compound name with hyphen

Hi,
I'd like to create a style that would do that "J.-.L", I've read in the documentation that the possibility to initialize a name with an hyphen is not likes to cs: name but to cs: style. I've tried many ways but it's still not working.
Here is what I wrote in the local part :
<locale xml:lang="fr">
<terms>
<term name="editor" form="short">
<single>dir</single>
<multiple>dir</multiple>
</term>
</terms>
<style>
<name variable="author" initialize-with-hyphen="true">
</name>
</style>
</locale>
What Am I doing wrong ???
Thanks for your help
Benedicte
  • You need to set the initialize-with-hyphen attribute on the root cs:style element. You cannot use it within cs:locale (or anywhere else).

    <style class="in-text" default-locale="fr" version="1.0" demote-non-dropping-particle="sort-only" initialize-with-hyphen="true">

    But as the default value is set to "true", you don't need to add it to your style explicitly. cf: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#hyphenation-of-initialized-names

    Actually, I suspect you forgot to add initialize-with=". " in cs:name (cf: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#name), e.g.:
    <name form="long" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="never" sort-separator=" " initialize-with=". " and="symbol" font-variant="small-caps"/>
  • No I didn't forget "initialize-with" :)
    But it's still not working. I get "J.D.". I dont'get it !!! I'm sure it's a silly little detail but i do not see it. Here is part of my style
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" class="in-text" default-locale="fr" version="1.0" demote-non-dropping-particle="sort-only" initialize-with-hyphen="true" >

  • @Benedicte MACGREGOR,

    This will definitely work. Please paste the code of your style to http://gist.github.com, save it as a public gist, and post the url from the address bar back here. We'll take a look.
  • Here it is :
    git://gist.github.com/3187018.git

    Thanks for your help !
  • This works for me too!
    I get "J.-L." when "Jean-Luc" is entered as given name in zotero. Check your zotero field.
  • The style works fine for me too, I get a hyphen in the output if there is a hyphen in the input.
  • Back from holiday today, I see now that it's working (I clearly needed to rest). Thanks a lot !!!
