Searching for help - Sort order - Bibliographiy

mike.nader

Hi!

I tried a long time to develop my (forced) Style for my dissertation using tha WYSIWYG Editor.

Now I´m nearly finished.

My main problem is the sort order of the bibliography.
It has to be like that:

1) Books (by alphab)
2) electronic docs. (www) (by alphab)

How do I get that?

See http://blogs.eui.eu/zotero/sort-a-bibliography-by-type.html
for the general approach.
It depends how you define an electronic doc - either you can define it by item type (if so see the link) or you can define it by the presence of the URL, in which case you'll want to use <if variable="URL">...
This will probably be easier to do in the code editor (that's part of the WYSIWYG editor) than in the graphical interface.

Thx!

Ok, It worked fine.
Thank you for your help!

Just one Problem left: In that macro you mentioned (sort-key) I cannot choose "bookSection" in the Editor.

That means, the book sections appear below the E-Documents.
The term "bookSection" only exists once in the code: In the sort macro you linked above ( <if type="book bookSection" match="any"> )

Any idea? What would help me?

Solved!

I only changed the sort-macro dividing into 2 Types (webbpage OR Else)

I didn't realize that - it's a mistake in the guide. It should be "chapter" not "bookSection". I'll let the author know

Again :-(

What kind of error leads to the message that the file isn`t a correct CSL 1.0.1 Zitations-file and will not work reliable?

Mike

The CSL language has a well defined syntax. If your style contains a syntax error, you will get that message. You can check the syntax by pasting your style into the online validator here:

More details on style editing are here:

Thank you, the validator was the best tip!
I´ve no experience in programming languages :-(

But I made it!

Me again :-(

My problem: I have to use small caps when I write Names.

Example:

Ahlquist, J.S. and Breunig, C. (2009): etc...

When I use it, the whole "author" macro is in small caps.

Would it be possible to disable it at the word "and"

Thx for your help!

edit: Same Problem here with the Word "(Hrsg)" (german for editor)

<name name-as-sort-order="first" and="text" sort-separator=", " delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always">
<name-part name="given" font-variant="small-caps"/>
<name-part name="family" font-variant="small-caps"/>
</name>

(the first line may vary for your style, but you get the idea).

Thank you for your urgent help, Adam!

I see you have a lot of experience with this tricky thing.
Is it possible to send you a PM?

I´did my best, but I´m afraid, i´m finished.
Maybe we can arrange the conditions of some extendend support ;-)
