Abbreviated Footnotes in Chicago Style

kschindler

I'm using Chicago Style (full note, no ibid), but after the first time a source appears in a footnote, the citation is abbreviated:

U.S. Commercial Service, 81.

instead of

U.S. Commercial Service, Country Commercial Guide: Mongolia, 2009, 81, http://www.buyusainfo.net/docs/x_8159819.pdf.

While I realize that it's proper Chicago style to do it that way, my project requires full footnotes every time a source is cited. Is there a way I can fix it, or is there another Chicago style iteration that would do it?

I apologize if this is a stupid question; I'm not much of a tech person and some of the style alterations went completely over my head. Thanks in advance for your help!

no, the question is not stupid at all.
Very easy to fix, too, just delete this section from the style

<else-if position="subsequent">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else-if>

anything that isn't clear, just ask.

That's fantastic, I'm 95% sure it worked! But before I save my new style, would you mind also telling me how to add a period to the end of the citation (both footnote and bibliography)? I see that it can be done, but can't quite figure out how.

adamsmith

uhm, it's not?
the line
<layout prefix="" suffix="." delimiter="; ">
for the citation and
<layout suffix=".">
for the bibliography should take care of this (those are in the current Chicago full note with bibliography style)-
are you sure this doesn't work or am I misunderstanding your questions?

No no, you're right. It didn't seem to be doing it, but now it is. I saved and installed it, and it works! Thank you so much for your help!
