Problem installing validated new style

BarilG
I edited the style France (tous les auteurs, numérotation) in a work version that would be functional until I get time to complete the project.
When I submit this version to csl.validator.js I get the "Validation successful" message, but when I try to install it in Zotero the installation fails.
What can I do to find the error in the code?
  • RintzeRintze
    Paste the style code at https://gist.github.com/ , make a public gist and give us the link, and we'll take a look.
  • BarilG
    The link to the public gist:
    https://gist.github.com/2868998

    I previously installed the code with "fr-CA" as default locale, but then the French caracters dit not appear. That is why I specified "fr-FR" as default locale in this last version.

    Thanks for your help.

    That style looks okay. What kind of error do you see when you try installing it? Did you save it as a plain text file with a ".csl" extension?
  • BarilG
    Yes, I used the Notepad for editing and save with a csl extension.
    With the Style manager nothing happens when I try to install the style. When I drag the file to an open Firefox window I get the message: "Erreur d'analyse XML : mal formé", and there is an arrow pointing at the first "é" in the summary of the code.
  • BarilG
    Okay, It is now installed! There was a previous version of the style in the Style manager and I had to delete that one before installing the new. That updating was failing.

    Thank you very much for confirming the validation.
  • BarilG
    Something else. I don't understand why some French caracters, ex. "«" "»" don't appear while some others appear in the bibliography. Also, the "é" appears in general, but not in the access modified term: "(consulté le)".
    Could you see what's wrong?

    My guess would be that this is rather a problem with your word processor or the font you're using. Zotero/csl does create those (and displays them in the test panel).

    It's also possible that your style isn't being saved as UTF-8. If you "Save As..." I think there should be an encoding option in the save window.
  • BarilG
    Problem solved. The file was ANSI encoded. All is okay when saved as UTF-8.

    Thank you to both of you.
