Make an author-date style into numeric (ABNT)

Hello, everyone.

I would like to know if it is possible to edit the XML code of an author-date CSL and change the citation style to numeric, and how to do so.

More specifically, I would like to do a numeric CSL for Abnt ("Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas"), the standard in Brazilian academia; and although ABNT explicitly allows for numeric citations, there is not a single CSL for it.

Coul someone please give me information on how to make the modification? Thanks.

  • Yes, it's pretty easy.
    The other way round not so much.

    You'll need to do 2 things.
    Set the style to numeric. That's in the "info" section up top and will currently say "author-date".

    Then you can take a numeric style you like and overwrite everything in the section called "citation".
