Short Title + Quotation + Punctuation?

[jiporter]

Using a modified version of the style Chicago 16 Footnote I am having a problem with punctuation options.

using this:

Author, “Short Title,”| p.^pp. Cited Pages

I can get this:

Pace Bahti, “Auerbach’s Mimesis,” p. 15

But then I get this (when I don’t include a page ref.)

Pace Bahti, “Auerbach’s Mimesis,”; White, “Auerbach’s Literary History,”; Hovind, “Figural Interpretation as Modernist Hermeneutics,”

I I change to this:

Author, “Short Title”| , p.^pp. Cited Pages

I’ll get the opposite result

Author, “Title”, p. NNN

Looks like its one or the other. Is there a way out? thx

Do you mean “close quotes” for “close parenthesis”?

So the output is either with “,” (my way now) or "Title [with no close quotes or punctuation]. If that’s what you mean, I don’t think there’s a gain, and no automation; just another thing to have to fill in manually. (I’m better off doing a global replacement at the end using my way: but maybe I misunderstood your suggestion, for which thanks)
