Can CSL handle these?

  1. Some styles prefer “University Press”, some “Univ Pr” (or some such),
    others “UP”. Can substitutions like this be specified? ( is
    for something else, isn’t it?)

  2. I see that the American Anthropological Association species a style with
    nested hanging indents.

Not ATM.

Yes.

This is basically a group-by-author list. So the grouping configuration
per se is supported (or at least was; have not checked with latest
draft), even if nobody’s implemented it yet :wink:

I’m not sure if the indenting is supported though.

If people think it a good idea to add this stuff and can suggest a clean
way to do it, I’m open to that.

FYI. Today I came across two books that use nested hanging indents in the bibliographies, both published by Cambridge (1990 and 1998). They differ some from the AAA style.

From one:

Drabkin, I. E. (1) (with M. R. Cohen), A Sourcebook in Greek Science,
New York, 1948
(2) ‘Notes on the Laws of Motion in Aristotle’, _American Journal of
Philosophy, lix [in small caps] (1938), 60-84

A typical citation is (Drabkin (1), p. 34). Note also the “(with M. R. Cohen)”.

The other:

Grant, Edward. “The Principle of the Impenetrability of Bodies in the History of
Concepts of Separate Space from the Middle Ages to the Seventeenth Cen-
Tury.” ISIS 69 (1978): 551-571.
Much Ado About Nothing: Theories of Space and Vacuum from the Middle Ages to the
Scientific Revolution. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981.
ed. A Source Book in Medieval Science. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1974.

Note also “ed.” at the beginning of the third entry.
