Cambridge University Press - Law (note) | Ibid option

HannaKUL

Hi,

I would like to include the "ibid" option in the "Cambridge University Press - Law (note)" style. I have tried to do this myself using explanations given in previous discussions, but it is a bit Chinese to me. Is there any chance someone can help me with this?

Many thanks!

Hanna

So I mean the following:

- If the source, including the page number is identical: "Ibid"

- If it contains another page from the same source: "Ibid, p. [...]"

You'll need to edit the style following this general guide: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step

If you look in the <citation... section you will see a conditional.
That already has defined how subsequent citations look. To that you had an else-if condition for ibid+ibid-with-locator like so.

<else-if position="ibid ibid-with-locator" match="any">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text term="ibid" form="short"/>
<text macro="pageref"/>
</group>
</else-if>

Thanks for the input. I tried to adjust the style, but now I am just not able to upload the .csl file... Is there a chance I can just send you the new code?

First run it through: validator.citationstyles.org/
To share your code, upload to pastebin.com and share the link.

Okay, I ran it through the validator and there was a mistake in the "ibid" section. When I simply inserted what you suggested, the validator tells me it is not correct.

So I tried to make changes but it is still not correct apparently:

The code does not want to appear in this discussion?

Short pieces of code: <code>asdf</code>

Large pieces via pastebin.com or similar.

The ibid-section can be found under lines 186 and following

Well, you didn't copy paste my code, that's why it got broken.
You can only have one if and one else.
Generally it's:
if
else-if
else-if
....
else

If I include your suggestion, I get two errors:

Line 186: Element “choose” from namespace “http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl” is missing a required instance of child element “if”.




Line 192: Element “if” from namespace “http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl” not allowed as child of element “choose” from namespace “http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

-if>

You butchered that quite a bit. haha

Also, you need to be careful as you're using some " " marks that are not correct. You also just invented a new term ibid-short that just doesn't exist in CSL.
