Chicago Assyrian Dictionary #77

Open dcpurton opened 5 years ago

dcpurton commented 5 years ago

It's not possible to (easily) produce the citation for the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary when using the letter as volume.

See https://sblhs2.com/2016/06/16/chicago-assyrian-dictionary/

\cite[Š, part 1, 299-301]{CAD}

should produce:

CAD Š, part 1, 299–301.

But the postnote test code means that this is produced instead:

CAD, Š, part 1, 299–301.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@mvreference{CAD,
  author = {Gelb, Ignace J. and others},
  title = {The Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago},
  shorttitle = {CAD},
  volumes = {21},
  location = {Chicago},
  publisher = {The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago},
  date = {1956/2010},
  shorthand = {CAD}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=sbl]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite[Š, part 1, 299-301]{CAD}
\printbiblist{abbreviations}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Perhaps could be done by using \volcite?

See https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/868 which will make this easier with biblatex 3.13.
