Template:Citation Style documentation/display
From Digital Sinology
- mode: Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided. For
|mode=cs1
, element separator and terminal punctuation is a period (.
); where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved...'). For |mode=cs2
, element separator is a comma (,
); terminal punctuation is omitted; where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved...'). To override default terminal punctuation use postscript.
- author-mask: Replaces the name of the first author with em dashes or text. Set author-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide; set author-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all authors for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use with bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as shortened footnotes. Do not use in a list generated by
{{reflist}}
, <references />
or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed. You can also use editor-mask and translator-mask in the same way.
- display-authors: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of authors, set display-authors to the desired number. For example,
|display-authors=2
will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, all authors are displayed. |display-authors=etal
displays all authors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayauthors.
- display-editors: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set display-editors to the desired number. For example,
|display-editors=2
will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed. |display-editors=etal
displays all editors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayeditors.
- last-author-amp: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space (
&
) when set to y
, yes
, or true
. Example: |last-author-amp=yes
- postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (
.
); for no terminating punctuation, specify |postscript=none
– leaving |postscript=
empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous. Ignored if quote is defined.
