Upgrade StorageStyle request: "Climate Law"
We are two librarians that try to code a style for Climate Law. We have problem to code "Hereinafter" and Subsequent References". Is this possible with XML or the visual style editor? Is there a specific method that we can use? The closest style we could find is https://www.zotero.org/styles/oscola?source=1 and we try to modify this. But as we understand, it is a lot of conditions in Hereinafter and Subsequent References that can be complicated, maybe impossible? I copy and paste the section from "Instructions for Authors" that we need help with:
‘Hereinafter’ and Subsequent References
− Non-author sources: If the name of a source is short, it may be left unchanged in all footnotes.
If it is long, a shortened version of the name in italics should be provided in round brackets at
the end of the first citation, introduced by ‘hereinafter’. This short term should be used in all
subsequent references to the source.
− A footnote for a subsequent reference should contain the abbreviated term for the source, a
cross-referencing signal (supra or ibid.), the number of the footnote in which the source’s full
citation is found, and if required, a pinpoint reference.
− Example:
1
Reference re. Education Act of Ontario and Minority Language Education Rights (1984), 47
O.R. (2d) 1 (Ont. C.A.) (hereinafter Ontario Reference).
32 Ontario Reference, supra note 1, at 13.
33 Ibid., at 16.
− Sources identified by author name: For subsequent references use the author’s last name in
roman text. If several works by the same author have been cited in the manuscript, it will be
necessary to use a shortened form of the work’s title in addition to the author’s last name. In
other respects, the same pattern illustrated above should be applied.
− Examples:
1 Daniel Bodansky, The Art and Craft of International Environmental Law (Cambridge, MA:
Harvard University Press, 2010), ch. 10.
32 Bodansky, supra note 1, at 13.
33 Ibid., at 16.
− Use the same pattern for a pair of authors but where there are three or more authors, name
the first author only and use ‘et al.’ to indicate the others. (Hare et al., supra note 15, at 100-1.)
− For Chinese names, the family name is always first, and the given name should not be omitted
(Hu Bin et al., supra note 15, at 100-1)."

1. You can test for the existence of a short title (if variable="title-short") and then add it to the first citation if there's not author, but that will always appear, even if there's no subsequent mention.
2. You can similarly determine whether "a non-author source is long" by the existence of title-short
Everything else is standard and roughly as it is in OSCOLA, so if you have any trouble with that, you'd have to be more specific.
