I have a reference string that reads {Author, 2000 #369@120, 189, 190, 209} that, once formatted, has two of the page numbers truncated, whereby the initial “1” disappears, i.e., “120, 89, 90, 209”, which is obviously not what I am expecting. What is happening here? I am using Endnote X5. Thanks in advance for any help in working around this curious behaviour.
Not condensing page number clearly solves the problem by going around it. It remains when one does need to condense them, which is part of the practice advocated by the Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed., par. 9.60-63). This is an example of EndNote forcing its users to go though all kinds of shenanigans to achieve the desired effect; another example (discussed elsewhere, and repeatedly, on this forum but never solved) has to do with the often superfluous punctuation that is inserted in a citation in the notes, even when text must follow a citation.
