Style error: chicago-author-date.csl with citeproc-hs: two full stops after "ed.."

nickbart

When using chicago-author-date.csl with pandoc/citeproc-hs, two full stops appear after the abbreviation for "edition", i.e. "ed..".

This does not happen in Zotero, which, once more, seems to be more forgiving than other processors.

Changing, in <macro name="edition">, the two occurrences of

<text term="edition" form="short"/>

to

<text term="edition" form="short" strip-periods="true"/>

seems to solve this issue.

Could the version in the repository be updated accordingly?

Thank you.

that will have to be done with caution. This time this is actually due to a difference in philosophy between -js and -hs: -js removes duplicate periods, -hs doesn't.
There are a lot of advantages to the -js approach here - especially that we don't need to pay attention to what follows the edition macro - because if it is followoed by a comma, we _wouldn't_ want to strip the period (that's definitely the case for chapter at times, not sure for books).
Andrea strongly disagrees with the -js approach here, I believe, but he doesn't code any styles ;-)...

I see, that’s all a bit difficult on the processors’ side.

And you’re right, chapters are indeed special.

Still, in Chicago-Author-Date, page numbers, or volume with page numbers apparently are the only elements that are ever separated from the edition by a comma. All other elements, even volume if appearing without page numbers, are separated by a full stop.

Thus, if the second occurrence of <text term="edition" form="short"/> (which formats chapter and paper-conference) is left unchanged, the results seem ok.

The style is now fixed. The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp).
