Backreferencing references
I have came across a journal whose citation style calls for abbreviated footnotes that refer back to the first footnote, i which the complete bibliographical information is available.
First reference:
16 A. von Harnack, Marcion: Das Evangelium vom fremden Gott: Eine Monographie zur Geschichte der Grundlegung der katholischen Kirche (2nd ed.; TUGAL 45; Leipzig 1924) 60, 95.
Second reference:
21 Harnack, Marcion (see n. 16), 65.
How can this reference back to the first reference be expressed in CSL? Is there a style using something similar?
/Cajo.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
There's a CSL variable first-reference-note-number that lets you do this.
<else-if position="subsequent">
and<text variable="first-reference-note-number" prefix="(n " suffix=")"/>
I should be able to make this style./Cajo.
