CSL: Replace comma with colon in in-text citation

Anna Schwachula

Dear all,

I am new to csl and cannot figure out how to change the following:

In Chicago (author-date) I would like the in-text citations to appear with a colon seperating date and page, such as: (Jones 2012: 87) instead of (Jones 2012, 87).

I think I can handle to do the change myself, but I don´t know where in the code to make the change.

I've looked around in the forum and guides but couldn´t find what I am looking for.

Any help appreciated a lot! Cheers!

Find this:

<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="date"/>
</group>
<text macro="point-locators"/>
</group>
</layout>


Change
<group delimiter=", ">
to
<group delimiter=": ">
If you haven't found this already, see here for general instructions:
