Numbers

Bibliographies use numbers in the following places: edition, volume, issue, and page numbers.

Using the example of the edition, we'll show how you edit the appearance of numbers in a component. For this example, we assume an English citation style which requires a space and the word "edition" after the edition number, using ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.). In the citation style editor, double-click the Edition component to edit its properties.

To configure ordinals, select the Use ordinals checkbox and enter the suffixes for ordinal numbers. Use the Regular ordinals box to set the standard form (in English, this is "th", as in "4th"). Use the Irregular ordinals box to set the irregular ordinals (in English, "1st", "2nd", "3rd"). Pair each irregular number with its suffix, using the pipe symbol (Shift+\ on a US keyboard, Alt Gr+` on a UK keyboard) as the separator: 1|st|2|nd|3|rd

The edition field also has an edition derived component. Edition derived extracts the edition number from an edition such as "2nd improved and expanded edition" and lists only it in the bibliography.
