I have a question regarding the Bibdesk template syntax. I don't know if what I want to do is possible, but if anyone has any pointers, I would be most grateful. I am currently preparing a Bibdesk template that implements the Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities (http://www.law.ox.ac.uk/published/OSCOLA_4th_edn.pdf). In this style, I will need to perform two tests:
The first one checks whether the value of the edition field is 1,2,3 or a value above 3, to allow the addition of the ordinal suffix "st", "nd", "d" or "th" (for what it's worth, I am hoping not to have any books that are beyond their 20th edition). The relevant part currently looks like this: <$Edition?><$fields.Edition/> edn, </$Edition?>, As you can see, it currently simply omits the ordinal suffix. A second test needs to checks whether the "editor" field contains more than one name. The relevant part currently looks like this: $editors.normalizedName.stringByRemovingCurlyBraces.@componentsJoinedByCommaAndAndWithEtAlAfterThree/> (ed) As you can see, it will currently alway print (ed), even when there is more than one editor Cheers, Jan Jakob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
