Change in Place

sasa1989

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create a new citation style, which works out pretty well so far. However I'm currently fighting some major problems in solving the following problem by myself:
How the citation is:
Neumann, Birgit: Die Rhetorik der Nation in britischer Literatur und anderen Medien des 18. Jahrhunderts. Trier 2009 (Studies in English Literary and Cultural History 39).

How it should be:
Neumann, Birgit: Die Rhetorik der Nation in britischer Literatur und anderen Medien des 18. Jahrhunderts (Studies in English Literary and Cultural History 39). Trier 2009.

I suppose that is a simple change of place in the code needed. However I don't know what I need to change.

The code on which I am basing myself is called: Infoclio (German-Switzerland)

Thanks in a advance for any helpful ideas.

please post your modified version of the style somewhere we can look at it, e.g. a public gist at gist.github.com or pastebin.com - neither requires registration.

It can be seen under the following link:

just move the volume medium macro behind the place macro, i.e.
<text macro="place" suffix=" "/>
<text macro="volume-or-medium" suffix=" "/>
instead of
<text macro="volume-or-medium" suffix=" "/>
<text macro="place" suffix=" "/>

I tried it, but it doesn't result in any change. The title in brackets is the name of the series in which the book was published. I taught maybe there was a misunderstanding...

adamsmith

sorry I did that too quickly
so the series title is in the macro date-pages-and-collections
You can try to remove it from there (i.e. remove text macro="collections") and put it in the complete reference macro. It's a bunch of steps, so I don't really have the time to walk you through all of them, but that's the general idea.

Thank you, although I understand the steps theoretically, I don't know enough to fulfill it by myself. Maybe you can give me some additional information, or tell me where I can find it. Or maybe someone else is able to help me on this one.

I posted the latest version of the cls-code on:

Thanks in advance

no one?

It's a lot of work to provide step-by-steps for editing styles, you'll have to do most of the legwork here.

What exactly isn't clear, what have you tried, etc.?

FWIW CSL is fully documented:

and there is a GUI editor
