when multiple citation are formatted in a footnote using chicago 15th notes style Biblioscape adds a ";" between them, but does not remove the final period in the formatted citation. The result is ".;" between the citations. Again, this is easy to strip using find and replace, but I thought you might want to clean this behavior up in a future release.

note the ".;" between each citation.
Matt, in the style editor,
Matt, in the style editor, you can specify the separator between multiple citations. Did you put "; " there? How about just put a space? So it will become ". " instead of ".; ". Thanks, Paul

That is precisely what I did because I want ";" not "." between multiple citations. The problem is to do the task properly, BS needs to strip the final punctuation out of the formatted citation, but only do this when it is one of multiple citation, but not the last of multiple citations. I see why this would be tricky. It is an easy thing to fix using find and replace in word once the document is formatted. I simply find ".;" and replace with ";".

Matt, it is hard to implement this. I think your get around is a better solution than trying to implement this in Biblioscape. Thanks.
