  • Didn't get around to testing, nor to posting on xbiblio yet, sorry - but does citeproc-js still implement the "dirty trick" of protecting multi-part last names when they are enclosed in double quotes? (see http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-d…
  • Well, good luck trying to get the Chicago Manual changed then (see CMoS 16e, 15.29). Actually, this issue that has been discussed before: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/38027/style-error-chicago-authordate-collapse/. No solution though, as of…
  • Now I'm a bit confused: Wasn't it because of the APA requirements this thread was started in the first place?
  • As bwiernik mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a list at http://dmazingo.wikispaces.com/Journal+Pagination. One thing to keep in mind is that some journals have changed their policy over time, some even more than once, e.g, from by-volume t…
  • I started testing the new processor gadget. A big thank you, fbennett, but (of course) also a few questions and suggestions:First, is there any reason why Zotero could not copy the new parsing mechanisms, and output parsed names by default itself?Se…
  • Well, CMoS 16e, 8.5 quite clearly lists ‘von Braun’ with a lower-case ‘v’, so, unless CMoS is completely mistaken, ‘von’ can be either dropping or non-dropping, and purely list-based parsing cannot distinguish the two.
  • Pardon my possible ignorance, but I have a few concerns here: I do not feel just parsing a two-part name field using a list of common dropping and non-dropping-particles will be able to deal with all possible cases in a satisfactory manner: e.g., '…
  • With one of the styles that make use of the CSL variable "status", e.g., apa.csl, try {:status:in press} in Zotero’s "Extra" field (this use of "supplementary fields" is documented in http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#supplementary-…
  • collection-editor is in the CSL specs, see http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#roles. It just doesn't seem to be defined in any of the locale files (my guess: because in most languages and styles it's the same word as the "editor"…
  • I for one specifically proposed using ":". ":" simply will not do since it’s ambiguous, as noted before. ":" is entirely unambiguous, relatively unobtrusive, and though I agree users would have to be made aware of this markup convention I don't fe…
  • This is a question related to the issue of separating title and subtitle when only a single title field is available: I wonder whether adopting the convention of separating title and subtitle by space-colon-space has ever been considered for Zotero…
  • @adamsmith: That sounds encouraging. On what forum would this need to be announced, or discussed? And since this might take some time: What do you think would need to be kept in the meantime? Would it work for legacy programs if just the filename …
  • @Rintze: thank you for the link which adds some background the style files themselves just don't provide. Unfortunately, this discussion did not come to a clear conclusion, or at least no action was taken. What both the discussion and the actual beh…
  • Yes, proper biblatex subtitle import would be nice. In the meantime, try pandoc-citeproc --bib2json bibfile.bib > bibfile.json (which will take care of combining title and subtitle) and import bibfile.json into Zotero.
  • Noticed that too. I'd rather guess it has something to do with the change "'no date' instead of n.d. and disambiguation letters after no date (instead of behind access date)" listed in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/19544/style-request-cite-th…
  • As fbennett announced in this thread (24 May 2011), a workaround has been implemented in citeproc-js: Put "{:original-date: 1876}" in Zotero's "Extra" field, and this will be processed. Apart from that it's only a matter of upgrading the existing C…
  • Well, the workaround I described has the advantage of being in place already and, if used with official CSL variables, and with styles recognizing these variables, rendering correct bibliographies, both in Zotero, and in pandoc when using Zotero as …
  • Could this be adopted for the standard Chicago styles, too? pandoc-citeproc has been supporting "volume-title" for a long time (and is also able to convert the corresponding biblatex title/booktitle/maintitle fields to CSL's title/volume-title/cont…
  • I see. Would such a CSL change/update be difficult? Has this been proposed before? If not, should I? Would https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/issues be the right place? Or - to air a different idea - we could export Zotero's "Series …
  • @dunning - Adding "a continuous-volume-pagination property to the entries for articles which is on by default" would sure be the cleanest solution. Short of that, I maintain that in the absence of continuous volume pagination, i.e., when informati…
  • Done for chicago-author-date.csl. - Since the rule from 14.207/14.217 applies to all Chicago styles, would you be interested in pull requests for the others, too?
  • A few more issues: (1) article-journal should render month and issue. Examples from the MHRA guide, p. 68:Lionel Trilling, ‘In Mansfield Park’, Encounter, 3.3 (September 1954), 9–19. José Luis Pardo, ‘Filosofía y clausura de la modernidad’, Revi…
  • I have no idea why the though it was a good idea to change the way editors are displayed in the author-date style (and then not spend any space/effort on actually describing the style).Neither have I ... I wrote to MHRA asking for clarification, le…
  • I fixed the editor issue.Thank you, looks good.(What a terrible rule, though. Why make notes and bibliography diverge like that?).Couldn't agree more ... Volume: It is rendered if it's numerical. I was trying "VI" or "VI (1865)". Any chance you cou…
  • There are two different issues: One is how to represent the different titles of multivolume works, such as Pelikan, Jaroslav. The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine. Vol. 1, The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100–6…
  • I'm not sure what software currently relies on CSL-JSON export translator outputpandoc(-citeproc) can use CSL JSON. Using the zotxt filter which has Zotero export the required entries to CSL-JSON, it's easy to use pandoc with a Zotero database.
  • Not every single item type currently exports an 'author': Edited collections do not, and neither do unsigned newspaper articles, or reviews. Audio Recording exports "Performer" to "author", which probably isn't ideal either. More importantly, yes, …
  • The addition of "volume-title" alone will not solve this. We would need either a new item type (analogous to biblatex's "bookinbook") that would format titles differently, or we'd need some inline markup (e.g., ) that would cause processors to remo…
  • Two more MHRA (and MHRA author-date) issues: (1) "Volume" is not rendered. It should appear after the publication details, separated by ", ", in small capital roman numerals (see http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/StyleGuideV3_1.p…
  • As it seems many issues regarding citing films and other audiovisual material have not been resolved yet, I have a proposal, and two questions: The proposal: The entirely uncontroversial mapping of "Director" to the CSL variable "director" should b…
