Ah, so! Got it. Thanks.
-
Fix confirmed. Thanks. I've changed the locale codes in twlaw per your instruction, though I must admit I don't fully understand yet. With the new settings: ... ... tw_layout_codes... an item will be formatted according to "tw_…

I debated over whether to set the ending suffix for a citation when developing mlz-twlaw, going back and forth a few times, and I wasn't ever considering difficult scenarios like mbruffey's cases above. Keeping it (current twlaw implementation)…
-
Thanks. No rush. Twlaw is working properly as is, and those are rarely cited types anyway.

@fbennett, It seems localization of *cast terms doesn't work in bibliography sorting macros. I had a macro (X) that adds the relevant term to the start of a title, with the following code: ... ... where the term television-broadcast had been de…
-
Ah, so, understood. Thanks.

@fbennett, The various *cast genre tests don't seem to work. I tried both type="song" and type="broadcast" with podcast (because in your book podcast is categorized as "song"). Neither worked. The validator keeps telling me: stdin:3038:10: error: a…

I don't think the zotero library size is a big issue. Seasoned zotero users may have more. A word document with more than 700 footnotes with field codes (in Word linguo), on the other hand, is a big problem. I'm new to zotero and have only a fe…

At least on a Mac, the profile root under the caches folder (1m931hpk.default in this case) should be hidden, but after getting inside, the folders and files should be in plain sight.
-
I just came across a similar problem when trying to figure out how to localize the content of the status variable. Wouldn't this something you can achieve by entering the localized term into the "status" field? Unless you want to do something differ…
-
There is a similar issue with the CSL-m broadcast type ... Thanks. This reminds me to look into that part of code. Never spent much thought on it for I've never seen one cited.

Is the file (39FEDd01) still there? If so, can you open it with a text editor (textedit should work)? (Right click and select an editor from the "open with" menu or drag and drop into textedit.) According to the description by Sophos, this shou…
-
That's fast. Thank you.
-
The third option sounds good, and we might need it down the road. For now, however, just being able to localize the two terms are good enough for me, for I can use a generic format for all three sub-types of personal_communication, like this: …
-
Got it. Thanks. But that makes me wonder: do I need to do the same to the various Chinese terms/text in twlaw?
-
Confirmed. Thanks.
-
The version installed by the client is up to date with the repository. If you have a local version with fixes and you file a pull request on GitHub, I can merge them. That's not what I meant. I had a fairly recent amlaw (the one ported into twlaw) b…
-
Confirmed. Thank you! amlaw.csl got reverted back to the April version again, though. I started noticing the issue after trying to understand MLZ's disambiguation logic. I found an old thread wherein you mentioned bluebook's requirement for the inc…
-
What I would try is to find the folder EF06Cd01 in the storage directory of the Zotero data folder (which I think would be /MYNAME/Library/Caches/Zotero/Profiles/1m931hpk.default/zotero in your case No, the "/MYNAME/Library/Caches" folder is for cac…
-
Zotero standalone uses the same architecture as firefox, so you should be able to delete the whole Zotero folder under ~/Library/Caches without problem. (Do this after you have shut Zotero down.) Zotero will recreate the folder the next time it star…
-
Understood. Will do that. Thanks.
-
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm afraid using near-note position test is not a good workaround, however, as the bluebook is very specific about near note distance (5). I guess testing the existence of "hereinafter" variable should work, as the blue…
-
So now it's hard-coded in the processor that disambiguate="true" if an author has more than one works cited, correct? (Seems so from my own experimentation.) Is it possible to make this user-customizable? I would prefer disambiguate="true" only wh…
-
That would be nice, for teaching people MLZ would become just a tad easier. The style is (will be) needed by a relatively small number of people, however, so I don't mind if you leave it out. A centralized repo for easy download is good enough for m…
-
Confirmed. Thanks. One side issue though: every time I update MLZ, the mlz-amlaw.csl is reverted back to an older version. You might want to update the included styles.
-
I've managed to reproduce it: a bizarre combination of of item type "hearing" and a name entered in the "testimony by" field. Screenshot available at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3F1SeOjlQYqRjlfbVFQcjVFTkE/. Changing the item to another type (I…
-
Thanks for asking. I don't remember the exact original message, but I got this one after a few more tries: ItemID not set for object before attempting to load data Searched the forum for the error message, and tried a few tricks, but nothing worked…
-
Just to let you know that I fixed it in the mlz-twlaw.csl emailed to you this afternoon.
-
Great. Problem solved. thanks!

Private message sent. And thanks for the script. I'll certainly need it down the road.
