Issues in creating a style

NMonteix

Hi,
I have been working on a citation styles that should match requirements by Oxford UP for a peculiar serie (git://gist.github.com/3187845.git).
Before submitting it, there are a few issues I can't solve:
- in multicitation, it uses commas instead of semicolon to indicate a further article/book of the same author.
- Word (2007) doesn't understand the subsequent-author-substitute option, while in the test panel, it works
- to fit perfectly to the editor's requirement, I would need to use small capitals for author's names in bibliography, but not for 'and' in case of multi authored work, nor for 'ed(s).'
Thanks in advance for any help

1. You mean (Meyer 1999; Smith 1776, 1991)? That's not possible in csl 1.0, though it will be possible in csl 1.0.1:
http://rst.projectfondue.com/api/v1/rst2html/?rst_url=https://raw.github.com/citation-style-language/documentation/master/release-notes-CSL-1.0.1.txt&css_url=http://citation-style-language.github.com/styles/css/screen.css&output_type=html&callback=&document_output=whole&highlight_style=manni#cite-grouping
Zotero can already read csl 1.0.1 so you can use that, though we won't accept it to the repository right now.

2. Most likely an encoding issue - make sure your text editor encodes the style as utf-8

3. http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#name-part-formatting - apply small caps just to the family and given name and the rest will come out right.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer
1. I mean "Allison 2006; 2004; Zevi 1994" instead of "Allison 2006, 2004; Zevi 1994" that I automatically obtain
2. and 3. I will try, thanks

1. ah yes, we changed the default because the comma is more common - same idea, though - you can set the semicolon as the cite-group-delimiter in csl 1.0.1

Ok, so just need to wait for release
Thanks a lot

as I said - you don't need to wait for the release - this will work already in Zotero. CSL 1.0.1 isn't completely finalized, so some things may still change, but this is not among them.
