ScottStewart 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 Is it possible to embed brackets "[" or "]" in the sentence structure of a source? As an example, if I'm citing an on-line database, I would like to include "[on-line database]" in the footnote and bibliography citation sentences, as recommended by many sources.

Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 Yes, you can use square brackets so long as you realize that TMG can become confused if the contents within the brackets is the same as a defined variable. Your example of "[on-line database]" is fine, but adding something like "[comments]" would not since this word is a variable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infortunately, TMG forces everything within the square brackets to upper case. Is there any way around this? ------------ Scott Stewart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks, Michael. Infortunately, TMG forces everything within the square brackets to upper case. Is there any way around this? I don't know a solution for Source Types, but for individual sources you can enter the bracketed phrase in the Comments field or another data element, and place that element in the templates.
