Upgrade StorageUnsuperscript Footnote reference number and indent citation in footnote
I'm not sure if what i'm asking for is possible using CSL, but here's what I would like to do. I'm editing the turabian CSL such that the footnote reference number (in office word) would appear unsuperscripted with a dot and space and the whole footnote should be indented. I've been using word macros for that but I now need to use CSL only to achieve the same result. This is how I tried to do it:
<citation et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="4" et-al-subsequent-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-names="true">
<layout prefix=" " suffix="." delimiter="; ">
<text variable="citation-number" suffix=". "/>
<choose>
<if position="ibid-with-locator">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</if>
<else-if position="ibid">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else-if>
<else-if position="subsequent">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else-if>
<else>
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-note"/>
<text macro="title-note"/>
<text macro="description-note"/>
<text macro="secondary-contributors-note"/>
<text macro="container-title-note"/>
<text macro="container-contributors-note"/>
</group>
<text macro="locators-note"/>
<text macro="collection-title" prefix=", "/>
<text macro="issue-note"/>
<text macro="locators-newspaper" prefix=", "/>
<text macro="point-locators"/>
<text macro="access-note" prefix=", "/>
</else>
</choose>
</layout>
</citation>
But this doesn't work, as the "citation-number" variable isn't the footnote reference number and the layout prefix spaces aren't displayed in word.
Is there a way I can do this in CSL ?
<citation et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="4" et-al-subsequent-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-names="true">
<layout prefix=" " suffix="." delimiter="; ">
<text variable="citation-number" suffix=". "/>
<choose>
<if position="ibid-with-locator">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</if>
<else-if position="ibid">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else-if>
<else-if position="subsequent">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="title-short"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</else-if>
<else>
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-note"/>
<text macro="title-note"/>
<text macro="description-note"/>
<text macro="secondary-contributors-note"/>
<text macro="container-title-note"/>
<text macro="container-contributors-note"/>
</group>
<text macro="locators-note"/>
<text macro="collection-title" prefix=", "/>
<text macro="issue-note"/>
<text macro="locators-newspaper" prefix=", "/>
<text macro="point-locators"/>
<text macro="access-note" prefix=", "/>
</else>
</choose>
</layout>
</citation>
But this doesn't work, as the "citation-number" variable isn't the footnote reference number and the layout prefix spaces aren't displayed in word.
Is there a way I can do this in CSL ?

fbennettThe formatting of the footnote number is controlled by the word processor. Its formatting can't be controlled through CSL. You should be able to achieve the result your after through the styles settings in Word.

adamsmithIIRC, this is unreasonably hard to do in Word (it's very easy in LibreOffice), but unfortunately that doesn't change the fact that, as fbennett says, the word processor is the only place to change this.
