Abbreviations for authors/editors after second use
Hello everyone,
I couldn't find any information on this:
I'm trying to find out, whether it's possible to use some Kind of abbreviation for the editor or author field content. Körperschaften (body) create books and pamphlets. I have to cite them with the full name and an abbreviation in [ ] the first time. In subsequent cites, I have to use the abbreviation only.
First use: (Kultusministerkonferenz [KMK], 2012, p. 12)
Supsequent use: (KMK, 2012, p. 12)
I thought about doing a wildcard if-clause for sharp brackets... but as there are only match types none, any and all this won't work.
Do you have any ideas?

With those caveats, the documentation on this and other CSL extensions is available here, and the MLZ client is available here. If you try it, be sure to back everything up first and exercise caution, because you'll be on your own. (That said, MLZ is compatible with official Zotero in the database layer, so you can reinstall with the official client at any time, with the same caveats about backing up etc.)
