Spanish citation style and english browsers

brazuca

I'm not sure I quite understand the concept of the language attribute.

I want to create a citation style that uses the spanish attributes (es-ES), but I want it to respect this regardless of the language of the user's browser. Where do I declare it?

Also, can I modify this (es-ES) if I need to?

Right now I'm using a hack to replace what I need to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" xml:lang="en" class="in-text" >
<info>
<title>aa_test_</title>
<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/null</id>;
<link href="http://www.zotero.org/styles/nukk"/>

<terms>
<locale xml:lang="en">
<term name="editor" form="short"> <single>ed.</single> <multiple>ed.</multiple> </term>
<term name="editor"> <single>ed.</single> <multiple>ed.</multiple> </term>
<term name="et-al">y otros</term>
<term name="and">y</term>
<term name="page" form="short"> <single>p.</single> <multiple>pp.</multiple> </term>
<term name="page"> <single>p.</single> <multiple>pp.</multiple> </term>
<term name="accessed">fecha de consulta</term>

</locale>
</terms>

<macro name="editor">
....
etc

Thanks Rintze. I had seen these. To clarify, do I simply declare the language for my style and it should (when implemented) ignore the Firefox language the user sets?

In the second example:

<terms>
<locale xml:lang="en">
<term name="and">et</term>
</locale>
<locale xml:lang="fr">
<term name="et-al">et al</term>
<term name="in">in</term>
</locale>
</terms>

Is this doing the term replace according to the current language of the user?

And finally, and unrelated: how can I escape a "<" or a ">" character? I need it in the url format for my bibliography but the csl won't validate for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

Here is my problem:

<macro name="access">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text value="[en línea]"/>
<group prefix="[" suffix="]">
<text term="accessed" suffix=": "/>
<date variable="accessed">
<date-part name="day" suffix=" de "/>
<date-part name="month" text-case="lowercase" suffix=" de "/>
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</group>
<group prefix="<" suffix=">"> ***I GET A PARSING ERROR HERE
<text variable="URL"/>
</group>
</group>
</macro>

That's the idea behind default-locale, yes.

Yes, but only for users with English or French locales. A user using the German locale will see German terms. Note that you probably have to use slightly different values for xml:lang, i.e. something out of this list: https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/branches/1.0/chrome.manifest (e.g. "en-US" and "fr-FR")

And finally, and unrelated: how can I escape a "<" or a ">" character?

Check the Modern Humanities Research Association (Note without Bibliography) or Nature styles to see how it's done. Or http://www.theukwebdesigncompany.com/articles/entity-escape-characters.php

Fixed.

I guess I should have RTFM before. I need to use the code for the symbols:

<group prefix="&lt;" suffix="&gt;">
