<div style="">My school requires a variant of harvard style bibliography.<br>
<br>
I used makebst to create a bibliography style that suits most of their requirements.<br>
<br>
However, there is still one option which I cannot get to display.<br>
<br>
My citations require a nomenclature written with <last name> comma <first name initials> COMMA date.<br>
<br>
example:<br>
<br>
Smith, J., 2001. The world crisis. Dumbsville: The University Press.<br>
<br>
However, what I get is:<br>
<br>
Smith, J. 2001. The world crisis. Dumbsville: The University Press.<br>
<br>
<br>
makebst has an explicit option for this format (taken from the dbj file):<br>
<br>
%>>REVERSED DATE (if including month)<br>
%>>DATE FORMAT (if non author-year citations)<br>
%<<DATE FORMAT (if author-year citations)<br>
% %: (def) Year plain without any brackets<br>
% yr-par,%: Year in parentheses as (1993)<br>
% yr-brk,%: Year in brackets as [1993]<br>
% yr-col,%: Year preceded by colon as `: 1993'<br>
% yr-per,%: Year preceded by period as `. 1993'<br>
yr-com,%: Date preceded by comma as `, 1993'<br>
% yr-blk,%: Year preceded by space only, as ` 1993'<br>
<br>
However, despite selecting the option "yr-com,%: Date preceded by comma as `, 1993'"<br>
the compiled bst file refuses to display the bibliographical citation in this format.<br>
<br>
How can I get the comma to display?<br>
<br>
Zip file with minimal example enclosed.<br>
