CMS Short Title / Subsequent References

mbruffey
Can I make CMS use short title field:

(a) for subsequent references

AND

(b) only in footnotes

I am willing to do the work to change the code on my system, but I am not smart enough to figure out (in reasonable amt of time) what code to change and what to change it to. Anybody know?

Thx,

Mark

    OOPS.

    I meant to say JOURNAL ABBREVIATION field, and in ALL footnote references.

    (I think I already get short title, but I need that too if not.)

    To modify any CMS note style to show journal abbreviation in footnotes only, you need to add a condition for journal articles to the container-title-note macro. Subsequent references in CMS include short article titles but no journal titles.

    <macro name="container-title-note">
    <choose>
    <if type="chapter">
    <text macro="container-prefix" suffix=" "/>
    </if>
    </choose>
    <choose>
    <if type="article-journal">
    <text variable="container-title" form="short" font-style="italic"/>
    </if>
    <else>
    <text variable="container-title" font-style="italic"/>
    </else>
    </choose>
    </macro>
