Does anyone see any mistakes in the source sentence? The item title and item type doesn’t display right.

<“[ItemTitle].” [ItemType:Caps]> [WebsiteTitle].
[URL] : [AccessDate:Year].

Can you give us a screen shot of the source template that goes with it.

The template is from another user on this site. Here is the template.

In other words, [ItemTitle] and [ItemType] are inside the same angle brackets. I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think that is supported in RM’s Source Template Language. I suspect that what the template is trying to get at is that if either [ItemTitle] or [ItemType] are blank, then both of them are supposed to be treated as if they were blank. But again, I don’t think that’s supported.

So I think you need to follow BobC’s suggestion to give [ItemTitle] and [ItemType] their own separate angle brackets in the template. Then when you use the template, be sure that [ItemTitle] and [ItemType] are both present or both are blank. There may be a way to set up the template to allow the blanking of one variable also to blank the other, but if so then I can’t think of a way to do it.
