style design: where is "last-page"

giby
Hi,

I'm trying to design a style. There is an argument "page-first" and "pages", but I'm looking for "page-last", for exemple If I tried to get pages as 10:15… How could I proceed, either changing "-" to ":" or pliting 10 and 15 in order to be free to use wichever symbol be them?

    You can't access last page in CSL (since that's never used by itself in a citation style as far as we know).
    You can set the page-range-delimiter in CSL, see e.g. https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/american-medical-association.csl#L29 for an example.
    If you have any choice in this, though, using a colon as a page-range-delimiter is a bad idea in a citation style. It'll invariably be read as "volume 10, page 15" because the colon is used commonly as a delimiter between volume and page number and never (in the >1000 different styles we have) between pages.

    Use the page variable and add something like this near the beginning of the style:


    <locale xml:lang="en">
    <terms>
    <term name="page-range-delimiter">:</term>
    </terms>
    </locale>


    See for an example:

    I remember that being a bug in the citation processor that was fixed a while back. Try to install the Propachi plugin (which updates the processor to the newest version):
    https://github.com/Juris-M/propachi-vanilla/releases

    If it fixes the issue, you can uninstall the plugin the next time Zotero updates.
  • giby
    Well… I cannot install it… it said it was not an appropriate format…

    Anyway, it's not local, it does also triple in the only tool to design styles…
  • bwiernik
    You've downloaded this .xpi file and tried to install it in Zotero?
    https://github.com/Juris-M/propachi-vanilla/releases/download/v1.1.112/propachi-vanilla-v1.1.112-fx.xpi

    Not sure what you mean by "the only tool to design styles..."
  • adamsmith
    I assume that refers to the visual editor which also currently uses a fairly old version of the citation processor.
  • giby
    I wanted indeed to writte "on-line" my mistake…

    I downloaded the file, but I could not install it
  • adamsmith
    You want to install in Zotero under Tools-->Add-ons. Have you tried?

    It gives:
