Help editing Thomson Reuters - Legal, Tax & Accounting Australia style

aarontimo

Hi there,

I want to add a comma after the jurisdiction (aka publisher) for document type 'legislation' to comply with the Australian Business Law Review style guide (https://legal.thomsonreuters.com.au/support/pdf/authorsupport/australian-business-law-review-thomson-reuters.pdf). The ABLR is a dependent style, so I believe I have to edit the parent style (http://www.zotero.org/styles/thomson-reuters-legal-tax-and-accounting-australia).

The current parent style renders legislation (in the footnote) as 'Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ss 9 ('member’), 231.' but it should appear 'Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), ss 9 ('member’), 231.' - note the addition of the comma after (Cth).

I have tried adding to line 214, 213 and 57 (individually, not at the same time) but this did work and I can't figure out why.

Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I can have a look, but can you tell me where you entered the data in Zotero (field - value). Legal citations are always a headache for me.

Thanks, @damnation.

UI label = Name of Act
Zotero field = nameOfAct (title)
CSL field = title
Value = Corporations Act

UI label = Code
Zotero field = code
CSL field = container-title
Value = Cth

UI label = Date Enacted
Zotero field = dateEnacted (date)
CSL field = issued
Value = 2001.

Much appreciated!
