Strathclyde Template - Sources & Citations

[Senelstune]

Hi ... can anyone advise me on how to set up the Strathclyde style for citations and source referencing ... it is like Harvard style rather than Shown Mills. Reunion 14, iMac M4.

After taking a look at the Strathclyde style on-line guide, I am reasonably convinced that Reunion is not set up to create citations via this method.

And to make it possible. it would mean that Leister, Inc. would have to make a complete software re-write. That would be prohibitively expensive and would likely be used by a tiny number of Reunion users if it were to be made available.

This is just a thought... I've begun using a log as a place to create and store templates for different types of sources and citations - in my case, I use ESM/EE's templates as my guide. (I put all my templates in a single log, but one could as easily use one log per template to keep them all visible in the logs list.)

When adding a new source, I paste the appropriate template from the log into the source's free-form text box and replace the boilerplate with the details specific to the new source. It's some work up front to create the templates, but not necessarily that much more than setting up sources with fields, and it enables me to have precise control over how every element of the source and citation, as well as separators, are rendered (italics, parentheses, commas, semi-colons, etc.). I'm not sure if such an approach would be feasible with Strathclyde style, but it's served me well.
