[ppiioottrr]

hello everyone.
I'm starting with Bookends. happy till now but have to still decide if write my thesis with Mellel + Bookends or not.
is there a way to import a full style from Zotero?
I have there one well-done, official from my Institute.
if I don't have to prepare it manually it would really easier...

No, sorry. I spent some time on this, but CSL is simply too different from how Bookends handles formatting. Have you tried creating a format? It's very flexible and not difficult. There's a video tutorial about it if you haven't seen it (and another one with exploring more advanced capabilities is planned).

((
mine is quite complicated with small details about articles, editors, more authors, etc.
I've started, yes, but it would be quite longer thing, I suppose...

If you have a problem with a particular aspect of the format you can write to tech support and I'll see if I can help (or tell you it can't be done).

ok thx.
I'll try step by step.

One thing that may (or may not) help is Biblio -> Create Format Catalog. It will generate a text file with examples of all the formats we ship or that you have made. If you find one that is somewhat similar to the one you need you can create new one based on it and edit from there.
