incorrect book series formatting #63

Closed jacobmerson closed 2 years ago

jacobmerson commented 3 years ago

A book chapter with a series is supposed to be in parentheses after the italicized book name. Currently, it is written as "ser. series name".

See page 5 of the ieee reference guide

The link is gone; I cannot verify this information. @jacobmerson , @josephwright Could I kindly ask you to update the link and provide the quotation here verbatim for future uses? I was surprised to stumble into a silent change when recompiling an old document of mine, and it took me quite a while to find this very issue report. Moreover, my use case seems to be slightly different from that of @jacobmerson , so the issue might have (hypothetically) been overrepaired.

@AlMa1r If you believe there is problem, please log a new issue

AlMa1r commented 9 months ago

@josephwright No or not yet. I discovered the change (cf. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/708583) and started wondering whether there is a problem.

Here is the reference: https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/IEEE-Reference-Guide.pdf

@jacobmerson Thx! For clarification, my use case would correspond to

M. Abramowitz and I. A. Stegun, Eds., Handbook of Mathematical Functions (Applied Mathematics Series 55). Washington, DC, USA: NBS, 1964, pp. 32–33.

If “NBS” refers to a publisher, then the output in my cited question at tex.SE looks good so far, and no action in biblatex seems to be needed.

However, what is strange is the increased indent in the third item on the list after the bullet in the guideline:

Book With Series Title, Volume Title, and Edition … Examples: • A. … • R. … •  M. … • E. …

So some fix in the guidelines might be needed (at least if they wish us to really understand their formatting).
