Help with modifying style code please

Hello. I am having trouble modifying this style to include "original-date" in the bibliography. I have a mistake somewhere that is producing "1970, [1845]T..." instead of "1970 [1845], T...".

https://pastebin.com/yQHxMHfv

How do I change:
Marx, K. H., and Engels, F., 1970, [1845]The German ideology, International Publishers, New York.

To:
Marx, K. H., and Engels, F., 1970 [1845], The German ideology, International Publishers, New York.

Thanks very much!

    1. in Zeile 310 rufst du ein Makro auf, das nicht exisitert. Also die Zeile erst mal löschen.
    2. Dann Zeilen 309-310 hiermit austauschen:

    <group delimiter=" " suffix=", ">
    <text macro="date"/>
    <text macro="original-date" prefix=" [" suffix="]"/>
    </group>

    3. Zeile 6, den self-link auch anpassen, dass er modified enthaelt.
  • Wonderful, thank you.

    Can I change my style to to give the title of the reference if there is no author, as in APA7, instead of "Anon/Anonymous"? In my style, this is Lines 36-50, but I can't find the variable(s) in APA7. ... Or would this be a major rewriting of the code?

    Thanks very much.
  • You need to change the macro called "anon". Instead of the term "anon" you specify the variable "title".

    Hello. I got close, but I still am stuck on the punctuation in the bibliography. I tried to add a variation of your code above, but it wasn't correct.

    CHANGE:
    Documents, 1832, . Archive.
    TO:
    Documents, 1832. Archive.

    Is it possible to add two macros as in APA7 (starting Line 439 for date-bib and Line 523 for date-intext)? I think I have the code and line spacing correct, but I don't know where to insert it.

    style code: https://pastebin.com/yQHxMHfv
    macro APA7 439: https://pastebin.com/ED1NZTQq
    macro APA7 523: https://pastebin.com/b33zJXM2

    Thanks so much (again) for your help!
