Abbreviate "Book Title" in Item Type "Book Section"?
Is it possible to set an abbreviation (i.e., a short title) for "Book Title" where the item type is "Book Section?" It would be awfully handy when citing numerous essays from the same work. Perhaps a method exists similar to those codes for specifying reprints and such? Thx, m
container-title-short: Short book title
You would then need to modify the style to use the short form of the container title, rather than the long form. (Chicago, for example, just uses the long form.) It's not possible, however, to do something like including a reference to book and then to use only the short form of the book title for chapters or essays in that book.
The Abbreviations Filter plugin might be able to accomplish what you're looking for, but I'm not certain on that.
I’ve not used the Abbreviations Filter plugin much, so not sure how much help I can be. What exactly isn’t working?
