I'm working out how to edit a .bst
-file to customise a bibliography. I have made a number of changes, but I am struggling to work out how to add "Vol." to the reference before my volume. As you can see, I have edited the standard plainnat.bst
below to as 'no.'
before number and 'p.'
before page, but this was just through trial and error and a good guess based on what was showing.
FUNCTION {format.vol.num.pages}
{ volume field.or.null
number empty$
'skip$
{ "\penalty0 \ no. " number * "," * *
volume empty$
{ "there's a number but no volume in " cite$ * warning$ }
'skip$
if$
}
if$
pages empty$
'skip$
{ duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ format.pages }
{ "\penalty0 \ p. " * pages n.dashify * }
if$
}
if$
}
Please can someone advice on what changes to make to add "vol."
before my volume number.
.bst
language, but does"Vol.~" volume field.or.null *
or"Vol.~" * volume field.or.null
help? – moewe Jul 24 '16 at 19:00
