If clauses for: If DOI is entered don't use URL?

Daniel26
Hi,

is there the possibility to define in my Zotero style certain if conditions. I want to only use the DOI, ISSN, or ISBN in my Word bibliography, if I have entered both one of these numbers and a URL in my Zotero library. Or with other words, I only want to use the URL if I don't have the DOI, ISBN or ISSN entered.

Is there a piece of code that can include into my style? If so, your help would be appreciated very much... Thanks
D

    <choose>
    <if variable="DOI ISBN ISSN" match="none">
    <text variable="URL"/>
    </if>
    </choose>

    thanks very much.

    is this also possible, if I have tagged a reference with, lets say "grey literature". Can I tell my style to choose the URL only if my reference item is tagged that way?
    Cheers,
    D

    I also noticed, that if I use that code and I have a page number in the reference it also won't show the URL.

    that's a Zotero setting (it can be toggled under Cite-->Styles in the preferences

    no. Tags aren't accessible in citation styles at all and more generally you cannot test for the content of a variable
