Cell Journal (AY) citation format and author suppression

graumann · November 30, 2011

To whom it may concern,

When using using Cell-style citation format, inserting a citation in conjunction with "Suppress Author Names" delivers "( YYYY)", rather than "(YYYY)" - a whitespace is falsely being used.

How might I remedy that?

Thanks, Joh

I've pushed a change to the repository version of the style that will fix this. It will take some time for the change to be reviewed and work its way into the repository, but meanwhile ...

The problem is with this bit of code:


    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
      <text macro="author-short"/>
      <text macro="issued" prefix=", "/>
    </layout>

It should be like this instead:


    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
      <group delimiter=", ">
        <text macro="author-short"/>
        <text macro="issued"/>
      </group>
    </layout>

That is, the ", " should be set as a group delimiter, not as a prefix to the year of publication. When that change is made, the style works correctly.
