Missing publisher location in book type

Actually, this is intended. The APA spec says:

Do not include the publisher location.

See here, under the first block of examples:
https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples

…but we’re still including the metadata in the HTML 😁

Closing since this is in line with the spec. (I would personally have the location show as in other styles, but this is APA. 😇)

Well this is interesting. I had assumed when that the Hugo-Cite project was using the APA 6th version. Which is the version I work with and what I have been contributing to the project with....
However, the one you link to in this thread is the APA 7th version. So, yes there is a difference. All my contributions have been APA 6th as that was the version I thought you were implementing (the word I heard was that there was a “revolt” among many in the publishing industry against some of
the changes in the APA 7th Edition - precisely because it is seen as being less descriptive). I’m not sure how widely used 7th edition is over 6th.

If you want to be APA 7th compliant I need to look at all my contributions again and take that into consideration moving forward. Maybe the best solution is to have a switch in the theme config file and have the option to choose the style. Then just have an apa6-style.html and an apa7-style.html file. I saw someone on a fork even developed an IEEE compliant style.

let me know which direction you would like to take. (just APA 7th or two templates)

You’re right indeed, there are some differences between APA 6/7… I definitely overlooked this.

A decision will have to be made, at first I think I would chose APA 7th ed. because it’s the most recent revision (2019) but I agree it is less descriptive. I don’t own the manual for either APA6 or 7, so I rely on the online documentation.
