Numbered style - In-text cited pages coded into template disables ranges

[nicrayner]

Hi,

I wanted to see if I could code the Cited Pages from the Edit&Manage citation option into a Vancouver numbered style, but I ran into a few issues. For it to properly show the brackets around the numbers and automatically choose between p or pp, it needed an extra space at the end. But somehow this disabled the grouped citation (eg 1-3) option when not Cited Pages were used.

This is what I used to make p/pp work:

Is this normal? I tried any other way, but the closing bracket just somehow ended up around the last citation number otherwise, and not behind the page number until I used the link operator.

For the Author (Year) option (that displays like Name superscript number), it was less important to have the display as it’s hardly used.

I know a way to bypass this is just putting the page number example written as (p2-4) into the suffix, but I was wondering what Cited Pages is otherwise for if I can’t use it for the template.

I hope this makes sense?

Hi Leanne, yes that’s what we were trying to do as it’s an exception we wrote into our citation style guide that in certain circumstances you can mention the page number if you wanted to specifically highlight the info.

It does seem to be a glitch. I guess the bypass suffix option works best in that circumstance then. Thanks for your reply
