Page range in citations

aegirorn

I am building a custom style on Chicago and my last detail to have it complete is adding a page range that displays the pages in journal articles and book sections in citations. It looks like I already have this in the bibliography which is great but in the citations I need at the end of the citation for example:

pp 184-192, here p 188.

That is. pages containing the article, the text "here " and then the page or pages actually cited.

Thanks

Chicago style is quite complex, so you'll need to do some digging to understand how this currently work in the style, but the basics are
<group delimiter=", ">
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="page" form="short">
<text variable="page"/>
</group>
<group delimiter=" ">
<text value="here"/>
<label variable="locator" form="short"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
</group>

Thanks - is this located in the citation section or somewhere in a macro?

adamsmith

It's in a macro, I think citation-locator something?

Perfect!

I changed the "point-locators" macro and wrote:


<macro name="point-locators">
<text macro="pages"/>
<choose>
<if variable="page">
<group delimiter=", ">
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="page" form="short"/>
<text variable="page"/>
</group>
<group delimiter=" ">
<text value="here"/>
<label variable="locator" form="short"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
</group>
</if>
<else>
<label variable="locator" form="short" suffix=" "/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</else>
</choose>
</macro>


and it looks exactly the way I need. So far I do not see any problems with this.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you both! Really helpful! I've been wondering about this, too.
