Need to add a full stop after "p" in citations that include page number?

makislog
Hey everyone!
Is there any way to add a full stop after p?
I'd like to have p. XX instead of p XX.
Thanks in advance

    Yes. Certainly. It sounds like the strip-periods is set to true on the label variable="page". By default it should be shown as p. or pp.

    (Hard to tell without seeing your code though. If you want to share it, upload it to Hastebin and share a link with us here.)

    Thank you for your answer. I am not sure how to find my code. Could you please help me with that?
  • adamsmith
    which citation style are you using ?
    (I think damnation assumed this was a customized citation style)
  • makislog
    American Psychological Association 6th edition

    The default APA style in Zotero does have a full stop after the p. What exactly are you entering into the page field? And are you talking about an in-text citation page number or the pages for a book chapter in the bibliography?
  • makislog
    I'm talking about in-text citations. In the page field I just enter the number. I forgot to mention that the full stop is missing when I choose Greek in the documents preferences
  • bwiernik
    Okay, just to be sure, the full stop is there if you set English as your language?
  • makislog
    Exactly
  • adamsmith
    so you're saying that
    σ. and σσ. would be correct, right? We can fix this, but the fill will wait to the next Zotero version. You can fix it by adding

    <locale xml:lang="el">
    <terms>
    <term name="page" form="short">
    <single>σ.</single>
    <multiple>σσ.</multiple>
    </term>
    </terms>
    </locale>
    towards the top of the style right after the last </locale> tag.

  • makislog
    Yes, σ. and σσ. are correct.

    Thank you for the code, I'll try to fix it!
  • adamsmith
    If this doesn't work for you, the fix is also now in the next version of Zotero, which will be 5.0.57 (can't tell you when that will be released, though)
  • dstillman
    The updated Greek locale is now available in the latest Zotero beta.
  • makislog
    Thank both of you. Since I'm still learning how to use Zotero, I'll stick to 5.0.56 till the release version is out.
