Including titles in repeat citations

TStanmore

Apologies if this has already been explained elsewhere, but I haven't found the discussion if it was...

I'm using MHRA (3rd edn) and want to always include a short title in repeat citations (at the moment Zotero's MHRA style only includes surname and page number in repeats). Could anyone tell me how to code this in?

Thanks!

As mentioned in the other thread:

Look for this macro:


<macro name="disambiguate">
<choose>
<if disambiguate="true">
<choose>
<if variable="title" match="none">
<text macro="issued"/>
</if>
<else-if type="bill book graphic legal_case legislation motion_picture report song" match="any">
<text variable="title" font-style="italic" text-case="title" form="short"/>
</else-if>
<else>
<text variable="title" quotes="true" text-case="title" form="short"/>
</else>
</choose>
</if>
</choose>
</macro>


Change it to:



<macro name="disambiguate">
<!--
<choose>
<if disambiguate="true">
-->
<choose>
<if variable="title" match="none">
<text macro="issued"/>
</if>
<else-if type="bill book graphic legal_case legislation motion_picture report song" match="any">
<text variable="title" font-style="italic" text-case="title" form="short"/>
</else-if>
<else>
<text variable="title" quotes="true" text-case="title" form="short"/>
</else>
</choose>
<!--
</if>
</choose>
-->
</macro>


Now you will always have short titles.

Thanks for your help - for whatever reason the code above didn't work, but the code on this page did work:

Hmm, looks like I wanted to be too clever...
@adamsmith @fbennett can't we use html comments with CSL?

@maier.de: That code works fine in a test fixture:
