Implicit use of comma between collapsed citation elements #11

Closed fbennett closed 13 years ago

fbennett commented 13 years ago

When citations in an author-date style are collapsed by removing an author element, a comma is implicitly used as the default delimiter, as discussed in schema tracker issue #40.

We now have a cite-group-delimiter attribute in the schema trunk (see https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/issues/52 ), but I used the delimiter set on cs:citation as the default value. While I prefer this option, perhaps we should stick with a comma? Otherwise citeproc-js needs a different default, and output of existing CSL 1.0 styles that depend on the default comma delimiter will regress. E.g., currently, with a comma as the default cite-group-delimiter

<citation delimiter="; " collapse="year"/>

gives "(Doe 2002, 2004; Smith 2003)".

Maybe keep implicit comma for now, and think again about whether to use cs:citation delimiter as the default at the CSL 1.1 watershed?

rmzelle commented 13 years ago

Agreed. (and comma is really "comma space")
