Automatic abbreviations lists

cumuluss · April 4, 2013

Is it possible to change the list? I need the abbreviations without dots. I was using the plugin from Fbennet and it worked great for me.

You can edit the style and use the strip-period attribute (I'm not completely sure this will work though but you should try):

(you can also use the visual editor to edit the style - that's probably easier)

If you really need to change the abbreviations list, see Simon's message: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/28634/how-to-turn-onoff-automatic-journal-abbrevation/#Item_19

Thanks Gracile
the strip-periods attribute is working.

which style is this - should we correct this generally?

cumuluss · April 4, 2013

The style is "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
If it is possible. It would be nice if it is not necessary to change the style code for this.

I'll take a look.

fixed on the repository together with some other fixes for the style.

Thanks! But, does it mean that it has to be implemented in each style which needs the abbreviation without dots?

adamsmith · April 7, 2013

yes - that's the point of having the strip-periods option and having periods in the abbreviation list.
