Expanded print in contributor names?

Marcin Miłkowski
I want to make the contributor names expanded (like "P l a t o" instead of "Plato"). Is this possible via CSL? I cannot find any attribute that would enable anything like this.

Thanks in advance,
Marcin

    To be more exact, I mean something like CSS letter-spacing:

    no. What is this for?
  • Marcin Miłkowski
    One of the journals I'm submitting a paper to requires that author names are spaced out. I wanted to include this in the CSL but it seems that I will need to use underline and replace underline with expanded print after converting the field codes to text...

    oh well...

    question was which journal - that seems like an odd requirement.

    Ethos, a Polish philosophical journal:

    here are guidelines:

    Scroll to "Format przypisów", it will be clear even if you don't speak Polish.

    thanks - I don't think we'll start supporting this unless it comes up more frequently. This is certainly the first time I've come across this.

    yeah, this is quite rare. I've seen such formatting in print somewhere else (not a Polish one) but I don't remember where.
