Custom style issues

dickson3748
Hi everybody.

I'm finding Zotero really useful, but I'm having a few problems with setting up a custom style. I used the Simple Style Generator, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to xml, so I was wondering if anybody could help me sort these issues out - http://gist.github.com/126531.

* Get rid of the full stop after et al in citations within the text

* Get "and" in between two authors in citations within the text

* Working out how to get the Author's names and initials to appear in this format:

Gray R, Henderson J. 2006. Review of the fetal effects of prenatal alcohol exposure. Report to the Department of Health. Oxford: National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU), University of Oxford.

* Get the Author's initials to appear in a reference for a book chapter

*Get the editors names included in a reference for a book chapter

*Get the URL to appear in the reflist

Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, the style generator is not so great. It would probably be quicker/easier to use the normal process for requesting a style. E.g., first find the existing style that is closest to what you need, and then tell us precisely what you need changed.

    Thanks. I didn't realise there was a place I could do that. Thanks again.

    Hello again!

    Would anybody be able to suggest a Harvard variant that's suited to reading online, ie, with as little punctuation as possible?

    Thanks
