibliography template:
Go to the Endnote toolbar, select EDIT, OUTPUT STYLE, EDIT Angewandte Chemie. This will cause the Angewandte Chemie style dialogue box to appear.
In the left column of the Angewandte Chemie dialogue box, locate the entry “Bibliography” and just below select TEMPLATES. Thie will cause the bibliography formats for the assorted reference types to be displayed in the right column.
For each of the bibliography reference formats shown, put your cursort in front of the “Author” field and hit the space bar to insert a blank space.
Close the Angewandte Chemie dialogue box when completed. You may be prompted to save the changes as “Angewandte Chemie Copy” - click YES.
Don’t forget to change your output style to Angewandte Chemie Copy which will have the additional blank space.
As for entering a blank space between author’s initials, suggest you correct your individual reference type entries in the author name field:
Example: Smith, J. P.
It’s even easier if you enter the author’s complete name (i.e., Smith, John Paine) as Endnote will convert the initials and insert the space (based on what you entered).
Yes, I already tried that, but that introduces in any bibliography entry a space/blank in front of the first author. This causes a misalignment in the bibliography, because now it introduces a space/blank before every entry, and since it’s a mixed 1a,1b,1c, 2,3 bibliography this looks not okay.
[1] a) blabla
[2] blabla
All entries are directly exported from either web of science or scopus.
Thanks for the help!

Grouped reference feature is really a new feature introduced in X3. During the beta testing, I also suggested to have a capacity to change the font face (bold, italics) for the alphabet identifiers, but it wasn’t included at least in the X3. They (T-R) are simultaneously working on the bugs/glitches for the older versions as well new features for the most recent versions. It doesn’t seem they are able to add all the features we request, but making a suggestion doesn’t hurt anything.
Anyhow, why don’t you have a thread in the product suggestion board, describing your problem and the feature you want?
I went the journal site for the source of the style, and they don’t ask for a tabbed output, but for this which I cut and pasted from their author instructions:
[1] a) H. J. Ache, Angew. Chem. 1989, 101, 1–21; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1989, 28, 1–20; b) H. Frey, Angew. Chem. 1998, 110, 2313–2318; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 2193–2197.
[2] A. Kraft, Chem. Commun. 1996, 77–79, and references therein; Sci. Am. 1984, 250(4), 7–8; B. Krebs, H. U. Hürter, Acta Crystallogr. Sect. A 1981, 37, 163; G. Eulenberger, Z. Naturforsch. B 1981, 36, 521; D. Bruss, Appl. Phys. B, DOI 10.1007/s003409900185.
And I can get exactly that by replacing the tab with a space in the style’s layout, adding an end of paragraph to the layout following box, and applying NONE to the hanging indents and saving the style and adding a space in front of the Author field in each of the bibliography templates. In fact, if you copy and paste the references from an article from the journal, while it looks all the world like a tabbed hanging indent, it has a space and each line is a paragraph. In the HTML version it is a table.
So I highly recommend people focus much more on the “content” than getting a space in the right place. Once it is accepted, the publishing editor will make sure the references align correctly.
I attach the style I modified, if you want to use it.
(I was unable to generate the correct spacing using the hanging indented settings in the layout, but I didn’t try all that hard once I read the author instructions.)

Open the output style for editing, and go to the “Citations>Numbering” section.
In the “Bibliography>Follow by” box, insert a space after the closing bracket.
Does that fix the problem?
Yep – that does the trick! I undid the other fixes, put hanging indent back on - removed the space in front of author and put the tab back in… I think this gives jorisbeld what was requested.
