Slash instead of "and" or "&" in author-date citation

dennisdd

Hey,

I'm looking to have a citation in Harvard style like this:

(author1/author2 2010)

Is there a possibility of having this slash instead of an "and" as text or the ampersand?


Thank you and kind regards,
Dennis

Yes. You'll have to change the style, though. I use this macro, which would have to replace the macro of the same name in, e.g. Harvard 1.

<macro name="author-short">
<names variable="author">
<name form="short" delimiter="/" delimiter-precedes-last="always" initialize-with=". "/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<names variable="translator"/>
<text macro="anon"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>

see here for general instructions:

Thank you, that was a quick and great help. I didn't think it was that easy since I have been messing around with it for a while.

Regards,

you're welcome - I had this in one of my own custom styles anyway, so just had to copy and paste.
