Yet another style question - putting PhD diss. within brackets

DamianEvans
Hi,

My style guide asks for:
FORMAT
Author: ‘title of the thesis in roman type-face’, (Degree, University, Year), page number. EXAMPLE
Little, Jonathan: ‘The Origins of Quarter-tone Harmony’, (Ph.D diss., Trinity College Dublin, 1982), 55.

Whereas my style gives me:

Mullaney-Dignam, Karol Anne: ‘STATE, NATION AND MUSIC IN INDEPENDENT IRELAND, 1922-51’, Ph.D. diss., (National University of Ireland, Maynooth, 2008).

I'm not sure how to bring the Ph.D. diss., inside the brackets rather than outside.

I apologise for not being able to get to grips with the code for this, without that background, it really is beyond me, I have tried! Any help appreciated.

The style is here:

Many thanks,
Damian

    Details may need tweaking, but the general idea would be
    <macro name="publisher">
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <choose>
    <if type="thesis">
    <text variable="genre"/>
    </if>
    </choose>
    <group delimiter=": ">
    <text variable="publisher-place"/>
    <text variable="publisher"/>
    </group>
    <text macro="issued"/>
    </group>
    </macro>


    And then deleting the genre variable (at least for thesis) further up.

    Many thanks, I'm fairly sure I'll manage the tweaks. You've helped me so many times, is there an appropriate place to make a small thank you contribution?
