            <suffix>) </suffix>
         </date>
         <title font-style="italic">
            <suffix>.</suffix>
         </title>
         <editor/>
         <title relation="series">
            <suffix>, </suffix>
         </title>
         <publisher-place/>
         <publisher>
            <prefix>:</prefix>
         </publisher>
      </reftype>

```
