3 dashes in my new style!

banana21311 · October 11, 2018

Good evening.

I tried making new style in CSL style editor, everything went pretty good, but i cant get rid of those 3 dashes/hyphens in page range. https://imgur.com/a/fXDMBj2

I used CSL because thats only way I can create style that will suite me, I am not really into codes. If you can change this page range to look like "s. 29-31." , I will be very helpful.

Here is my .csl dokument downloaded from csl editor https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dHpp4BCq_Pm-QiDjZP1i_dPe6XS_lbaN/view?usp=sharing

Thank you very much.

Can you post your style code to http://hastebin.com and link here? That will be easier to review? What style did you start with?

banana21311 · October 11, 2018

hastebin kinda didnt work, so code is here http://pasted.co/a3efeccc the password is: zotero

I started with this one http://editor.citationstyles.org/styleInfo/?styleId=http://www.zotero.org/styles/iso690-full-note-sk but i reworked a few things.

If you want us to look at the style, you´ll have to find a way to post it that doesn´t require using a password or downloading a file, which is why hastebin was suggested (click on the page with a plus sign icon to create the bin and then share the URL).

In general terms the dashes come from subsequent-author-substitute, so you´ll want to delete that. I don´t follow the page range question.

Hope you understand now, sorry for bad explanation

ah OK. So it looks like there's a very odd bug in Zotero's CSL processor when you put spaces around the page delimiter. You can fix this if you remove
<term name="page-range-delimiter"> – </term>

If you do need the spaces on either side of the page-range-delimiter, I'm not sure there is a solution at this time.

@fbennett just to be sure this is on your radar

dashes dissapeared, thank you very much for that! but i found another problem unfortunately. when i hit "Add/Edit Bibliography" button in Microsoft Word zotero plugin, blibliography will show up, but some of it without total number of pages. i will show you the example: https://imgur.com/a/5rjh4bc

I need total number of pages to show up between year of issue and ISBN, heres the code https://hastebin.com/izekecezuj.xml , could you please help one more time? i would be really grateful

You need to use <text variable="number-of-pages"/>

banana21311 · October 12, 2018

ok so everything is working as i wanted/needed thanks to you guys. Thank you very much!

Hi there,

I had the page-range-delimiter bug today, too, and just wanted to ask if there are any plans on fixing it:
" - " still results in " - - - "

Spaces on either side of the page-range-delimiter (whatever the limiter is...) are needed for the style I'm working on right now. Is there any other way to do this?
