How to upload "Epidémiologie et Santé Animale" style ?

Vincent
I would like to upload a new style for “Epidemiologie et Santé Animale”. I have now a Zotero Trac account but I don’t understand how to go further despite reading some discussions in the forum. (I have never participated to an open source project before). Any help would be appreciated.

    hey - if you want I can upload it for you - put it on gist.github.com and post the address here.

    If you want to do it yourself (and it is kind of fun...) you probably want an SVN frontend. On Windows people use Tortoise SVN, about which Rintze has posted here:

    On Ubuntu Linux I use Nautilus SVN, which works pretty much the same way and integrates nicely with Nautilus. I'm not sure what the Mac solution is, but I'm sure there is one.
    On Mac and Linux SVN also works nicely of the command line if you're so inclined, you'll find plenty of tutorials online.

    Hi,
    My daily achievement was to learn using gist.github.com. I will have fun with Tortoise another day…
    The file url is git://gist.github.com/178557.git
    Thanks for your help

    hey sorry you had trouble with github - I find it very convenient
    give the link as
    http://gist.github.com/178557

    thanks for contributing. Two small glitches:
    <category term="Veterinary medecine"/>
    doesn't work - use
    <category term="medicine">
    instead.

    also:
    <key variable="date"/>
    doesn't work - date is not a variable.
    Use
    <key variable="issued"/>
    instead.

    If you learn how to use
    http://validator.nu/ and validate against
    http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/tags/0.8/csl.rnc?revision=768&view=markup
    that would help you prevent these mini-errors.
    I've corrected them and uploaded your style.

    You have to use this link for the schema:

    http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/tags/0.8/csl.rnc

    The link adamsmith provided links to a html page which the validator won't understand.
  • adamsmith
    sorry & thanks
  • Vincent
    Well...
    I tried to validate another style I’m working with on http://validator.nu/. This style is working well with word.

    1. I pasted the style in “text field”
    2. I pasted http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/tags/0.8/csl.rnc in “schemas”
    3. I validated
    4. I have the message “ IO Error: Non-XML Content-Type: text/plain.”

    Why ?
  • adamsmith
    I think you need to check the "Be lax about html content" box and that should take care of it.
  • Vincent
    Ok, it works better. Nevertheless I have some error messages (see below) about parts of the syntax I didn't modified from the model I used to develop my style (nature journal). Perhaps it’s necessary to choose en option in “Parser”

    yes - this looks like it's parsing html instead of xml - try uploading your csl file instead of pasting in the text field?
    (sorry, I only use validator.nu rarely, so my instructions may not be super precise - if you're going to make a lot of style, you may want to consider using a live-validator such as emacs in nxml mode or Oxygen - I'm very happy with emacs)

  • Vincent
    OK it works with validator.nu choosing the parser "XML dont´t load..."

    I have fixed two little problems in my style and put it at http://gist.github.com/179214

    Could someone upload it for me in the depository ?

    Selecting one of the two XML-options in the Parser drop-down menu does the trick for me. It only seems necessary when using the text field.

    oooh - I love pigs!
    uploaded the style.
    oink.
