Description

In #6865 a separator was added between collection code and collection number.

For single derived units an according formatting was implemented. As described in #6865#note-11 the formatting strategy used there is not well applicable for compact type strings that include typification information (e.g. "holotype") and duplicates (e.g. holotype + isotype) in 1 line.
Therefore we need a different formatting strategy.

Formatting suggestions were made in the early ticket #461. However, none of these examples includes collection code AND accession number (except for the example by IB in #461#note-13 which uses abbreviated type categories such as ST for syntype which do not require a trailing colon but are not well accepted by others).

Another suggestion (by FdAC) was to put the type category behind collection code/number separated by comma (#461#note-27).

The problem is partly solved if the main typification (e.g. holotype) is put in front as suggested in in #461#note-6. However, this does not solve the problem if >1 types are mentioned in the string as e.g. for the syntypes we still need a separator.

Compact type formatting is done in the TypeDesigantionWorkingsetFormatter class. (#9596)
