Citation Style for the American Journal of Archaeology

konstantinos_29

I have created a Citation Style for the American Journal of Archaeology (http://www.ajaonline.org/index.php?ptype=page&pid=5),which is one of the most important journals of archaeology world-wide.

I would like to upload this code, so I have tested it as good as I could, but but since I am new with CSL I think it would be better to have it first checked also by others. If there are no errors, then it can be uploaded.

I checked your style with RNV (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles), and there were some small errors:

- the formatting of the date when the style is updated wasn't formatted correctly ("<updated>2009-1-9</updated>"). Instead, you can just leave it empty (like "<updated></updated>"). When a style is added to the Style repository, this date is automatically added.

- in the title macro, you add a prefix and suffix specifying double opening and closing quotes ("<text variable="title" prefix="“" suffix=".” " />". You should just enable quotes instead (the double quotes are invalid characters in XML):
"<text variable="title" prefix="" suffix=". " quotes="true"/>"
An alternative would be to use escape characters for the quotes:
"<text variable="title" prefix="“" suffix=".” " />"
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/quotes-in-html.html

- in the locators macro, the following line is incorrect: "<text variable="volume" font-style="italic" form="verb-short" prefix=" " suffix=""/>". The form of the variable volume can only be "short" or "long" (as there is no verb-version).

The corrected version can be found at http://tinypaste.com/be470

Just a reminder: those of you working on styles need to validate them. The details of XML matter a lot, and so you really need to be ensuring your files are valid. It also makes things easier for you as you go if you are using a validating editor like emacs nxml mode, or oXygen.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

I have tried to register for an account to upload this via SVN (https://www.zotero.org/dev/trac_access) but there is still no answer.
Could someone else upload the above csl for me?

Done.
