Editing Page Number Display in In-text citations

nickmdowson
Hi,
I'm trying to edit the way my current style (Harvard - Imperial College London) displays page numbers in in-text citations.

If I'm specifying a page number(s), I'd like it to display it as (Ellis, 1987:87-101). However, what it does is (Ellis, 1987, pp. 87-101).

How can I edit the style to do this? I can't see what option would do it..

    are you editing by hand in the xml or using the visual editor?

    If editing by hand, find this
    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <text macro="author-short"/>
    <text macro="year-date"/>
    <group>
    <label variable="locator" form="short"/>
    <text variable="locator"/>
    </group>
    </group>
    </layout>

    replace by
    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
    <group delimiter=":">
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <text macro="author-short"/>
    <text macro="year-date"/>
    </group>
    <text variable="locator"/>
    </group>
    </layout>

    in the visual editor, try to follow the same logic (you can achieve equivalent results using prefixes, but group delimiters are more elegant&stable)

    Thanks very much, look like that worked (editing by hand)!

    Just for future reference, which bit of the xml is it creating the p/pp.?
