Footnotes with no line breaks

Hi,

I modified the Chicago Manual (notes) style, but I still do not have the output I want. Maybe I simply do not use the footnotes the way they should be used...


The current output in Word is:

In text citation (numbers are superscript):
Blah blah1, more blah blah2.

Footnote:
1 J Doe et al. 2011, Journal of Whatever 99:100-110.
2 X Man et al. 2015, Another Journal 9:10-11; W Woman et al. 2016, Yet Another Journal 1:1-10.


What I really want is:

In text citation (numbers are superscript):
Blah blah1, more blah blah2,3.

Footnote:
1. J Doe et al. 2011, Journal of Whatever 99:100-110; 2. X Man et al. 2015, Another Journal 9:10-11; 3. W Woman et al. 2016, Yet Another Journal 1:1-10.


Is that even possible? Or do I need to use a style with in-text class, generate a bibliography, remove manually the line breaks (well, a tip to not have any line break in the bibliography would be great!), and then painfully copy-paste the relevant references in the footnotes?

Thanks in advance!
  • That's not possible (Word's footnote function doesn't allow this, so there's no way Zotero would be able to do this).

    No way to get a bibliography without linebreaks, either -- that one isn't a Word limitation, but bibliographies without line breaks between items don't really exist, so it's not available in CSL. Sorry.

    It does seem to me that using a numeric style and then at the very end transferring the bibliography into the page footers (probably not actual footnotes, because those impose their own numbering) is the way to go.
  • Thanks for the super quick reply adamsmith! I will do as you suggest, i.e. transfer the bibliography into the page footers.
