Including Semicolons and Other Citation Delimiters in a Citation

In order to print an actual semicolon or the prefix marker (\) as part of a citation, type an accent grave (`) before the character. The accent grave tells EndNote to treat the following character as regular text, and not as a significant character for parsing the citation (a delimiter). For example, to create a citation that is formatted as:

(see Figure 1; Jackson, 1994)

the unformatted citation must look like this:

{see Figure 1`; \Jackson, 1994 #28}

The ` character before the semicolon tells EndNote not to treat the semicolon as a separator between citations.
