Converting Bibliographix .style format to use it in Zotero

ffrieman
Hello,
for my thesis I need to use the ciatation style used at our faculty. It is described on several pages in detail but they also provided a .style file for Bibliographix. Is it possible to somehow convert that and use it in Zotero? I figured that it is not possible to easily export it in another format with Bibliographix :-(

    no, there's no way to do that.

    Thanks for the fast reply!

    Since they are also working on a style for Citavi (which I also don't like that much) might there be any possibility of importing it from there?

    And I just looked through all the forms in the repository to search for a citation style using (AAAJJ), meaning 3 characters of author and 2 characters of year. I didn't find anything close to that and when I use the editor I am also not able to prorgam that.

    Is it generally possible or is there no chance to do that anyway and you always have to use the full name of the author?

    Thanks!

    no Citavi style import either - generally it's tricky to import proprietary formats.
    THe style can only be created with a workaround, see here

    (the case described is slightly different, but the same applies)
