Short title, elipsis and quotes

MRoeges

Hi,

I'm currently editing a style for the Journal of Belgian History and got some trouble on a particular type of citation.

When a work is cited twice or more, the JBH expect to use the short title followed by an elipsis:

PIETER LAGROU, Het Srebrenica-rapport en de geschiedenis van het heden, 2003.

becomes

PIETER LAGROU, Het Srebrenica-rapport…, p. 10.

I'm fine till here!

BUT if the item is cited with quotes, as for example this article...

PIETER LAGROU, “De l’histoire du temps présent à l’histoire des autres: Comment une discipline critique devint complaisante,” in Vingtième Siècle. Revue d’histoire, vol. 118, 2013, p. 101.

...it should be presented with the elipsis inside the quotes:

PIETER LAGROU, “De l’histoire du temps présent à l’histoire des autres…", p. 100.

My problem is that if use <text variable="title" form="short" suffix="…" quotes="true"/> the quotes are actually before the elipsis :

autres"…,

I tried with
<locale xml:lang="en-US">
<style-options punctuation-in-quote="true"/>
</locale>

But it affected a lot of other citations (which was not the purpose) and not that one in particular.

Any idea how i could solve this?

Since the "quotes" attribute may only be used on the "text" element, try something like:

<text macro="title-quotes" quotes="true"/>

with the following macro

<macro name="title-quotes">
<text variable="title" form="short" suffix="…"/>
</macro>
