Using "and" vs "&" in APA 7th edition #219

Closed coryschires closed 4 years ago

coryschires commented 4 years ago

Problem

I think the CSL for APA 7th edition handles two authors incorrectly.

_Note: My analysis is based on: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_author_authors.html_

Examples

First, a standard cite, which works correctly:

Given I am using APA 7th edition
And an in-text cite has two authors: Wegener and Petty
Then a standard cite should render as `(Wegener & Petty, 1994)`

Next, a composite cite, which does not work as expected:

Given I am using APA 7th edition
And an in-text cite has two authors: Wegener and Petty
Then a composite cite should render as `Wegener and Petty (1994)`
But instead it renders as `Wegener & Petty (1994)`
  So it's rendering `&` when it ought to render `and`

Has this already been fixed?

Looking on Github, I see several issues / PRs that seem to be very related:

Finally, my question...

If this has been fixed, how do I ensure the correct behavior in the APA 7th edition CSL? Do I need to update the CSL XML? Is there something I need to set in citeproc-js?

Sorry if I'm being dense. It's just there seems to be a lot of discussion around this problem, and I'm having trouble getting it all straight in my head.

Yeah, this is addressed with the new intext element coming in 1.1.
