Problem with "date ranges"

gtakano

Hi everyone,

I need some help with my csl. I'm trying to edit a style since yesterday morning. I've started with "infoclio (petites majuscules, french)" and I want to add a "date range" but I don't know How (despite i've read and tried: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#date-ranges ).

For example the following note: NAME, F.N., [i]title[/i], Place, Publisher, 1913 - 1919.
It becomes with infoclio: NAME, F.N., [i]title[/i], Place, Publisher, 1913.
And with my modification: NAME, F.N., [i]title[/i], Place, Publisher, 1919 1913.

I've modified the macro "date":
<macro name="date">
<choose>
<if type="book thesis chapter paper-conference motion_picture" match="any">
<choose>
<if variable="issued">
<date variable="issued" form="text">
<date-part name="year" range-delimiter="/"/>
</date>
...

Original code:
<macro name="date">
<choose>
<if type="book chapter paper-conference motion_picture" match="any">
<choose>
<if variable="issued">
<date variable="issued">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
...

Thanks!

assuming you're working with Zotero that has nothing to do with CSL. Zotero simply doesn't support date ranges, no matter what the CSL says.
There is a (clumsy) workaround described here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6111/2/better-date-field/#Item_14
but that's currently the best there is.
