I am doing the citing sources in-text.
I am following the question in to change to where it able to make to “Smith (1992&1993)”
I couldn't find the symbol & in the setting at all.
How to make from:
“Smith (1992 & 1993)”
to
“Smith (1992; 1993)”

&and also i was thinking change to;but not worked, should beaddsemicolon– aan Sep 24 '19 at 15:57;instead of\addsemicolonwould have worked as well, but\addsemicolonis the official macro that should be used and so it is strongly preferred over;since it can do some additional bookkeeping.\;of course would not have worked (if you just went for a straight replace&with;job). – moewe Sep 24 '19 at 16:00
