[Bug] Validating variable="authority"

adamsmith

so several styles in the repository appear as invalid, because they use variable="authority". (e.g. apsa/dev and ametsoc/dev australian legal, a bunch of Chicagos)

It's not part of the schema at
http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/tags/0.8/csl.rnc
(weirdly enough it's part of the schema i downloaded at some point for emacs validation - that one contains:
## issuing authority (for patents) or judicial authority (such as court
## for legal cases)
"authority"
)
Anyway - the variable is a) necessary and b) works fine - so it should validate.
I guess that means updating the schema?
I'm a bit clueless as to the mechanics here, that's why I'm posting here and not over at xbiblio

This issue is now being discussed on the xbiblio list:

thanks for the update - looks like this will happen soon.

The 0.8.1 release of the CSL schema (http://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/csl-schema/src/83f9cf9b53bd/) adds the "linguistics" category term, the "submitted" date variable, "authority" variable and "number-of-pages" variable.

If Dan could update the schema link used for validation to http://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/csl-schema/raw/83f9cf9b53bd/csl.rnc, quite a few more styles in the style repository will be marked as valid.

Done.

It looks like "linguistics" already existed on 0.8, but "submitted", "authority", and "number-of-pages" are now valid.

The CSL 0.8 schema in the xbiblio SVN was previously updated* to include the "linguistics" category term but at that time did not receive a new version number.

The new Bitbucket repository (http://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/csl-schema/) holds the original CSL 0.8 schema without the "linguistics" category term.

wonderful - almost no red left in the repository. Does anyone have an idea what's wrong with the only remaining style marked as invalid - Nature Neuroscience Short Communication?
It validates fine for me with both validator and emacs-nxml

My guess would be that the spaces in the id and/or link elements are giving problems.

ah yes, good thought, I fixed that.

edit: yep, that was it - all styles in the repository are valid now.
