Chicago full note: Use colon before page number

per-olav

Hi

I would like to use colon instead of comma before the page number at the end of the reference. Right now it's like "Author, Title, Page" (Hamre, Norges historie, 55). I want it to be "Author, Title: Page" (Hamre, Norges historie: 55).

How do I change the style to get it like this?

this is for the "note" version, not for the "full note" version, right?

for that, find
<else>
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<group delimiter=" ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="title-short"/>
<!--if title & author are the same: -->
<text macro="date-disambiguate"/>
<text macro="case-locator-subsequent"/>
</group>
<text macro="case-issue-subsequent"/>
</group>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else>

and change to

<else>
<group delimiter=": ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<group delimiter=" ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="title-short"/>
<!--if title & author are the same: -->
<text macro="date-disambiguate"/>
<text macro="case-locator-subsequent"/>
</group>
<text macro="case-issue-subsequent"/>
</group>
</group>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else>

Thanks for the quick answer! It's the full note, but after the first reference it is shortened. I tried to use your solution, and it worked well. Of course, the first time I use a reference to one author it will still use comma, but the rest just worked like a charm!

Thanks a lot, Adam!
