How to remove space between Edition and Year

Question

I'd like to remove the space between the edition and the year but I don't know how.

To explain: I put the edition before the year by changing the bibmacro publisher+location+date and removing \printfield{edition} from the bibliography driver. I did the same for in collection but I didn't put it up here. I don't know if that's the best solution but it works

Answer 1

Your code almost does what you want. You just need a % after \printfield{edition}. In LaTeX the end of a line behaves like a space and may therefore cause a space to appear in the output unless it is commented out with %. See What is the use of percent signs (%) at the end of lines? (Why is my macro creating extra space?) for a more thorough discussion.

So

\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addcolon\space}%
  \printlist{publisher}%
  \setunit*{\space}%
  \printfield{edition}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

will work as intended.

In the biblatex-ext documentation (§5.4 Selected bibliography macros, p. 33 in v0.14) I suggest the following shorter solution.

It only requires a switch from style=authortitle-ibid, to style=ext-authortitle-ibid,. (This change will otherwise have no effect on the output. ext-authortitle-ibid is a drop-in replacement for authortitle-ibid.)

\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle,german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=ext-authortitle-ibid, pagetracker=false]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\mkbibcompletename}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
\DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{\addcolon\space}
\DeclareFieldFormat{title}{#1\isdot}
\renewbibmacro*{edition}{}
\DeclareFieldFormat{superedition}{\textsuperscript{#1}}
\newbibmacro*{superedition}{%
  \iffieldnums{edition}
    {\printfield[superedition]{edition}}
    {\printfield{edition}%
     \setunit{\addspace}}}
\renewcommand{\pubdatedelim}{\addspace}
\renewcommand{\locdatedelim}{\pubdatedelim}
\renewbibmacro{pubinstorg+location+date}[1]{%
  \printlist{location}%
  \iflistundef{#1}
    {\setunit{\locdatedelim}}
    {\setunit{\locpubdelim}}%
  \printlist{#1}%
  \setunit{\pubdatedelim}%
  \usebibmacro{superedition}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{ZimmerlingCharismatisch,
  author    = {Zimmerling, Peter},
  title     = {Charismatische Bewegungen},
  publisher = {Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht},
  location  = {Göttingen},
  year      = {2018},
  Edition   = {2},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
Text\autocite{ZimmerlingCharismatisch}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

The idea here is to avoid having to modify the bibliography driver, which would need lots of code, by using the new edition bibmacro from biblatex-ext to disable the "usual" edition printing.

Then we just need to add the edition to the date. This is done in the meta macro pubinstorg+location+date, which ultimately ends up defining publisher+location+date as in your example.

See also Print the edition as an apex/superscript after the year in (or https://golatex.de/viewtopic.php?p=107206#p107206 in the German goLaTeX forum).
