Style Request: University of Luxembourg - History

Hi,

like many others I was searching for the citation style that is used at our university and (like many others) I couldn't find it ;-(. However I found a citation style, which is quite similar: the one of the Historisches Seminar Heidelberg (http://www.zotero.org/styles/universitat-heidelberg-historisches-semina )

To show the differences, between the existing style and the one I want, I thought it would be the easiest thing to write down a list with examples (the things that are written in big letters should be written using small capitals):

Hew STRACHAN, Der Erste Weltkrieg. Eine neue illustrierte Geschichte, 3. Aufl., München, Pantheon, 2009.

That’s it so far. Maybe it would also be great to have an option for archive documents. If needed, I can also provide the citation rules as Word Document.

Thanks a lot in advance.

If there are any questions, feel free to write me. I will do my best to answer as soon as possible.

  • Hi, thanks for the quick answer. I tried today and was able to make quite a lot of the changes I want. I have however a big problem with the following:

    Instead of:
    CULL, Nicolas: Culloden. 1964. In: Mythen der Nationen. Völker im Film, ROTHER, Rainer (Hrsg.): München, Berlin 1998, S. 341–347.

    I need:
    CULL, Nicolas: Culloden. 1964. In: Mythen der Nationen. ROTHER, Rainer (Hrsg.): Völker im Film. München, Berlin 1998, S. 341–347.

    However I don't have any clue how to change the position of the name. Maybe someone can help me on this one?

    Thanks in advance
  • Find this:

    <else-if type="chapter entry-dictionary entry-encyclopedia" match="any">
    <group delimiter="">
    <text variable="title" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=", "/>
    <text value="in" suffix=": " prefix=" "/>
    <text variable="container-title" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=", "/>
    <names variable="editor">
    <name form="long" delimiter="/" delimiter-precedes-last="never" sort-separator=" " font-style="normal" prefix="hrsg. von ">
    <name-part name="family" font-variant="small-caps"/>
    </name>
    </names>
    </group>

    It's in the macro "title".
    Switch around
    <text variable="container-title" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=", "/>
    and everything from
    <names...
    to
    </names>

    In the visual editor you can just drag the "names" node up one in the tree view on the left.
  • Thanks again for the quick answer.

    I'm very sorry, but I don't really get what you mean by "switching around"...
  • switching around as in change the order of.
    Put
    <text variable="container-title" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=", "/>
    after
    </names>
