Mendeley italicise species name in the title

Question

So i know that Text in the mendeley titles will italicise the names, but is there a way to edit a lot of references quickly? I've been doing it with a find and replace in word, but every time mendeley updates the references, it removes my manual changes.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but many text editors will accept `CTRL+I` — Dave, Feb 08 '16 at 09:36
Mendeley https://www.mendeley.com/ is a reference manager. I can do CTRL+I in word and do the changes, sure, but I currently have about 100 references and each entry has a species name that i need to italicise. The other problem being that if I do manual edits, it doesn't save the edits when i add or refresh the references — Nathaniel Saxe, Feb 08 '16 at 14:24
What I mean is, copy it into a program like notepad++ and use regex to surround the species with i tags this, then copy it back (assuming you have a list of species you want this to apply to) ? — Dave, Feb 08 '16 at 15:09
probably, i'll have a look into how to export the information. Thanks. — Nathaniel Saxe, Feb 15 '16 at 13:41

You have to type in by hand by hand - which in my opinion is a shortcoming of Mendeley. You can italicise, bold, superscript, change case, etc. words in Endnote. Also, when you export from Endnote as xml file, the code to italicize is incorporated where relevant as But all this is lost when you import the xml file into Mendeley which means that in my case, I have to recode thousands of records if I want to use Mendeley.

Formatting the references is the task of the Citation Style. Such a citation style can be choosen using the plugin for the word processer (MS Word or LibreOffice) see Dropdown-Field "Style"

Please put  and ended by  at the word/words you want it to italic, e.g., Oryza sativa it will become Oryza sativa in the title. The  and  will not be printed by Mendeley.
