Minor additional comment: Collapse-by-author behaves a little unexpectedly when two different authors with the same name are not ambiguous due to year of publication. Following the examples above we'd get: (Smith 2000, 2005) when collapsing A. Smi…

Ya hay una discusión muy larga con sugerencias de incluir esta función automaticamente: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5282/multiple-in-text-citation-patterns Como puedes leer en una de las últimas respuestas, los desarrolladores de Zotero tie…

Could different locator types then specify different formats? Interesting. Someone should try this out. It's far from the 'right' way to do it, but exciting there's even a possibility.
-
What @bwiernik said, but: I have photographs scanned from books... In that case, you would probably cite the book as the main work, and then cite the image by page in the book when inserting a specific citation. (Zotero also allows, for example, cit…
-
If CSL allowed testing for something like "locator has [specific] value", this could be done within a style even, no macros required. That's an excellent point, and would be a useful addition to CSL in general, although arguably too powerful (I be…

By request, here is a parentheses-only option. Should work for any style that uses parentheses (it searches for and replaces only doubled parentheses, so I don't expect any errors with other style types). As above, there could be some errors/limita…

As mentioned in the other thread, it sounds like the Zotero devs are working on adding some features. (I'm not positive it will include options for all options like parentheses, but at least more.) For the moment, however, I've written a macro that…

In case anyone else is using this (or thinking about something similar), here is an update/expansion to the code: https://pastebin.com/VYY0LuH8 I added some features for my own use. The same original functions still work. But three things have been…

@bwiernik, yes, I agree. I'm testing my formatting (layout of the document, as well as a customized style sheet), but don't plan to do this often. Still it takes about an hour to refresh the whole thing, so even once a month or something is a lot. B…

OK, thanks for clarifying. I'm currently dealing with a 300 page document that's sluggish for various reasons, so just looking for ways to cut corners. (I'm editing in another document, but it still takes a while to put everything back together and …

OK, that makes sense regarding annotated bibliographies! -- As for size, it's not huge. For example, an average abstract in my library is around 2000 characters long, or 2kb. If there are 100 cites like that (whether repeating the same reference o…
-
@bwiernik, yes absolutely. That's a good solution. Depending on font issues (hopefully not too many these days) and publisher expectations, there's also a question of whether to cite in transliteration for non-Latin scripts, and that can also make t…
-
If a title is given only in English translation, however, the original language must be specified. That's a great way to make it hard for readers to actually locate the article. As someone who spends most of my time looking at multi-lingual sources,…
-
Minor note: in case you happen to be working with books in other languages, 'zzzzz' would not be the last-sorted string (for example, Russian names in Cyrillic are always sorted after Latin). You could guess what might be last (some high-value Chine…

No. Unlinking converts them to plain text with no way to recover the hidden information from Zotero in the field. Instead, you must save a backup of the original, and then go back to that file if you need to make additional changes.

Thank you! You should always enter page ranges in their entirety in Zotero.I've been doing that inconsistently, but am switching to that consistently now. The simple page range abbreviation you are describing (for all number page ranges) has been im…

What is “Jones p.c.”? Oh, odd. I used a less than symbol in my original post that got parsed as HTML and removed where I said p.c. = personal communication. Corrected and updated that post. Write out "pers. comm." or just "personal communication" if…
-
Actually, I just found my own workaround for this: Add Jones p.c. ; as a prefix to the following item, and then it does render properly, as if this is an additional item in the cite. Of course that's not semantically correct: the additional inform…

Any updates on this? I've just been manually deciding to enter either "11-2" or "11-12" depending on the document, but now that I'm currently working on a long document where some parts were inconsistent I realized how challenging it is to change t…
-
OK, thank you. Very clear!
-
Thank you @adamsmith. That clarifies what I was wondering about. So for (3), if I do not have any sorting setup within cites (I don't want it in general, not for years), then these won't be automatically changed and will, in theory, sometimes get "…

Thank you!!

Everyone involved in Zotero and CSL is aware of the need.For 10 years, with zero progress, and no updates. Often the response to concerns, suggestions, etc., has been dismissive too. Sorry, but that doesn't cut it. Further snide comments to that eff…

It is indeed the case that sometimes just being polite is the best you can do, yes, and I don't see why that shouldn't be an option.Many people have been polite, for 10 years. And my lack of being polite here is calling out how long it has taken and…

What's your suggestion? This has been left half-solved for 10 years, and it is probably the single most requested feature on the forums (no exaggeration). I've personally been talking about it for about a year, and you're correct that the polite/dip…
-
The difficulty of a 'perfect' solution has prevented any progress on one that works. For 10 years. If "suppress author" is possible, then "suppress all but author" should also be possible. It was lazily half-solved before, and then left alone. Sorr…

No, there is no solution. It has been requested many times. This is discussed in more detail here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5282/multiple-intext-citation-patterns/ I wrote a Word macro for myself that will do this (details in the other …

(There are small periods/dots between letters in the titles (zoom in). Looks like a graphics rendering issue maybe. Note: I've never seen this problem myself, just clarifying.)

Indeed! Very complicated and confusing. But does it make sense to have a special "Conference proceedings" type in Zotero at all, especially if this type of item (understandably) violates the principle of not making entries specific to any particula…
