Advanced Placeholder Options

The selected citation style dictates how citations appear in the formatted document. Occasionally, you will need to override a citation style default. Placeholder options let you tell Citavi how you need a citation to appear. Use an option in the Publication Assistant by clicking Citation > Copy or insert with options. More information on the various options can be found in the chapter Creating a Publication with Word: Insert Advanced.

The Publication Assistant will never insert conflicting options in a placeholder. But it cannot prevent you from inserting them into a manuscript manually. Citavi has internal conflict resolution rules that dictate which options take priority if there is a conflict:

• /persononly and /yearonly are mutually exclusive. In case of conflict, /persononly takes priority and /yearonly will be ignored.

• /persononly and /nopar can be combined: {Luhmann 1993: 234 /persononly /nopar} becomes "Luhmann, p. 234".
• /yearonly and /nopar can be combined; {Luhmann 1993: 234 /yearonly /nopar} becomes "1993, p. 234".
• /textcit cannot be combined with /persononly or /yearonly. /textcit takes priority and the other options will be ignored.
