√ [MLZ] "institution" of Report is not tied to the Publisher field of CSL-m

wonblee
I've tried this across different citation styles, but it doesn't look like the "institution" field of a Report item is tied to the Publisher field of CSL-m. The "Publisher" outputs nothing even when the "institution" of a Report item is filled.

    It's mapped to CSL-m "authority", which renders as an institution name.

    I see. The MLZ handbook wrongly says on p.77 that it's mapped to CSL-m "publisher".

    cs:text variable="authority" doesn't render the institution either. Am I missing something?

    @fbennett,

    I know you're very busy, but do you have rough timeline as to when you can get around to this? I have to decide between waiting for your revision and manually editing the cites in my manuscript.

    Sorry for the delay. I seem to have a break in the action this evening.

    Which style are you using? In MLZ CMS Full Note, the institution renders from the CSL-m authority variable, but it only comes through if there is no other author for the item.

    So there is no underlying bug, this just needs an adjustment to the style. Can you post a cite form as it should appear in the document?

    I'm using my own style. Yes, the reference has both an author and an institution.

    Here is the citation format that I need:
    John R. Thomas, Follow-on Biologics (Congressional Research Service, 2009)

    And this is the snippet from the style that I'm using: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8418522 (It has cs:text variable="authority" in it.)
  • fbennett
    It renders as a name, so try something like this, instead of the cs:text node:
    <names variable="authority">
    <name and="text" delimiter=", " sort-separator=", "/>
    <institution form="long" reverse-order="true"/>
    </names>

    Formatting controls for institution names are documented here.

    Oops.. That worked! Thanks!

    @fbennett,

    When you can get around to it, could you also amend your helpful web page on MLZ-to-CSL mapping for posterity's sake? It maps "institution" to "publisher" for the report type. I got tripped up again.
