New style to be uploaded to repository

yo_matt
Hi:

I have created a new style: american-chemical-society-with-titles-cite-style-2.csl that I would like to have uploaded to the repository. The gist link is here: https://gist.github.com/874852

This style is different from the existing american-chemical-society-with-titles.csl style in that it uses italicized numerical citations with the number in brackets rather than superscripts. As well, the webpage type has been added with proper access date formatting and the report type has been separately formatted to include the number variable.

Finally, this new style ("...-cite-style-2.csl") should become the parent for Environmental Science & Technology (which currently points to the existing american-chemical-society-with-titles.csl style that isn't actually correct for ES&T) as detailed in http://pubs.acs.org/userimages/ContentEditor/1246030496632/chapter14.pdf.

Thanks!
Matt

    thanks - I'll get to this asap

    For the csl 1.0 people - do 1.0 styles require a <link ... rel="self"
    line?
  • yo_matt
    Thanks adamsmith.

    And sorry about the missing line, I forgot to add it before uploading, I'm guessing by convention it should probably include:
    <link href="http://www.zotero.org/styles/american-chemical-society-with-titles-cite-style-2.csl" rel="self"/>
    although it works fine in Mendeley without!

    Cheers,
    Matt

    @adamsmith: it's preferably, but not required. Having a resolvable URL to the style itself could be used to enable automatic style updating. (these URLs are likely to change, as it looks like the distribution of CSL 1.0 styles will be via github.com, but the details still need to be worked out)
  • adamsmith
    that's what I thought - I'll make sure it stays in there then - I'd figure once the address changes a find and replace can take care of this with relative ease
  • adamsmith
    OK it's on the github repository - I doubt if the dependency will work at this point, though.

    It's generally not a good idea to tie formatting too closely to type, particularly to a vague one like "webpage." My suggestion is to have an access macro that's tied to the presence of a URL (and, if you like, access date; there are issues with some translators that are too liberal in filling the URL field), and to add that to the default template.
