German style according to Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag
Hello everyone,
I have discovered zotero only a few weeks ago and am absolutely amazed by how easy it is to understand and to use. Having started my MA dissertation just recently, I am really happy to have this great tool at hand! Everything fine until here. :)
Now here is my problem and subsequently my question: As a German history student, I have the same problem that many German users seem to have: there is no citation style available that really corresponds to the style I've been using until now. I tried to create my own style but failed miserably which is not surprising considering that I have never programmed anything in my life ;)
Now my hope is to find some help in the community!
The style I would like to use is quite simple and commonly used at the history department of my university (Humboldt-Universität Berlin) and I guess of other German history departments as well - so it will definitely be useful for other users, too.
After some research I found out that "my style" corresponds with the style used by Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, for example in their series "Krieg in der Geschichte (KriG)": http://www.schoeningh.de/katalog/reihe/krieg_in_der_geschichte.html
Unfortunately, I couldn't find their citation style guidelines online, until now.
So my question is: Could anyone create a "Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag style" and add it to the zotero style repository? That would be amazing!
What do I need to provide for this? Should I try to find the style guidelines of Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag (by writing them an email for example) or should I simply give examples of how the style should look like?
I have never done this so I'm a bit lost here ;)
Thank you very much in advance!
Looking forwards to your answers!

Style guide etc. in German is fine - no need to add extra notes on how terms translate and so on - I read German.
