How to change the citation delimeter from en-dash to hyphen

johnmy · 2024-10-04T09:40:03+00:00

Collapsed ranges for the “citation-number” and “year-suffix” variables are delimited by an en-dash, I would like to know how to change the citation-number delimeter from en-dash to hyphen?

Many thanks.

You set a term for the page-range-delimiter in the locale, see for example the AMA style:

Thanks@adamsmith
However it did not work, only the page delimeter changed, the citation delimeter remained unchanged.

The page-range-delimiter, as the name suggests is for the pages.
There is a "range-delimiter" mentioned in the CSL spec under Whitespace Handling, but I think that relates to the CiteProc interpretation and changing that in the locale doesn't do anything.

range delimiter is for date ranges.
I thought the page-range one might work globally, but if it doesn't, I don't think the other ones can be customized. We should either pick up the page-range delimiter or add a new one

Thanks.
Page-delimeter doesn't work. How to add a new one?

You can't, sorry
