journal abbreviation w and w/o periods
How do I set in csl whether journal abbreviations should have periods or not?
I also want the possibility to have periods only after the abbreviated word for instance "Plant Biol." This is possible in refman where you in your database end the abbreviated words with a period.

<text variable="container-title" prefix=" " form="short" include-period="false"/>
I’m a new user of Zetero (only a couple of months). I’d like to modify a little Vancouver style to match instructions to authors of a specific journal as Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research. In particular, all authors are cited (instead of et al. if more than 6 or 7 authors) and journals are abbreviated without period and in italic. Following the “step by step” instruction to change CSL, I’ve successfully changed to all authors and journal abbreviation in italic. However, I can’t suppress the period in the abbreviation of the journal title. I’ve tried to use [include-period= »false »] in different parts of the style without success. I see that this question is opened since 2009 without solving. Any other suggestion? Thank in advance.
If you still have trouble, post the style to a site like http://gist.github.com and post a link here, so we can see what's going on.

I hope I've done well
Thanks
Zotero won't automatically update to 2.1, because it's not yet released as a final version - if you want to use it, you need to install it manually from zotero.org
your style is now converted to csl 1.0 and in the online repository for 1.0 styles as Sage Vancouver - I also created 4 dependent styles that follow this. Contrary to what you wrote, I re-included the et-als after 7 authors as pers Sage's instructions. I also added strip-period="true" for journal articles.
The style's URL is
