Style Editing Help / GMPG Style

Hi,

for our research program’s publications, we are working on a csl for our own full note citation style, the "GMPG style," which is based loosely on Chicago, and could use help with a couple of things.

This is the code:

I’m aware that the style doesn’t quite validate– I took the file over from someone else so I don’t know where the error came from or how to fix it, so any help with that would already be much appreciated.


Aside from that, there are four main issues that we weren’t able to solve by ourselves:

1. Book Sections: The citation format for book sections is still all wrong (see example below for correct format).

2. English punctuation: Quotation marks should be double (instead of single). Also, the full stop at the end of a title needs to be inside the quotations marks.

3. Bibliography: The bibliography lists the short title of journal articles instead of the full title.

4. Use of "et al." in German: We would like to use "et al." in citations in German (instead of "u.a.", which the German locale file provides)

Thank you so much for your help!

  • for validation, in line 28 it should be "editortranslator" (as it correctly is in line 32). I think that's the only problem.
  • and for double-quotes and punctuation in quotes, add default-locale="en-US" to the second line of the style, the one starting with <style...
  • Ah right, thank you! I didn't even realize the single quotes came from the British English locale
