Upgrade StorageInitial for Last name
Hello guys,
Had been using Zotero for some time and find it cool :).However I am new to CSL and XML. I have a problem on citation for the author. My citation style requires me to cite the Last name's intial
If the first author name is
Sim, Shanlee
Other Authors:
Lancolm, Matthew
Krauss, David
If only one author, use the first two alphabet of the author - [Si10]
If two authors, use the last name initial first and second author - [SL10]
If more than two authors - [SL+10]
There should be no empty space between the alphabets.
I tried using form="short" for the author's name but this returns me the whole Last name. Is it possible for me to "slice" the first and second alphabets from Last name? I am sorry if this had been discussed somewhere before.
Thank you for your help!
