    Let's make a style for us all to use, based on the McGill Guide, 6th ed.

    The style I posted at http://www.slaw.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/zoteromcgill.txt handles books and articles fairly well, with the exceptions that articles display with a single quotation mark (since the doubles are an XML operator), and that the authors are first-name, last, not the reverse.

    You can generate double-quotes with """, but you probably want to use quotes="true" to get proper quotes anyway.

    Thanks Dan. I'll modify the file and re-post it.

    Some notes for improving this style:

    What I have posted in the CSL tracker (https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/csl/) at
    https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/csl/mcgill-legal.csl
    is very imperfect.

    At the suggestion of Bruce D'Arcus, I have created a description of some of the details of the Canadian form, and provided comparisons with the Bluebook Law Review style Bruce created at

    https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/csl/bluebook-law_review.csl

    Here is a link to the cheatsheet:

    @mlines: would be nice if this "cheatsheet" were HTML ;-)

    And does it include specific issues that lead you to conclude the current style is "very imperfect"?

    I'm new to Zotero.... Using MS Word and the Word integration plugin how can I get this style to output footnotes instead of bracketed numbers highlighted in grey?


    Thank you

    @Seeker51: you need to create a new style. See docs.

    I never did look at this style, BTW. I would have if the document was more accessible (e.g. HTML).

    Unfortunately I'm not really technically inclined and so don't think that I would be able to create the style anew but does this (http://library.queensu.ca/law/lederman/legalcit.htm) include the information you would need?

    There should be a comma after the author's name, not a full stop.

    Hello,

    Because of the age of the thread, I figured that active development here was stopped.

    I've tried to restart the conversation in the Style Requests forum:
    http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/9489/style-request-canadian-uniform-legal-citation-mcgill-guide/#Item_1

    I tried to summarize the state of affairs for the style; if you have any expertise to add or can comment on any omissions I've made, please do so.

    Thanks
