Upgrade Storagesearching to create a simple style
For a specific use for a searcher from my Institution, I try to create a very very simple style :
Article title. Author*. DOI
I did not find in https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/, I am a recent user of style modifications in this base.
I found the style I would want to reduce, for example : National Institute of Health Research.
I did not find how to change the order...Title first and not author first
* The searcher want an other specificity for "Author", he would want to have the 2 first authors and the 2 last authors.
For the moment, I know how to do to select only the first author or the 2 first authors but no more for the last one.
Is it possible to do all that changes ?
Thank you a lot for your advices.

But replace the whole "bibliography" section with this and that will get you want you describe above.
<bibliography entry-spacing="0" second-field-align="flush" et-al-min="7" et-al-use-first="6"><layout suffix=".">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
<group delimiter=". ">
<text variable="title" font-style="normal"/>
<text macro="author"/>
<text variable="DOI" prefix="https://doi.org/"; />
</group>
</layout>
</bibliography>

I tried this morning to do what you suggest, for this moment it is not successful but I am hopeful. I understood what to do but when I go to the CSL validator, I have this message error :

I have done jpg files of the style I created with the modifications, there are 5 files

If you see what I can do, thank you in advance. If you cannot, I will try to understand the problem.
Best regards.

Dear Adam, thank you for your answer, I did my best to use Pasterbin but even after creating an account I did no succeed to past my modified style. I used an other "paleolithic" method and here are the 2 files of the style code with line numbers

Thank you again.

(Somehow that stems from my code above, although it's not there when editing my post.)
Thank you very much again and again for your help.
Best regards.
