# 标点符号

文末的参考文献或者文中的引文，每个项目之间都有分隔的标点符号，比如有的要求作者和标题之间要有一逗号，有的要还要求是空格。其实这些标点符号是在输出格式中实现的。

例如数字型输出格式，作者后面是空格，但是想改成一个逗号，下面是修改方法

### 编辑方法

1. 在[格式](http://www.howsci.com/tag/output-styles/)菜单中选择 Numbered 格式
2. 依次打开 Edit >> Output Styles >> Edit Numbered
3. 选择 Bibliography >> Templates
4. 每个文献类型(如 Generic, Journal Article,和 Book)，删除作者 Author 后面的逗号，然后输入一个空格，注意每个文献类型都要这样改
5. File >> Save As，输入新的名字和保存位置

现在可以使用这个新的[输出格式](http://www.howsci.com/tag/output-styles/)再次格式化一下文章，就会看到效果了

有关标点符号或空格仅在某些情况下才出现的物殊格式化字符，详见：[特殊的格式化字符](http://www.howsci.com/endnote/wiki/15Styles/Special_Formatting_Chars.htm)了解[Endnote](http://www.howsci.com/tag/endnote/)不间断空格(◊)，竖线(|)，重音符(\`)和脱字符 (^) 在格式模板中的使用。

**注：** 如果保存为新的格式不是现在的格式文件夹，可能在格式管理器中找不到新保存的格式。因此建议格式还是保存在格式的存储文件夹为好，如有必要可以改变[文件夹位置选项](http://www.howsci.com/endnote/wiki/18Prefs/Folder_Locations.htm)。

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.howsci.com/output-style/modifying-style-templates/changing-the-punctuation-in-a-formatted-reference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
