This is what I am getting when I suppress the date of an in-text citation:
Kierkegaard), The Concept of Irony, 66
Formatting instructions (output style) are:
Author |(Year)
Is there a reason why the final “)” is appearing? “Kierkegaard)” is all part of the field (shaded on roll-over).
I would have thought that in suppressing the year both parentheses would vanish. They don’t.
Thanks in advance.
Assuming your software includes any patches/upgrades, you might check the Year field to see if a blank space was entered at the end of the field; or a blank space was entered in the citation template between the [Yea]“r” and closing parenthesis.
You could enter a forced separation: Author |(Year)|
Otherwise to ensure both parentheses are linked and displayed when the Year field has data, insert Link Adjacent Text commands following the first parenthesis and preceding the second parenthesis:
Author |(◊Year◊)|
