Thank you!
  • @jacobeiserman
    Can you upload a new example article? their guidelines don't give me much to work with.
  • emailed you one from the last issue
  • Hi, thanks so much for your help. I wouldn't even know where to start with this csl editing. I noticed a few things; I'll just paste examples in below from my test bibliography:

    (book)
    Billig, Michael. 1995. Banal Nationalism: London: Sage.
    -book title should be followed by a period rather than a colon

    Anderson, Benedict. 2006. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. New edition: Verso Books.
    -"edition" should be followed by period rather than comma

    (book chapter)
    Daughtry, J. Martin. 2005. “Russia’s New Anthem and the Negotiation of National Identity.” In Ethnomusicology: A Contemporary Reader, edited by Jennifer C. Post, 1 edition: New York: Routledge.
    Duara, Prasenjit. 1996. “Historicizing National Identity, or Who Imagines What and When.” In Becoming National: A Reader, edited by Geoff Eley and Ronald Grigor Suny, 150–77: Oxford: Oxford University Press.
    -similarly, in these cases "edition" or page numbers should be followed by a period rather than colon

    (report)
    GNTA (Georgian National Tourism Administration). 2013. “Georgian Tourism in Figures: Structure & Industry Data:” Tbilisi: Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia.
    -there is a colon rather than a period at the end of the title of the report. I actually tested a few other reports and this didn't happen so I'm not sure what's going on. The citation in my zotero standalone library looks correct.

    (multiple items by single author)
    Turino, Thomas. 2000. Nationalists, Cosmopolitans, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe: Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
    ���. 2008. Music as Social Life: The Politics of Participation. Pap/Com edition: Chicago: University Of Chicago Press.
    -the second book came up with these symbols rather than the dashes that should have been there. Not sure if this a compatibility issue? (I'm using LibreOffice)
  • the second book came up with these symbols rather than the dashes that should have been there.
    Have you tried a different font? It'd be odd, but it's possible yours doesn't have em dashes.
  • It's the same in Liberation Serif or Times New Roman. Or basically anything.
  • Can you try in a fresh document?
  • Pretty certain this is not a problem with the style, in any case, so I'd ignore this for now.
  • It's the same in fresh documents. Maybe I'll try to reinstall libreoffice or zotero if you don't think it's a style issue. Are the other issues easier to fix?
  • edited April 1, 2017
    Let's fix the other issues, have you install the style from the repository, then see if this persists and troubleshoot it separately. Yes, the other issues should be easier.
  • You mean the colon after the "data"? That is indeed weird, don't think it has something to do with the CSL.
    Try this and let us know: https://github.com/damnation333/styles/blob/c576e9faa72b9ca8ee95e56639ef938ff1ead11f/ethnomusicology.csl
  • Looks like that caught everything, including that weird misplaced colon. Thanks so much for your help! Still getting that weird ��� error but I can work around that pretty easily.
  • We'll have the style appearing on zotero.org/styles shortly -- once it's up, please install from there, see if that fixes the ??? issue.
  • Yup, no more error. Mega thanks for this!
  • cool, I pretty much expected that -- somehow character encoding got messed up when you installed it previously.
