Shaman - capital letter or lower case? How about Shamanism? Not talking about a specific shaman, just shaman's and shamanism in general. TIA Bobbi [Non-text...

Hey all, I'm putting together a Titles Indexed page for the website I hope to finally do. I've seen SO many different formats for listing the titles Offhand,...

I don't think there's a standard; we simply list what we think potential clients would want to know. Nor do I think there should be a standard. Heck, we're...
When I have a main entry followed by abbreviations in parenthesis, for example: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) then try to do a see or see also without...
... always tells me that this as an incorrect entry - Cindex wants me to put the (FBI) at the end of the See also reference. I believe the complete and correct...
Why would you want to leave out the (FBI)? It is part of the entry that you are directing readers to and I would include it as Cindex is directing. Best, ...

Thank you so very much Carol, you have come through for me again! I have one editor that likes me to leave the parenthetical in the cross-reference, but I...

Drat, I didn't get your last post about this - would you mind resending it? Also, do you, when making a cross reference, include the entire entry - parenthesis...

I have mine grouped by category, with hotlinks at the top to each category. I just add each new title to the top of the list, and give title, author, and...
