Small tweaks to the European Archaeology style - SOLVED

Rebecca Bennett
Hello all,

I need to make two small adjustments to the Harvard (author-date) Eurpoean Archaeology Style to make it fit precisely with our house style. The changes are probably obvious but I am new to this so any advice would be most welcome!

I would like just two authors to show as Smith and Jones, 2009 rather than Smith et al, and for initials to never be used in citations.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can change these attributes in the style?

Thanks for reading!
Rebecca

    See http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits for the basics, and CSL documentation linked to from there.

    Great thank you for your quick reply. All sorted now - I had somehow missed the page you sent and http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles was a bit beyond me!
    cheers,
    Rebecca

    OK almost there but I am still struggling with the the multiple authors citation

    <citation>
    <option name="et-al-min" value="1"/>
    <option name="et-al-use-first" value="2"/>
    <option name="et-al-subsequent-min" value="2"/>
    <option name="et-al-subsequent-use-first" value="true"/>

    which gives
    (Challis, Kokalj et al. 2008)
    (Winterbottom and Dawson 2005)

    but I need the top ref to read Challis et al
    (i.e. if *exactly 2 authors* use "and"
    if more than 2 authors use "et al")

    I have played with all the options but can't get it right so any ideas gratefully received!

    Replace
    <option name="et-al-min" value="1"/>
    <option name="et-al-use-first" value="2"/>
    <option name="et-al-subsequent-min" value="2"/>
    <option name="et-al-subsequent-use-first" value="true"/>
    with
    <option name="et-al-min" value="3"/>
    <option name="et-al-use-first" value="1"/>
