Multiple question about my custom made style with error.

Hi great people of zotero. I've tried creating a style. However, I have uncounted some errors.

(Dyab m.fl. 2018; Lee, Won m.fl. 2018; Soydemir m.fl. 2017). Text (Kingston m.fl. 2004; Salem m.fl. 2013). Text (Hartnell m.fl. 2012; Hewitt, Tanya m.fl. 2017).

m.fl. = et al.

How come some reference is both first name and last name? Example: Lee, won and Hewitt, tanya? But all the other with et al is correct?.

Another question: How do I add to the CSL to add one extra line between the the references in the bibliography list?

Please note that the CSL file is not yet done, and the previous code credit is not present atm.

I've noticed it's difficult to publish code on this forum. I'll add a link for easier display.

    Could be two things:
    a) The disambiguate-add-givenname="true" on citation will add first names as described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation . That seems most likely here
    b) You could check in other styles: if it happens there, too, you likely just have the data entered incorrectly in Zotero.

    Generally that'd be entry-spacing="1" which you have already set -- you can add more lines with higher numbers there (and regulate line spacing with line-spacing, currently set to 2.
  • 1. This seems to do the trick. Many thanks!
    2. When exported to word, It's now correct with 1 line space. This seems to be a problem with Google doc, but doesn't really matter because it will anyhow be exported to word.

    Thank you so much!
