Me again, with another nitpicky question.

I have discovered that, for the nonce, I find it easier to use Generic sources (mostly time - I just don't have enough of it to get into the nitty gritty of editing templates). That said, I noticed an oddity in the footnote from a Generic Source I created last night.

The Repository is Deceased Online, which I've added in my FH file, including the url. So, now my Footnote ends thusly:

Deceased Online, Web: http://www.deceasedonline.com, .

Note the comma at the end of the url, followed by a space and then a period.

I can't tell what I've done wrong - why is it doing that?

Or is it a bug?

See attached screencaps of the Citation window - the second one is the end of the Where Within field - wish it could be expanded like the Note one so it can be seen all at once.

Thanks for any insight!

Can you post a screenshot of your settings in Tools>Preferences>Sources>Generic Source Formats>Footnote, with the View Format option ticked so that we can see the exact format template?

Thanks Lorna - here it is:

Thanks but can you tick the View Format button, as I mentioned previously, so we can see the exact layout? It might reveal a stray comma or bracket other formatting error.
(It's late now in the UK so I won't be able to look at it until tomorrow)

Hi Lorna,

Sorry for missing that key point. By going and doing that, however, I figured out how to fix the issue - there was an extra code that I didn't need, so I just deleted it and the problem resolved itself. Of course, I realize I forgot to note what that piece of code was, but I can deal with that later.

Thanks for the tip!!
