Upgrade StorageMedicine and Science in Sports and Exercise - formatting issues
I am using the Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise style in order to submit an article to this journal.
There are a number of errors which make it incompatible with the requirements of this journal.
Book titles should be in italics and the reference should end with the number of pages in the book.
When trying to simply edit the bibliography using the word pluggin to change the font and add the page numbers it causes additional lines to be entered rendering the functional useless.
Journal article names should be in italics - I have worked out how to update the .csl file for this.
The page numbers should only use the last digit of the end page number. This can be edited by simply changing it but it's time consuming.
I'm sure it's a relatively simply code but I'm not familiar with writing the codes.
If someone could help it would be appreciated.
The MSSE guidelines are here;

you need to specify page-range-format="minimal" (or "chicago"?) in the second line of the code (the <style line)
for the number of pages, you should add :
<text variable="number-of-pages"/>
in the <layout> part of the code that concerns book
To have titles in italic only for books it is more complicated (if you don't want the title of chapters in italic): all the changes are in the layout part of the code:
first remove <text macro="title" suffix=". " />
then add this line
<text macro="title" suffix=". " font-style="italic"/>
after
<if type="bill book graphic legal_case legislation motion_picture report song" match="any">
and also add this line :
<text macro="title" suffix=". "/>
after
<else-if type="chapter paper-conference" match="any">
don't forget to add font-style="italic" after "container-title"
This should work but let me know if not or if there are other issues.
