Upgrade Storageplural pp. xx f.
Is there a way to make a style use the plural pp. when the pages field has a page number followed by f., ie
pp. 32 f.
instead of p. 32 f.
while keeping this contextual?

You'd make this:
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="locator" form="short" plural="never"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
into this:
<group delimiter=" "><labelvariable="locator" form="short"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
pp. 32–33
but not with
p. 32 f.
I am in the Visual Editor, but looking at the code I could find the middle two lines to be exactly what you give in your second example.
I did find a work around by defining a conditional, which sets the plural to always when the page field does not contain a number. 32 f. is not a number...
That seems to work, but if there is a better/easier way let me know.
<label variable="locator" form="short" plural="always"/>https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html
pp. 32
which is not what I want. Plural should only be used for
32-33
and
32 f.
but not for
32
That's why I defined another conditional.
Zotero does know whether the content is a number or not, that's all that is required. It also knows whether the content is just one number or a range. So it certainly does know about the contents.
Anyway, I solved it.
However, I do think that this is a short coming of the current implementation: It is not uncommon to use pp. 32 f. to indicate that the reference is pointing to two pages. In which case it should render to pp.
