Page prefix in citation

kennerkini

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my citation. It's just the präfix of pages. If I add a page number or a page range to my Citation there's just the page number or the range (like this: 22-24) but actually I need a Präfix lik

This is controlled by the citation style. What style are you using?

I'm using a modified version of chicago style, so that my citation is shown as a note and not inline. It should be like this (Author, Date, P. 22) for example.

If you used chicago-author-date.csl then you'll need to change the point-locators macro. For that style it's quite complex with a conditional. Depending you could just simplify it to:

<macro name="point-locators">
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="locator" form="short" suffix=" " text-case="capitalize-first"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
</macro>

I would say to start with chicago-author-date.csl (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/chicago-author-date.csl) and make the following changes:
1) In line 2, change class="in-text" to class="note"
2) Replace line 404 (which is <text variable="locator"/> with:
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="locator" form="short" text-case="capitalize-first"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
3) Change the Style ID and Title at the top of the file to something else.

Ok thanks! I wil try this. But which of this lines exactly adds a "p" in front of my pages?

bwiernik

The line starting with "label" will add the "p" label for pages and similar labels for other types of locators (e.g., "ch" for chapters).

<group delimiter=" "> ## group that adds a space between the p. and the number
<label variable="locator" form="short" text-case="capitalize-first"/> ## I´m the label for the page or chapter (p. 204 or ch. 4, for example)
<text variable="locator"/> ## I´m the number in above examples
</group> ## I'm the end of the group
