• It's a little strange, on the one side because the "font-variant" attribute is applied, and in the other side because even a "number" element can carry a "text-case" attribute. It's not dramatic for I can type "IV" in the locator field, what would …

• Thanks! I think that more people could use this mechanism if it were better documented: for the while, there are only some hints in the forum and one has to dive into the source code to understand how precisely the normalization mechanism works. …

• I don't see why it would be confusing, because people won't open the scrolling menu of the "Author" field unless they need it...

• Thank you for the link to the thread, which is interesting indeed. I fully understand that one cannot implement series of ad-hoc variables in Zotero and CSL, and what one has to find a solution which the tools we dipose of, which is possible for the…

• Hello ! I hope I'm not too late, but I have a small improvement to request. A a History student I often have to cite sources following the following syntax (here I ignore formatting) : "Name of the source author, Title of the source, Name of the ed…
