MHRA Style: multiple pages in Roman numeral pagination

danny_wolpert
Hi.

citing introductions, often in roman numerals I get:

Thomas Mann, Der Zauberberg; Roman. (Frankfurt am Main: Fischer, 1924), p. xiv–xx.

Can the CSL be changed to recognise roman numerals as following the MHRA rules for multiple page numbers so I can get:

Thomas Mann, Der Zauberberg; Roman. (Frankfurt am Main: Fischer, 1924), pp. xiv–xx. ?

Thanks!

    we can't (as in: it's not possible to) change the CSL for that, no - but maybe Frank could take a look if we could solve this with citeproc? My idea would be that anything connected with a hyphen/en-dash would be treated as multiple pages, even if there are no numbers.

    Thanks for the swift response.
    Indeed, anything separated by a hyphen/en dash in the page field to be treated as multiple page numbers would seem to be the easiest solution.

    You can try an updated version of the processor that attempts to fix this, by installing this plugin, the sole effect of which is to swap in the latest version of the CSL processor. Be sure the remove the plugin to allow normal updates to take effect.
