Good day,

I’m trying to create a citation style for the North-west University in
South Africa. I could do most of the style adjustments, but at this stage I
struggle with a specific problem:

There are specific situations where we need to make 2 entries in the
bibliography for one citation. One example is whith laws. In the text you
refer to the law by name, but in the bibliography you need an inscription
that will refer you to “South Africa”. Both entries should be in
alphabetical order along with all other entries. See the example from our
referencing guide:

Text:
The Labour Relations Act (66 of 1995) regulates the organisational rights
of trade unions.

Reference list:
Labour Relations Act see South Africa.

OR

Acts see South Africa.
South Africa. 1995. Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995.

I managed to be able to create both entries, but they end up still as one
entry, next to one another:

Suid-Afrika. 2003. Wet op Gesondheid 61 van 2003. Wet op Gesondheid kyk
Suid-Afrika.

Source code:

If someone can direct me in solving the problem, I would really appreciate
it.

Thank you
Hermien

Good day,

I’m trying to create a citation style for the North-west University in South
Africa. I could do most of the style adjustments, but at this stage I
struggle with a specific problem:

bibliography for one citation. One example is whith laws. In the text you

OR

Acts see South Africa.
South Africa. 1995. Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995.

I’m not quite sure what the pointers signify. Is “Acts” a unique
pointer to “South Africa”, and is “Labour Relations Act” a unique
pointer to “South Africa”? That is, do each of these three terms
signify exactly one thing (it wouldn’t seem so, but just to confirm).

If not, this looks more like an indexing requirement. For that, you
would be best off using an index tool, which can perform the
hierarchical nesting and sub-sorting that would be needed to handle
multiple items under a single heading.

If that sounds unresponsive, could you point us to a finished
bibliography formatted according to your target requirements? I may be
mistaken about what the supplemental references mean.
