Upgrade StorageNew Hart's Rules / Oxford Manual of Style / Oxford University
Thanks to the help of adamsmith on this thread:

I've started editing the the MHRA style to fit with New Hart's Rules/Oxford Manual of Style. Both are used by OUP in the UK, and also in numerous departments at Oxford, including History.
The MHRA style is very similar.
Thus far I've removed the doi from appearing, and forced MHRA to produce short titles when a work is cited more than once.
There are three additional things that need doing, and which I would appreciate any help with:
1. The publisher needs to be omitted -- only the place of publication and the date are need.
2. The issue number for journals needs to be added (MHRA doesn't have this) in the form of 3/1 (i.e. vol. 3 issue 1).
This means a reference would read:
1. Claire Taylor Jones, ‘Prelude to the New World: The Role of Voice in Early Pennsylvanian Mysticism’, Eighteenth-Century Studies, 44/2 (2011), 331–43
As opposed to:
Claire Taylor Jones, ‘Prelude to the New World: The Role of Voice in Early Pennsylvanian Mysticism’, Eighteenth-Century Studies, 44 (2011), 331–43
3. The formatting of the page numbers needs changing from:
Claire Taylor Jones, ‘Prelude to the New World: The Role of Voice in Early Pennsylvanian Mysticism’, Eighteenth-Century Studies, 44 (2011), 331–43 (p. 332).
to:
Claire Taylor Jones, ‘Prelude to the New World: The Role of Voice in Early Pennsylvanian Mysticism’, Eighteenth-Century Studies, 44 (2011), 332.
i.e. the parenthesis needs removing and the page range of the journal needs omitting, EXCEPT when the journal is being cited without out a specific page reference in which case it should read:
1. Claire Taylor Jones, ‘Prelude to the New World: The Role of Voice in Early Pennsylvanian Mysticism’, Eighteenth-Century Studies, 44 (2011), 331–43

I'd treat this as a first draft, I'm sure there are remaining issues, which is pretty much unvoidable for a complex style guide unless I spend a lot of time testing. Please report any issues here.
