Hi! I try ty make csl styles. And I have a litle problem.

If more then 3 authors

Title / First_Author [et al.]

If less

First_Author / Title / All_Authors

How can I do this?

<bibliography et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="1">
...

<group delimiter="&#160;/&#160;">
    <text macro="author"/>
    <text variable="title"/>
    <text macro="author"/>
</group>

<macro name="author">
    <names variable="author">
        <name initialize-with="."/>
    </names>
</macro>

Hey. Could you post the complete code?

@POBrien333 Hi! My code is here - https://github.com/n-osennij/vak_belarus_2018

Citation example:

1-3 authors

citation

Lind, H. Raman spectroscopy of thin-film silicon on woven polyester / H. Lind, J. Wilson, R. Mather // Physica Status Solidi. A. – 2011. – Vol. 208, № 12. – P. 2765–2771.

structure

Author Title / Author // Publication. – Date. – Volume, Issue. – Pages. No dach between Author and Title

4 and more authors

citation

@rmzelle and @adam3smith as far as I understand one can't actually disambiguate citations with 1-3 or 4+ authors with CSL. Is that correct?

[adam3smith]

That's correct; the above isn't possible in CSL

[POBrien333]

Thanks Adam. In that case, if you really need such a style, the only thing is to unlink the citations in your document and then change them manually afterwards. Laborious and you can't go back then.

@POBrien333 and @adam3smith I found some solution, but not fully understand how it works. Can you help with it? Correct some mistakes?

“suppress-min” and “suppress-max” are not officially part of CSL. They are part of the extended version of CSL used by the Juris-M program. Zotero and Juris-M use the same citation processor, so a style using them should work, but such a style won’t be accepted on the repository here.

[n-osennij]

@bwiernik ok. I see. But how can I solve my problem using official parts of CSL?

[bwiernik]

As @adam3smith says above, it is not possible.
