    Summary description: APA 7 citation rendering for Traditional Chinese prose

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    biblatex-apa-zh adapts APA 7 citation rendering to Traditional Chinese prose. It
    is a companion package for biblatex-apa, which ships localisation files for more
    than twenty languages, but none for Chinese.
    The package separates two things that are easy to conflate. The language of the
    running text determines citation punctuation, and is set by a package option: Chinese prose takes full-width parentheses and commas. The language of each cited work determines its name strings and the punctuation of its bibliography entry, and is read from the langid field of that entry, so a single reference list may mix Chinese and Western works. Unlike the autolang mechanism of biblatex, it does not require babel or polyglossia, which makes it usable in the
    common xeCJK setup.
    The strings and bibliography punctuation follow the traditional Chinese academic
    convention as used in Taiwan. Simplified Chinese conventions differ and are not
    covered by this release. The package ships a test suite that asserts on the rendered output and exits non-zero on any mismatch.
