Upgrade StorageAuthors' initials in brackets
Hi everyone,
I would like to improve an existing style and put the authors' initials winthin brackets in the bibliography.
I have this :
Alexandre, Planche et Defauconpret (1877) : Alexandre C., Planche M. et Defauconpret C., 1877, Dictionnaire français-grec..., Paris, Hachette.
I want that :
Alexandre, Planche et Defauconpret (1877) : Alexandre (C.), Planche (M.) et Defauconpret (C.), 1877, Dictionnaire français-grec..., Paris, Hachette.
Thank you !
Here are parts of the code :
<macro name="auteurs">
<names variable="author">
<name name-as-sort-order="all" and="text" sort-separator=" " delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="never" initialize-with="." />
<label form="short" prefix=" " suffix="." text-case="lowercase" strip-periods="true"/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<text variable="title"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>
...
<layout>
<text macro="author-short" suffix=" " font-weight="bold"/>
<text macro="year-date" prefix="(" suffix=") : " font-weight="bold"/>
<text macro="auteurs" suffix=","/>
<date variable="issued" prefix=" " suffix=",">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>

You could try experiment if the name-part elements accept prefix and suffix
http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#name-part-formatting
Alternatively, you could try using
sort-separator=" (" and ininitalize-with=".)"
My concern there would be that is messes things up when you have two initials.
sort-separator=" (" and delimiter="), "
But that doesn't work with your delimiter-precedes-last="never"
To ajlon : the style I'm trying to improve is the "traces" one, and I'm trying to make it fit the specs of a French archaeological journal: Documents d'Archeologie Meridionale.
I'll try all your solutions and let you know.
Thanx
