Combining Elements in One Component

If you want to place multiple elements between parentheses, it's best to combine these elements in one component. It can also make sense to combine two components if you need certain punctuation to appear before an element if the element before it is empty. For example, a colon might usually appear between a place of publication and the publisher. Instead of a colon you might want a comma to appear if the publisher is missing.
