- name-as-sort-order doesn't have a "none" option. You just leave it out if you want all names in the "natural" order.
- number variables have a form attribute "numeric" (not number) - which is the default so you can leave it out
- you can't set initialize-with on cs:names only on cs:name
It's up to you obviously whether you take the style down or not - which is incidentally pretty much the same style used by the journal Medical History, formerly at UCL http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/228/ but now at Cambridge journals http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=MDH - but I really don't understand the implications of a style not validating.
Anyhow, I may just keep working on it over the next while so that I can teach myself how to write csl to some extent. If I do maybe I'll submit this style in a form that properly validates at some stage in the future.
I'm sorry for monopolising so much time but could you give me some indication of what the error codes mean at the above link - when I go to line 1 column 6 etc as indicated I can't see any obvious problems - not that I would in truth.
1. you need to use the "Raw" link to the file, not the link to the github page for the validator
2. For whatever reason the online validator chokes when there are spaces in the filename, so you'll need to change that before it works, else you'll get and "IO Error: Invalid redirect location:"
once you've done that the errors should be clearer, but feel free to ask if you still have questions - some of them do take soem experience to figure out.
That version just fixes one small error where the volume number of a book was sometimes included in an op. cit. and changes the formatting of a thesis to Medical History norms. No need to update repository style though as I'm bound to find more issues over the next few weeks. Thanks again.

That is, to keep the editors in front of the container-title but place the translators after the container-title except where the identity of the editor and translator is the same and in which case the editor-translator should precede the container-title.
macro name="editor-translator"
if variable="editortranslator"
names variable="editor translator"...
else
names variable="editor"
macro name=translator
if variable="editortranslator" match="none"
names variable="editor"
I'm not 100% sure that testing for editortranslator actually works, though, so test that in a simple set-up first.
I have one question. I'm working on my PhD thesis and it's in Spanish. The insertion of "op.cit." adds a reference to a previous footnote, but it says "note xx" and I'd need it to say "nota xx". Where do I find that in the code to change it?
Thanks,
If you'd want to change other things and want other parts of the style also in Spanish you'd change the locale in line 2 from en-GB to es-ES and go from there (incl. above change).
