Institutional / single-field creator

Gracile
I have some trouble with a citation containing an institutional creator(in the UI, single-field author). This was not the case before (I mean I've just refreshed a document written around november 2014).

The item is a Book Section with one author and two editors. One of the editor is a "real" person, the other editor is an institution.
The presence of this institutional creator has an effect on the way both editors are formatted. Is this a recent change in citeproc-js? How to avoid it?

Bibliography:
According to my (custom) style, it should be (and was):
   Doe John, « Une grande aventure », in Laurent Dupuis & Centre d’études et de recherches constitutionnelles (éd.), Colloque du bicentenaire, 2007, p. 32‑36.

But the output is now:
Doe John, « Une grande aventure », in Laurent Dupuis, Centre d’études et de recherches constitutionnelles (éd.), Colloque du bicentenaire, 2007, p. 32‑36.

The delimiter between the editors is a comma (it should be an ampersand). With two "real" editors, the "normal" behaviour applies.


Thanks.

    which style are you testing this with, so we're all looking at the same thing?

    Custom style, as I wrote. But you can reproduce the delimiter issue with American Anthropological Association, APA 6th, Cell, CMS 16th (all version), IEEE, MHRA, MLA 7th, Nature…
    [I've edited my first post btw ; I had reported another issue (about initialization) but it does not concern the bibliography and I can't reproduce it with any of the embedded styles.]

    That's sort of the result of https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/757 and should be fixed in the latest citeproc-js release (anything after 1.0.599). I'm not sure if Frank has a citeproc-js patch plugin available for that version, but if he does, you could test this.

    Ok. Thank you.

    Another issue concerning citations (i.e. not bibliography): not only the delimiter but also the initialization of the editors' given names.

    Should be (and is with "real" creator):
       J. Doe, « Une grande aventure », in L. Dupuis & Centre d’études et de recherches constitutionnelles (éd.), Colloque du Bicentenaire, 2007, p. 37‑46.
    Is:
       J. Doe, « Une grande aventure », in Laurent Dupuis, Centre d’études et de recherches constitutionnelles (éd.), Colloque du Bicentenaire, 2007, p. 37‑46.

    Gracile, can you try the latest Zotero Beta and see if that fixes the issue?
  • Gracile
    Yes, sorry, I had tried this morning the latest beta (commit bcef481) and the issue is fixed. Thank you!
  • aurimas
    Is editor initialization correct as well? I was never able to reproduce the issue you reported for that.
  • Gracile
    Yes, that's correct. FYI, here's my code (pretty classic):
    <macro name="editor">
    <names variable="editor">
    <name and="symbol" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="never" initialize-with=". "/>
    <label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=".)" text-case="lowercase" font-variant="normal"/>
    </names>
    </macro>

    <macro name="editor-bibliography">
    <names variable="editor">
    <name and="symbol" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="never">
    <name-part name="given" font-variant="normal"/><name-part name="family" font-variant="small-caps"/>
    </name>
    <label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=".)" text-case="lowercase" font-variant="normal"/>
    </names>
    </macro>
