Hello, Caroline, I have a similar question. You all may know that ISBD punctuation is already scheduled to be phased out: https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/isbdmarc2016.pdf I'm trying to dispense with it in my cataloging and have Koha show it in its interface instead. So far I've been successful with the ISBD View. However, the Normal View is trickier. I have no XSLT coding skills whatsoever. Does anybody have any idea on how to edit the XSLT default templates to have them add ISBD punctuation, for example between the subfields of fields 245 and 300? Sorry for hijacking your thread!

Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding the XSLT stylesheets (for MARC21). Is it supposed to change the punctuation when displaying the record?
For instance, I have a record where there is a period (.) at the end of 100$e. So in MARC, it looks like
100 1# a Goscinny, René, d 1926-1977-, e author.
In intranet details, it looks like
Goscinny, René, 1926-1977- [author.].
There are two periods (and no comma after the date).
In the 260 field, the opposite happens. There is a period at the end of 260$c in MARC, but nothing is appearing in intranet results.
260 ## a Paris : b Gallimard jeunesse, c [2014].
In the intranet details, it looks like
Paris : Gallimard jeunesse, [2014]
There is no period after the date.
It's not clear what the XSLT is trying to do. On one hand, it looks like it's trying to complete the punctuation, but it removes it sometimes.
My knowledge of AACR2 rules for punctuation was wiped from my brain the second I graduated ~10 years ago (maybe even before, if I'm being really honest!), so I'm not even sure what the right punctuation is supposed to be.
But my question is if the XSLT is supposed to mess with the punctuation or not? And if the answer is yes, shouldn't it look first in leader/18 to see if the record already has punctuation?
Thank you for your help koha!
