Summary description: APA 7 citation rendering for Traditional Chinese prose
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
biblatex-apa-zh adapts APA 7 citation rendering to Traditional Chinese prose. It
is a companion package for biblatex-apa, which ships localisation files for more
than twenty languages, but none for Chinese.
The package separates two things that are easy to conflate. The language of the
running text determines citation punctuation, and is set by a package option:
Chinese prose takes full-width parentheses and commas. The language of each
cited work determines its name strings and the punctuation of its bibliography
entry, and is read from the langid field of that entry, so a single reference
list may mix Chinese and Western works. Unlike the autolang mechanism of
biblatex, it does not require babel or polyglossia, which makes it usable in the
common xeCJK setup.
The strings and bibliography punctuation follow the traditional Chinese academic
convention as used in Taiwan. Simplified Chinese conventions differ and are not
covered by this release. The package ships a test suite that asserts on the
rendered output and exits non-zero on any mismatch.
