Punctuation removal

pebo
Hoping that someone can help/guide me!

I have modified APA in different ways. One is that the author's first name is spelled out in the bibliography: Fehr, Beverley. (2001). I now want to remove the punctuation after the first name so it will be Fehr, Beverly (2001).

How do I make this change?

Many thanks in advance!

    The period comes from the delimiter here:
    <group delimiter=". ">
    <text macro="author"/>
    <text macro="issued"/>
    <text macro="title-plus-extra"/>
    <text macro="container"/>
    </group>

    various options, but e.g.

    <text macro="author"/>
    <group delimiter=". " prefix=" ">
    <text macro="issued"/>
    <text macro="title-plus-extra"/>
    <text macro="container"/>
    </group>

    should work.

    Thanks for the help, but it doesn't work.

    I can remove the punctuation after the name, but then the punctuation after the year also disappear.

    How do I solve this?

    using the code above you'd keep the punctuation after the year. Check your work, you have to replace the exact code blocks I have above for this to work.

    Ah, now it works!

    Thanks!
