Numeric CSL which includes page numbers in text citations?

jacob_peacock
I'm looking for a numeric CSL which includes page numbers in the in-text citations. For example, I'd like citations to appear as "[p10 1]" indicating page 10 in the first source. Does anyone know of a CSL matching this format?

    Probably the easier way to go about this is to tell us a style that fits generally well for you and we tell you how to edit it accordingly. Not much of an effort to do.

    While there are a couple of numeric CSLs using page numbers (IEEE and AMA come to mind), they all would put the page number after the number, so you're indeed likely best of modifying a style that you like otherwise. This is only 4 additional lines of code that's easy to insert.

    Thank you both for your help—I tried both IEEE and AMA 11th Ed but didn't get page numbers in either case. After the citation "[1 p10]" would be fine too. Would definitely welcome guidance on editing, for example, "elsevier-with-titles.csl" to suit my needs.

    Adding any locator (page, chapter, etc.) can be done in Word (assuming that's what you're using) by clicking on the citation which opens a new bubble where you can enter the locator and also a pre-/suffix. IEEE and AMA will show something. If you're not getting anything you're not doing it correctly.

    See "Customizing Cites" here: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage

    To edit the elsevier-with-titles.csl replace the "layout" part of the "citation" section with this (lines 85...):
    <layout prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter=",">
    <group>
    <label variable="locator" form="short" strip-periods="true"/>
    <text variable="locator"/>
    </group>
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <text variable="citation-number"/>
    </group>
    </layout>
