That was the file I already looked at. But it does not contain no logic to format those dates. If I search for all commas in that file, none of them are used to format dates. Thanks for the pointer but it does not solve my case. Cheers, Steffen Am 09.12.2013 um 16:57 schrieb Alan BRASLAU :

Hi,

I’m using the apa-de style. When my citation includes publications from the same authors, then using

\cite[authorFirstRef,authorSecondRef]

or

\cite[authoryear][authorFirstRef,authorSecondRef]

will not include Spaces between the years, e.g.

\cite[Dyer:2012ts,Dyer:2012hy,Dyer:2013te] => … (Dyer et al., 2012a,2012b,2013a)

\cite[authoryear][Dyer:2012ts,Dyer:2012hy,Dyer:2013te] => … Dyer et al. (2012a,2012b,2013a)

How can I accomplish that the years are separated by comma and space:

=> … Dyer et al. (2012a, 2012b, 2013a)

I already played with the setupcite command and peeked at the source code but could not find the right place or an idea how to change this. Seems like setupcite has not option and this is somewhere buried deep in the compact-layout code.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Steffen
