Hi again,
my apologies for all the emails to the list, while figuring out my own
project. I hope it'll be useful for someone else too. And many thanks to
Christiaan and Jan Jakob for all the hints (now and in the past)! I hope
this will be the last inquiry for a while.
So at the risk of exhausting everyone's patience, just to follow up on the
previous discussion four last additional questions:
(1) First of all, is there a way to use Christiaan's Capitalize script
(which does essentially what I want) not for actually changing the data but
to copy a modified template to the clipboard? Jan Jakob posted a script
here a while ago that does that for typographic quotation marks, and it
should be possible to do that in a similar way for capitalization, but I'm
a little lost how to start.
(2)
Concerning typographic quotation marks:
I realized that whenever I enter a typographic quotation mark into a field
BibDesk automatically translates it into ` or ' and `` or ''. Is there a
way (via template or script or whatever) to have BibDesk translate them
into typographic ones for display in the Preview window?
(I had asked a similar question before, but I was wondering, since
characters with diacritics are also stored in the file in actual Tex
Format, but displayed by BibDesk in the field [and hence in the template]
normally, maybe there is a specific format in which to store quotation
marks so that they behave the same?)
(3)
This is not directly BibDesk related, but maybe one of the experts here has
an idea nonetheless:
Most of what I write has to be in either Chicago or AAA style, and although
they are fairly similar there is one crucial difference in that Chicago
encloses Article and Chapter titles in quotation marks while AAA does not.
And in Chicago quotation marks that are embedded within quotation marks are
converted to 'single' quotation marks.
So now I have a problem if the Title of a given article already has a word
or phrase in quotation marks, how to convert those quotation marks to
single quotation marks without changing the entry since for my other style
I need them as they were.
Author. 1995. "Here is a 'term' in quotation marks." ... <= Chicago style
Author. 1995. Here is a "term" in quotation marks. ... <= AAA style
I'm probably looking for something that behaves like the \emph{} in Tex
but for quotation marks ...
Any ideas?
(4)
Speaking of \emph{}. Is there a way to have a BibDesk template actually
use Tex markers that are in the fields? I.e., put \emph{} enclosed terms
in italics and the like.
(I know I could very easily do this by simply displaying the template using
Tex, but I am creating a database for my fiancee who doesn't have Tex but
wants to use BibDesk nonetheless. Hence all these question that would be
easier to achieve by using Tex directly.)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jan D.
