    initialize-with="." works in general for this.
    We'd have to see the style to say more, share via pastebin.com (no account needed) or another code-sharing platform and link to from here.

    We do have a style for cell: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:cell which looks correct for this.
    We'd need the link to your draft style on pastebin if you still want us to look
