Add page number or pages to bibliography.

reportsfromluke · March 5, 2012

I'm starting out with this CSL. Yesterday, I learned how to add a field in the bibliography via

<text variable="abstract" prefix="
"/>

My question now is how to add the field for pages in the bibliography. With the two kinds of page citations I have (for example in a journal, or single chapter : p 431-489 or an entire book: 490 pgs). I would like for the citation to differentiate between the two types. Can anyone suggest a way to cite this information? Thank you for the help

Have a look there: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles and specially the links under "Editing CSL Styles" and "Mapping of Zotero Variables and Item Types to CSL".

490 p.:

<group delimiter=" ">
<text variable="number-of-pages"/><text term="page" form="short"/>
</group>

p. 431-489:

<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="page" form="short"><text variable="page"/>
</group>

Thank you! Could you point me in the direction where to insert these strings? Thank you.

Did you read that?

If you need help for a specific style, you can paste it into the textbox on https://gist.github.com/
Then, post here the URL of the gist (e.g. https://gist.github.com/1320111).

typically towards the bottom of the bibliography section - but that depends where in the citation/reference you want the page number/range to show up.

The details depend on the style, you'll have to tell us which one you're using.
