New styles ISO 690 on GitHub

laureMEL · November 2, 2011

Hello,
I've submitted 4 styles (author-date EN and FR, numeric EN and FR) based on the ISO-690 norm on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/1333963
Thanks for publishing it in the styles repository.

Thanks! I haven't looked at those in detail, but couldn't they be packed into two styles instead of four? I.e. one numeric one author-date and the differences are dealt with using locales?
Or are there differences between the styles that couldn't be defined in a locales file?

Unfortunately there are some differences that we couldn't manage in a locales file, like the space before ":" in French and not in English. That's why we did 4 styles.

thanks, too bad. One more thing - could you remove the version numbering from the IDs and the filenames? Those don't really make sense (nor are they necessary) in the context of the repository.

I didn't find where I can edit the gist. Is it possible or do I have to create a new gist?
Thanks

never mind then, I'll do it when I upload. There is an edit button on the top left of a gist, but only when it recognizes you as the owner/creator.

thanks, they're up, will show up shortly, preview takes a couple of hours before it wors - I saw that you did manage do edit out the version numbers, thanks. Didn't change anything except the indenting - while I haven't tested this, it looks great.

Does anybody here know whether the IS690 styles discussed in this thread can replace http://www.zotero.org/styles/iso690-author-date ? (see also http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1928/about-iso690-style/)
