  • I see @adamsmith. It does sound simple! Does the second (i.e. new) conditional need to be at the same level or below the original conditional?
  • Haha, is it that straightforward? I will have a tinker when I get the opportunity. Thanks for the help!
  • I assume it's not possible to treat it as a book section? Not really. It does have a simple appeal but with so many letters it would become unwieldy. I am hoping to find a way round it somewhere. Currently the only major problem I have with my abov…
  • Thanks @adamamith once again! I have managed to make a pretty good bodge myself. I have simply included the details in the Archive field of the letter section and entered it as 'Cited in James Marchant (ed.), Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Rem…
  • Righteo. Both edits have been introduced! Callooh callay! It was a bit more of a faff than originally hoped as the CSL Editor still does not seem to want to show be the sample citations. This meant I had to root around and do some experiments to ge…
  • That's a shame. Is there a way in which I can bodge more creatively by any chance? For example, set up a letter entry as normal and then a field such as 'extra'/'note' set it up in the csl file to appear. Then, in the 'extra' field write 'Cited in…
  • Cracking advice as always! Thanks, I will try that tomorrow at the office when I have the modified csl file in front of me!
  • Superb! The only thing I am missing from the locator set-up is the p./pp. prefixes. Is there a way I can get these to appear as appropriate? Also, I would like to have the 'issue' number appear for journals as well as the 'volume' number. I have ha…
  • Superb. I got the second issue sorted (i.e. the short title). Also, your explanation helped me understand it all a little more and sort out a couple of other issues I came across! Thanks! However, at the moment I am still rather confused with the p…
  • Hi @Gracile, I managed to have a play but have still not managed to get the desired result. First, I still can't get the pages right. It is coming out like this when I include a specific page (for chapters and journal articles, etc); Nadja Durbach…
  • @Gracile Thanks for that! I have not had the opportunity to try as yet, however as yesterday the visual csl editor did not show the example citations box for some reason so I was walking blind. Hopefully it is up today to try!
  • @Gracile Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Was very useful in getting the editor issue the previous person raised sorted. Unfortunately, despite several hours working on it I can't for the life of me fathom how to make most of the changes I need. …
  • @Gracile: Thanks for that. I will take a look when I come back from a meeting. My main issue is the '58–83 (pp. 66–68)' for journal articles. I only want it to show the pp/p reference not the full range in a citation. What is more, ideall…
  • Yes, I was impressed so far (i.e. I am nearer to understanding it from this than any other alternative!). But, alas, my knowledge is still lacking at the moment! Every time I feel I am starting to get to grips with it I get lost and fail to do what …
  • Thanks Adam, I have come across this and had a little play but had no luck so far. I think I still don't understand what is going on! I will keep tinkering and see what happens! It definitely appears the best bet I have found so far but st…
