In-text short titles

Greetings all,

I would like to have in-text short titles automatically displayed when I have entered them in the reference, but have no title display if this field is blank.

Example, if I have several works by Hannah Arendt, I would give these short titles (i.e. LKPP, HC, OT)

Then, when I cite, I would like it to appear as (Arendt 1998 LKPP) (that way I can suppress title/date as needed).

I can get this to work by adding Short Title into the output style; the problem is, for every reference WITHOUT a short title, it enters the full title. I don’t want this; rather, if the Short Title field is blank, I would like it enter nothing.

This is for a chapter where I use many primary sources from one author, and want something more intuitive than 1999a, 1999b, etc., but am also using secondary sources that I want to cite in the standard way.

I’m using Chicago 15 B with X3 on a Mac.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks :slight_smile:

I have this exact same problem–with Arendt even! The suggestion that’s been posted seems cumbersome. It seems like we should be able to toggle the titles on and off more easily.
