not a valid CSL 1.0.1 style file
I lightly modified Elsevier-Chicago style, and passed in through Zotero's CSL validator, but when I try to connect it to my .doc, I get an error message that it is "not a valid CSL 1.0.1 style file", and it does not load. (Mac OSX 10.11.6, Word 16.16.27, Zotero 5.0.96.1)

How did you modify and save the file?
[script tag removed — D.S.]
Two answers to your ambiguous :-) question:
1) I edited the file in Zotero, as per:
https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
2) The changes I made were to:
remove the comma in the delimiter , line 214
to italicize titles, line 123
I think that's all.
Thanks,
Naomi

Or something along those lines (doesn't matter as long as they don't exist on zotero.org/style and don't have invalid characters)
Edit: that's without the semicolons -- those somehow get added by the forum. @dstillman -- any idea what's going on there? Seems to happy to a number of people but not quite reliably.
