Problem with style

guradon

Hi all,

I have problem with my style. At the end of an item magazine-articel or books should be a "." behind the "S." but theres a ",".
Example how it should be:
Baumgartner, C. (2002): Umsetzung und Realisierung von Performance Measurement, HMD Wirtschaftsinformatik in der Praxis, Nr. 227, S. 17 - 25.
This is how it is: Baumgartner, C. (2002): Umsetzung und Realisierung von Performance Measurement, HMD Wirtschaftsinformatik in der Praxis, Nr. 227, S. 17 - 25,

It would be nice If you guys can help me!

best regards Tim

A few things:

First, often easier to post the styles at http://gist.github.com/.

Second, on the comma, this should really be the suffix for the item as a whole; right? What happens if you put a suffix="." attribute on the bibliography layout element?

Third, you're making this style language-specific by inserting language strings in prefixes attributes. Look around at other styles to see ways around this.

Finally, remove the "generic-base" element in the info area.

what bdarcus says and:
the additional comma seems to come from:
<group class="container" prefix=" " suffix=",">
that group ends after the page macro, so the comma is inserted after it - while groups are a great thing, you need to make sure to keep track what is in which group.

I hope you will contribute this style to the Zotero repository - for that, don't use capital letters in the style ID and link - i.e. make it ikm-style instead of IKM-Style

Thanks for the advices!
