Amend page numbers "to" not "-"

annie.berry · September 26, 2023

Hello, I am trying to amend our style to say 'pages 10 to 20' instead of 'pages 10-20'. I can only find a way to amend prefix and suffix, not the dash in between. Can any one please advise? Here is the style link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/annie-berry/ofstedhousestyle/main/v1?token=GHSAT0AAAAAACHX4HUG5MH4KMYGLY44OCRAZISXFKA
Thanks in advance

Is this an error in the style we should fix or something you want just for yourself?
Your code is not public, but you'd redefine the term like so:

  <locale xml:lang="en">
    <terms>
      <term name="page-range-delimiter">to</term>
    </terms>
  </locale>

Thank you I will give that a try. In another discussion adamsmith mentioned about sharing the raw github file but I see that it is not working. Is there a setting I need to change to make it public in order to share the raw style link?
I am predicting that I may get stuck on the change so will try to share it if so...

Ignore that...I think I have now made it public? But that doesn't mean anyone can change my own one, unless they are a collaborator does it?! Sorry new to all of this

Run that style through the formatter as it'll make it easier to read: https://formatter.citationstyles.org/

You can just copy that "term" line from above in your locale section since you already have one.

Thanks so much for the tips. Hopefully now easier to read and the link works below.
I have added in that line. It doesn't have spaces either side of the numbers. When I add spaces either side of "to" as below:

to

it makes 'to' appear multiple times in the bibliography e.g. "1 to to to 41". I have now removed the spaces so currently it appears "1to41", but is there a way I can add spaces? i.e. "1 to 41":

<term name="page-range-delimiter"> to </term>

the#160 is a non-breaking space. For some reason Zotero freaks out if you put regular spaces into a page range delimiter.
