Upgrade StorageDate range does not show up in style output
Dear all,
I would like to cite a conference paper, which is not yet in a proceedings, so I need to describe the full date of the conference, e.g. June 9-11 2012. My problem is that the output only shows June 9 2012.
I am using the APA 6th style. First no month/day info was shown at all for conference papers. Therefore I added the following macro:
<macro name="day-month">
<date variable="issued">
<date-part name="month"/>
<date-part name="day" prefix=" "/>
</date>
</macro>
And the following line in the bibliography:
<text macro="day-month"/>
This way, 'June 9' is now shown. However I would like to have the full 'June 9-11'.
I had a try with 'date-ranges' as described in the CSL specification, but that did not work out.
Should I change the way my data is entered in Zotero?
Should I change something to the style?
Or is there no way to change this because the regular expression in Zotero will always ignore anything that comes after the '9'?
Could someone help me out?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
That is a pitty. I am also a bit surprised because I would expect that this is an issue that many people have. At least in computer science it seems to be quite common to cite conference papers. Such conferences almost always take more than one day. A date range such as 'June 9-11' would then need to be cited.
Normally I would not care too much about having 'June 9' rather than 'June 9-11', but it is for the bibliography in my PhD thesis...
