thank you so much for your work! I do need a style generator badly...
I tried to create a style, and it wouold install and cooperate in OpenWriter. But I need the long dash "—" as a delimiter, and that wouldn't work. Writer shows the Unicode code for this symbol instead. Any ideas?
I also have a feature request. Could you please add the option of adding the cited page number to the citation? I actually need something like this: [Lacoff: 1999, p.14] or like this [12, p. 14]. Thanks in advance! -

thank you for your tool. It is absolutely essential to have a reliable tool for the development and modification of styles.
Modifying an existing style might be much more efficient than writing a new one.
Sometimes Journals differ only in bolding or underscoring parts of references in the list. So it would be nice to copy a (close enough) style and to modify it accordingly.
Would it be possible to modify your tool, allowing for "guided" style editing? If not: Can anybody give a short "how to - easily modify an existing style"? -

That tool is very great! I'd like to have a copy of my middle column, which is not possible. So I got the advice to try it with your Style Generator. Unfortunatly I need the call number in there and as far as I can see there is no option to do so. Is there any possibility to add that? I know a call number is rather unusual in a citation but that would give the option to have the library in a column like output for a print version. -

Zotero callNumber is mapped to CSL call-number--If you want you can manually add that field to the CSL file the Style Generator created. You should be able to manually edit the file with any text editor. -

Hey Tjowens,
thank you very much for your help, but up to know I cant make it run. For some reason FF doesnt exept my editor files as cls any more... It seems I have to get involved in it a littel more. Maybe I'm lucky next time. -

Once you have edited a file you need to make sure it has the .csl extension. You can then drag it into an open browser window to add it to your list of styles. For more info on working with these do a search for csledit in the Zotero forums. -

I like the idea of the generator.. need to play with it a little but it would be great if at the bottom of the web page it provided an "example" of the style as it is built so that one can see the results of ones sections.
A sort of WYSIWYG thing ..
Also, although I have only played for a minute or two, never quite worked out how generate the different citation styles needed for the different options..
ala a Generic overarching style name... alal "NZSM Musicology" with say sub styles within ala cite a Book, Book in a Series, Journal, Web Site, recording, Book Review, etc.
That said I did only play for a few minutes so need to go back and play a lot more
Seemed to me only the individual styles could be generated which would then need to be compiled into a set.
