Help with tweaking Nature style: reference list

Dear list members,

I would like to tweak the way the reference list is displayed with the Nature style:

1) no title to appear
2) 10-point font by default
3) consecutive entries not split by carriage return, but simply a space.
4) ID number to appear in bold characters.

The idea is to greatly reduce space needed for the reference list.

Any help would be much appreciated.
  • For 1 and 4 -
    first see here
    http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits

    Then, find the bibliography section of the style which looks like this:

    <layout>
    <text variable="citation-number" suffix="."/>
    <text macro="author"/>
    <text macro="title" prefix=" " suffix=". "/>
    <text variable="container-title" font-style="italic" suffix=" " form="short"/>
    ...
    </layout>


    And change it to:
    <layout>
    <text variable="citation-number" suffix="." text-weight="bold"/>
    <text macro="author" suffix=". "/>
    <text variable="container-title" font-style="italic" suffix=" " form="short"/>
    ...
    </layout>

    then follow the directions linked above to get your style back into Zotero.

    2) and 3) aren't currently possible in Zotero 2.0.9. 2) is possible in the 2.1b version by adjusting your "bibliography" style in Word/Ooo. 3) I don't believe is possible at all.
