Hi everybody,

I tried to write a style for German law citations (notes without bibliographie). Works fine in the reference test pane and is validated in validator.nu. If I open the csl-file with firefox, he asks me if I want to install it, but if I klick ok, it doesn't appear in my styles list. Same via style tab in zotero: install?=> ok => doesn't appear.

I noted that when I open it with FF, there's a grey bar on top saying something like "no style information in this document", and the first line of the file (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) is missing.

Can anybody help? Thanks a lot! J

This is the file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" class="note" xml:lang="en">
