Remove p. and pp. from Australian Archaeology style: Help with coding

Hello,

I'm trying to change the locator (label) from "p." and "pp." to ":" so that in-text citations appear like this: (Smith 2021:15–20) , at the moment they appear like this: (Smith 2021, pp. 15–20).

Code is as follows:

<single>ed.</single>

  • What you want is to "remove the locator label". Find that in the macro called "citation-locator" and remove the label.

    (also, always better to put large chunks of code on pastebin/similar, rather than a wall of code here. Easier for us to test things out and also give exact line numbers. ;) )
  • You'll also want to switch the delimiter in the citation, so change
    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", ">
    <group delimiter=", ">

    to
    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", ">
    <group delimiter=":">
