sorry, we can't fulfil custom style requests, but have a look at the visual editor: http://editor.citationstyles.org/about/
especially for small changes you should be able to do this yourself.

rewa

ok thanks, hope I will

hello, I'm trying to get on in the editor, but i can't find the way to change the sign between authors resp. editors, which i want to put to "/". with editors, it seems that i can only choose "&". with authors, i don't even find the ";" that i see in the citation. could you help me locate this?

adamsmith

it's set as a "delimiter" on the name node (you can click on parts of the citation on the top right and then see the nodes on the left). If you never want the ampersand (&), you'll also have to set "and" to an empty string - i.e. neither text nor symbol.

rewa

sorry, but I still don't see the sign ";" in the nodes. and if I write "/" in the field "delimiter" nothing happens (whereas in "affix" or "suffix" the sign appears, but of cours not in the place i want it to be). is there perhaps a conditional node "2 or more authors" which i overlook?

adamsmith

make sure you're looking at "name" and not at "names" (the former is one level below the latter)

rewa

yes i do

rewa

here is the chain:
Layout > Conditional > Else > complete-reference (macro) > author-or-editor (macro) > Conditional > If author > Names > Name

adamsmith

sorry, there's something odd in the style that seems to throw this off.
click on "Inline Citation" and "Bibliography" on the left and change "and" to a blank line. That should do it.

rewa

great, now it works, tänx!

rewa

ok, got 2 other things.
- can I change the order of this: 7 (03), März 2012, to 7(2012), (03)?
- between title and subtitle, there is often a ":". is it changeable to a "."?

adamsmith

No on changing the subtitle delimiter - CSL/Zotero just print the text field.

changing date/volume/issue is possible, but it does involve dragging around a lot of macros - you'll have to play with this a bit. Given you the play-by-play would take too long.
