Adding "p." and "pp." to Chicago full note style.

Hi

I'm trying to modify Chicago full note style to include p. and pp. before page numbers. I've tried to follow instructions on previous threads on this subject, but cannot get this to work. My method was rather crude and perhaps entirely wrong.

In short, every time I see the term:

<text variable="page"/>

I add, on the line above:

<label variable="page" suffix=". " form="short"/>

This seems to have worked for adding pp. to journal articles with multiple pages, but not for anything else.

Is there an easier way to do this, or a "modified" Chicago style that already exists?

Thanks
  • you also want to add
    <label variable="locator" form="short"/>
    to every instance of
    <text variable="locator"/>
    that doesn't have that already.
    Locators are the page numbers (and other pinpoints) you insert via the word processor plugin.

    I don't think that exists already, since it's against the CMoS's specifications.
  • Thank you for the quick response. I've done this, but still no luck. I can only get "pp." for journals with multiple page references. No p. or pp. for others, and no p. for journals either.

    Just to check, should I be following these 'rules' for editing strictly? I have literally added

    <label variable="page" suffix=". " form="short"/>

    and now

    <label variable="locator" form="short"/>

    Precisely as described, immediately above the "text variable" instances.

    I've edited this in text edit.
