Re: Change font & Size

For information here is a link to a section of the Scriv text. The project is in an early stage so don't worry about the content. I've got a bit sidetracked with the ordinals and now the footnoting problem. Nevertheless I'm learning a lot despite having used Nisus for many years. I've not imported s...

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Mark: At present I'm using the default compile format. I should have said "loosely based on MHRA". Since this is a genealogical project which is not intended for peer review, there are few standard formats although many use those suggested by Elizabeth Shown Mills*. It's those other pro...

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Martin: Thank you for joining in. right-click any footnote reference and look for the presence of the command Remove Custom Note Reference. Doing this with the footnote reference character in the footnote area produces:”Set Custom Note Reference” This is within the Scriv generated rtf file - at t...

Re: Change font & Size

Been having a play with all the material you sent and most of it works as expected. Importing the styles is a more elegant way of doing the formatting and the styles match up with the Scriv styles of the same name, although the formatting is slightly different. The one place where it goes south is a...

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Mark:

That's very generous of you to produce all of this. At a quick glance I think what you're doing is what I'm trying to do, except that your way works and mine doesn't.....

I'll give those a try and let you know what happens. BTW I like your variation on Lorem Ipsum :D

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Mark: For some reason that fails to work. If I compile a Scriv project, open it, select all body text and then paste that into a new Nisus File which uses all my own styles, it will adopt the body styles but not those in the footnotes. For some reason the footnote number is as specified in the ch...

Re: Change font & Size

Thanks Phillip and Mark, those suggestions and the macro work a treat and were a big help. As you say Mark, the macro doesn't remove superscript, but I can live with that. I do however have another problem, this time with the footnotes. The compiled RTF from Scriv uses its own footnote style and car...

Re: Change font & Size

Thanks Phillip and Mark - I've only just picked up on your posts.

I'm away from base doing some research at present, but once I've got that sorted I'll check your suggestions

Re: Change font & Size

I think I'm doing it slightly differently in that I'm not searching specifically for ordinals, but using PowerFind and 'match' with 'formatting sensitive turned on. I then apply the 'new' style. Doing it this way means I have to match both 'th' and 'nd' using two operations but in practice that's OK...

Re: Change font & Size

Thanks for the tip re 11th etc - one thing I didn't think of. The problem with searching for ordinals in general is there are a lot of footnotes so the citation markers are in superscript albeit a different size. Hence my thinking of searching for 8pt text since these particular ordinals will only a...

Change font & Size

I use Scrivener as my writing tool for long form projects and then transfer to Nisus. When typing dates Scriv uses ordinals EG 20th/ 23rd etc. The 'th' and 'rd' are put in 8pt superscript, and in Nisus this translates the same although sometimes with a baseline the same as the body type. In Nisus th...

Re: Footnotes within Body Text

Hello Þorvarður. Thanks for the comprehensive reply. If I understand you correctly, you seem to be inserting inline citations with Bookends into a Scrivener document, and then – after you have compiled and exported it as a Rich Text File document – you want to convert the inline citations to footnot...

Re: Footnotes within Body Text

Thanks for this. After posting on the forum I discovered a couple of similar macros in the Macro repository, but for some reason the text -> footnotes one only partially works. Your 'new' macro works fine and does exactly as it should so thank you very much. Nonetheless there are still some oddities...

Footnotes within Body Text

Some years back Kino, or possibly Phillip Spaelti produced a macro that would convert footnote text within the body of a document to 'proper' footnotes. An example: .... policy at the point where it becomes an officially endorsed course of action{Stephen V Ward, Planning and Urban Change (London: Pa...

Re: Prefs and New File

I think this probably goes back to deficiencies in the Apple text engine rather than anything Nisus has done. I agree that New File.dot has been used since way back when, but after editing the file, despite any new file created having the *new* 16pt line spacings, they don't appear in subsequent edi...
