Copy vs Copy as Citation


Gedalya

Recommended Posts

When I copy from the NET Bible I get two different results.

Regular COPY copies the numbers for the notes whereas COPY AS CITATION leaves out the numbers for the notes entirely. See an example below.

WHY IS THIS??

 

Copy
Is. 26:1 ¶ At that time1 this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city! The LORD’s2 deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure.3
Copy as citation
“At that time this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city! The LORD’s deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure.”
(Isaiah 26:1 NET)

I would have to assume the copy as citation does this because Accordance assumes you are citing the passage from the Bible or other reference. Not much need to cite yourself and not much point doing that if you're doing the writing anyways since what's not cited is assumed to be your work.

Gordon:

 

You can specify whether or not verse numbers are included in Copy As Citation. Go to Preferences (under the Accordance menu on Macs, under the Edit menu on Windows) and then click on "Citation" in the left-hand column. The settings for verse numbers are in the "Content References" section, in the drop-down, which I would guess is currently set to "Omit All References."

Gordon, I believe you are referring to the footnote numbers that are included. Copy always includes everything seen on the screen, including the footnotes. Copy as Citation by default strips the footnotes, but you can change this in Preferences -> Citation -> Hide Superscripts. If you want your normal copy to also have no superscripts, instead do Copy As -> No Superscripts.

Oops! Reading too quickly again! Joel's answer is the one you want, not mine.
