Quoted in

Is there a way to create a Chicago style note of a work quoted in another work? I don't see any place under the info tab and haven't been able to find any information in the forums or documentation.
  • I simply use multiple citations in such circumstances. Would this help you?
  • Versa, do you manually delete the period in the first citation, type "quoted in" and then insert the second citation? The reason I ask is I believe the citation won't update if it has been manually edited, which isn't that big of a deal. Maybe a future version will have a quoted in feature since it happens fairly commonly.
  • In the "Add/Edit Citation" window of the plugin there is an option for multiple sources. Click that, add your two references, then use the prefix slot to put "quoted in". Using prefix/suffixes does not break the refresh.

    Does that give you what you want?
  • (As a side note, the new CSL processor coming up in a few months will recognize in-field markup in the prefix and suffix fields, so you'll be able to put the connecting phrase in italics if your style requires that.)
  • Thanks, arggem. That's exactly what I wanted. It worked like a charm.
