[citeproc-js] second-field-align

aurimas

second-field-align="flush" does not seem to be rendering properly. (Edit: it only seems to affect vancouver-author-date. At least I haven't found another style that's affected by this)

E.g. Vancouver (author-date) style on http://www.zotero.org/styles does not display anything. Inspection of the generate HTML reveals
<div class="csl-left-margin" style="float: left; padding-right: 0.5em; text-align: right; width: 86em;">
Hogue CWV. Structure Databases.
</div>
<div class="csl-right-inline" style="margin: 0 .4em 0 86.5em;">
In: Baxevanis AD, Ouellette BFF, editors. Bioinformatics. 2nd ed. New York, NY: Wiley-Interscience; 2001. p. 83–109.
</div>
Note the width and the left margin sizes: 86em!!

This also renders a huge field in MS Word. (Edit: or two columns, I think depending on the reference you insert)

I think the main point would be that author-date styles shouldn't have second-field-align set. That doesn't make any sense. And if the first field includes a long field (like the "Method and system..." title used in he example) then the weird behavior you're seeing might actually be right.

What is a Vancouver bibliography supposed to look like on the page? Second-field-align with the author and title as the first "field" seems an odd formatting combination. The attribute was meant for use mostly with numeric styles, I think.

aurimas

Good point. I guess the fix is straightforward then. Could you take care of it?

adamsmith

I've already fixed it, just running the test before committing it. I'll grep later to make sure there aren't other examples of this, I had fixed this for the Springer version of this before.

adamsmith

fix is up on the repo.

I grep'ed and all other author-date styles with second-field-align have either a numbered bibliography or an identifier (e.g. din-1505-2-alphanumeric) So this seems to be the odd one out.
