I want to include some minor changes into the sbl-style:
- When I make a reference to a journal article, the sbl-style has this style:
Jürgen Winkler, „Hi: Zwei“,St7,2 (2016): 9–33.
How can I change the double points to a comma, such as:
Jürgen Winkler, „Hi: Zwei“,St7,2 (2016), 9–33.
- An article in an edited volume will be shown as:
Winkler, Jürgen. „Hallo Welt“. Seiten 10–35 in History.Herausgegeben von Jaap Baum und Werner Winkler. Hamburg, 2003.
How can I create this format:
Winkler, Jürgen. „Hallo Welt“, in: Baum, Jaap/ Winkler, Werner (Hgg.): History, Hamburg 2003, 10–35.
- An Arabic book within an Arabic series has this format:
Kirk Son, Hrsg., ARABIC BOOKTITLE,2 Bde., ARABIC SERIESTITLE 3 (Beirut, 1995).
I am wondering why the volumes ("2 Bde.") were placed before the title of the series? How can I fix this?
Here is my example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@incollection{Winkler.2003,
author = {Winkler, Jürgen},
title={Hallo Welt},
shorttitle = {Hallo},
editor = {Baum, Jaap and Winkler, Werner},
year = {2003},
maintitle = {History},
location = {Hamburg},
pages={10--35},
}
@book{Son.1975,
editor = {Son, Kirk},
title = {\textarabic{رسائلن، تعريب}},
series = {\textarabic{عظماء ات}},
number = {3},
volumes = {2},
date = {1975},
location = {Beirut},
}
@article{Winkler:2016,
author = {Winkler, Jürgen},
title = {Hi},
subtitle = {Zwei},
shorttitle = {Hi},
journaltitle = {storia},
shortjournal = {St},
volume = {7,2},
date = {2016},
pages = {9--33},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=new]{german}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script = Arabic, Scale=1.3]{Simplified Arabic}
\usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=sbl,ibidtracker=false,idemtracker=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

biblatex-sbl
style is designed to conform closely to the requirements of the SBL Handbook of Style and isn't always easy to adjust. I'll have a look at your questions later today when I get a moment. As for your third question, the reason thatvolumes
comes beforeseries
is because this is specified in §6.1.1 of the handbook. What would you like to have happen? (Note that there can be confusion in terminology.volumes
refers to the number of volumes in the book, not the total number of books in the series.)issue+date
