Help on custom CSL Style syntax

Dear community,

the CSL style "Deutsche Sprache" https://www.zotero.org/styles/deutsche-sprache seems to be the best fit for my bachelor thesis, but I would need authors' names to be initialized at the bottom page references.
I.e. Battmer, Rolf-Dieter (%Year of publication%) -> Battmer, R.-D. (%Year of publication%)
I tried playing around with initialize-with, but I didn't manage the correct syntax.
Also I would like to leave out S. (short for Seite - German: page) in the main text, i.e. "%Author's name% %Year of Publication%, S. %Page number%" -> "%Author's name% %Year of Publication%, %Page number%"

Could you tell me what to copy -> paste into the original csl file?

Thank you very much for any help!
  • 1. Das erste Mal wo
    <name delimiter="/" name-as-sort-order="all"/>
    vorkommt, aendere zu
    <name delimiter="/" name-as-sort-order="all" initialize-with=". "/>

    2. Lösche diese Zeile (zweimal)
    <text term="page" form="symbol"/>
  • 1) Add initialize-with="." into the <name> element on line 30 of the style.

    2) Delete the line <text term="page" form="symbol"/> in the <citation> section of the style (lines 115 and 127).
