Upgrade StorageStyle Request: IBFD Style (International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation)
The IBFD is one of the most relevant organizations for research in tax law of the world. It has a very comprehensive library and also publishes books, journals etc.
I am a PhD candidate from Brazil in the Vienna University for Economics and Business, but spending some time in a research stay here in Amsterdam (HQ of IBFD).
I don't have the slightest knowledge on this topic (creating styles in Zotero), all I know is that it is saving my life so far in my organizing my thesis.
If anyone has some spare time, or have already come across this style, or something similar (check this from their style guide: This IBFD standard is based on the ALWD Citation Manual, and for non-US materials for which the ALWD does not provide examples the Guide to Foreign and International Legal Citations is used), I think it could be a(nother) very nice addition to Zotero.
There is some examples below, but since I lose the formatting the link to their guide is also below> I guess pages 22 and 24 are the most relevant ones...
Guys, either this works out or not, thanks a lot in advance for the time and effort of at least reading until here =)
Cheers and kind regards,

To give an idea of the complexity involved, most CSL styles run about 200 lines of code. The MLZ American Law style (a Bluebook clone, similar to ALWD) currently runs to 2,640 code lines. Someone might come forward to prepare the style on a voluntary basis, but it's more likely to happen if there is a significant (monetary) incentive.
Generally, for legal citations I recommend having a look at the MLZ fork of Zotero:
http://citationstylist.org/
specifically designed for legal sources.
Maybe its developer (fbennett) can be interested in providing an ALWD style. (edit: see above on that, we overlapped)
It's not possible to have mixed citation styles in Zotero, i.e. you can have the footnoted citations in long and short form, but you can't also have what they/you call "textual reference" in the same document.
