quotes with EN locale, inside the punctuation mark to the right

abeyhom

Hi,

I am trying to adapt an existing style for the use of a new review : I need to use quotes (for articles for example) in the English-US style, but with the quotes inside the punctuation, not outside; this would look like:

Powers, Harold S., Frans Wiering, James Porter, et al.: “Mode”, The New Grove Encyclopædia of Music and Musicians, Oxford University Press (Oxford, 2001).

instead of:

Powers, Harold S., Frans Wiering, James Porter, et al.: “Mode,” The New Grove Encyclopædia of Music and Musicians, Oxford University Press (Oxford, 2001).

I have tried to find an answer in the numerous threads with "quotes" in the text, but could not find any that would specifically deal with such a problem.

Would somebody have a clue about resolving this ?

Thank you: it seems that there is a solution, but as I am very new to all of this, I could not understand if the "punctuation-in-quote" option should be assigned in the "locale" "en-us", or in the csl sheet.
I have tried this: <option name="punctuation-in-quote" value="false"/> in my CSL sheet, below <info> (and after the nitial <style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" xml:lang="en-us" class="in-text" >), it does not work: I need a little more help on this, as I am just adapting a style, not programming it, and I have this particular problem to resolve :)

Which style are you using?

a style adapted from the Chicago "Author-date" style

Based on what you wrote, it seems you're modifying an older version of the style that still is in the CSL 0.8 format. As the "punctuation-in-quote" option was introduced with CSL 1.0, you should first download the CSL 1.0 version of the style:

https://raw.github.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/chicago-author-date.csl

Then add

<locale xml:lang="en">
<style-options punctuation-in-quote="false"/>
</locale>

just below the closing </info> tag.

You were right: I had to translate my heavily modified style into version 1.0, then add the three lines of code - and it works.
Thank you so much: this was resolved in two hours, and I have been trying to do so for days!
