Request debug on modified RSC style

srk
edited December 4, 2022
Hello,
I've made a modified Royal Society of Chemistry style that includes support for the 'software' type. For some reason I can't get validator.citationstyles.org to return a result - it keeps telling me the checker may be down. Could someone here take a look? Currently Zotero will not let me import it. How can I upload it here?

    The csl could be validated at https://validator.citationstyles.org/

    edited December 4, 2022
    Some ; should be replaced with whitespace.
    There is no term issued
    And <choose> </choose> pairs should be added before <if> and after </else>.

    Thanks johnmy!

    Can you try that one? The validator times out when I upload the CSL file there for checking.
  • johnmy
    edited December 4, 2022
    You could paste as text instead of uploading csl file in that url.
  • srk
    Tried that, still got a timeout
  • johnmy
    ; are still in your code.
  • srk
    Those were in the original style.
    Many thanks for your help!

    There is no ; .
  • adamsmith
    (the ; are inserted by the forums in some cases. No idea what's going on, but very little likely they weren't the actual problem with the style)
