Missing delimiters in citation

PaulSherwood
I am trying to format the in-line citations as superscripted numbers separated by commas.

The attached CSL entry produces superscripted numbers but no commas (making it impossible to distinguish refs 1 & 2 from ref 12).
I am using MS word 2010.


<citation collapse="citation-number">
<sort>
<key variable="citation-number"/>
</sort>
<layout delimiter=", " vertical-align="sup">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
</citation>

Any help would be appreciated. I have also tried putting the delimiter as part of the text element, with the same result.

thanks!

    that should work.
    you realize that you need to enter those as multiple source citations?
    http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#citations_with_multiple_cited_items

    Different from endnote, Zotero does not merge adjacent citations.

    Thanks very much, that was it! I had misunderstood how to enter multiple citations.
    A follow up question, arising from the need to update my document to contain multiple citations. Is it possible to turn a single citation to a multiple one using the word plugin? (it seemed to be necessary to replace the citation completely).

    unfortunately, currently you need to replace the citation.
    We should probably come up with a merge utility - Mendeley has one, e.g. - but that doesn't currently exist.

    Thanks Adam. I think having an auto-merge would make sense too (maybe with an option to switch it off, although I can't see offhand why one would want to do that).
