On the last one, I would only point out that container-title needs to be sentence case for journals, so you don't get '5th Ser.' The workaround (as used in Chicago) is quite simple.
-
That's odd. Are you running the current version of OS X? Not sure if that would make a difference. Note also that you need to have Zotero open in order for zotxt to be able to import the references from it.
-
You simply install the zotxt add-on from the Mozilla website into Zotero and paste 'sudo pip install pandoc-zotxt' into the command line. That's it; there's nothing to configure (except that you need to add the extra '-F pandoc-zotxt' bit when proce…

I use Erik Hetzner's zotxt: it adds an 'Easy Citekey' translator to Zotero that will output a citation key in the format of @doe:2014title (you can change the key to something else by adding a note or tag to the item starting with @). You then simpl…

Honestly, the terminal isn't as scary as you might think, and you certainly don't need to be a programmer (see this tutorial and this for basic information). It allows you to accomplish a number of things much more efficiently, and opens up an entir…

I looked into using the program in the winter, but found it was both more and less than I need. I've ended up writing everything using TextMate in Pandoc's Markdown. (Pandoc, by the way, is written by a philosophy professor, and has a particularly n…

Exactly, yes.

No, I'm using Zotero Standalone. I'd like Zotero to use "http://dx.doi.org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/" rather than "http://dx.doi.org/" when clicking on a link to a DOI within a citation. Not, obviously, much more than a nicety.
-
That brings it into line with author-date at the very least. Thanks!
-
I wrote them almost immediately, but they never responded. To review the evidence, the manual states, 'When an edition other than the first is used or cited, the number or description of the edition follows the title in the listing.' I'm guessing t…

This is all very interesting. The core issue here is simply that we're currently going to the trouble of maintaining nice, structured information for our citations, but it simply ends up in lightly formatted text, because there really aren't any goo…
-
This would be a very useful thing to have. Word and LibreOffice are miserable in every respect except for the Zotero plugin, which is simply wonderful. I'd really like to move all of my writing to something based on Markdown (TextMate offers an extr…

Note, by the way, that the AMA Manual of Style is also open for the week.

As it happens, until this Saturday, Oxford is allowing free access to some of their materials for National Library Week: http://global.oup.com/academic/librarians/national-library-week/ Hart's Rules are here (user/password is libraryweek): http:/…

See https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage. The notes dragged from Zotero are just formatted text, while the ones that go grey when selected are generated by the plugin, and should be edited by Zotero itself, using the Edit Citat…

Thanks for your ideas; I may indeed try to do it, though it will be quite some time before I can get there. The idea of an extra quick copy button is interesting; I'm so oriented towards the keyboard that I tend to forget about such things, but I ca…
-
That's excellent. Thanks for taking care of it!
-
Glad I'm not the only one. I'll write the CMoS staff and let you know what they have to say.
-
@aurimas Actually, it can be very useful to proxy dx.doi.org: though that site is not restricted, the objects it points to often are. Using the proxy, it will redirect you to the page using your subscription.
-
I'm wondering if I might dig this out again, as the juxtaposition of the author-date and full note styles seems a bit strange. For a book section, I am currently getting the following citation with Chicago author-date, reflecting the changes made as…
-
I put together a style for the Transactions of the American Philological Association based on Chicago author-date, though I didn't end up using it, so there might be a few errors. Almost nobody, though, uses author-title-year these days; it might be…
-
Awesome. I have a lot of things like this in my library, and for me it certainly fixes more things than it breaks, so hopefully it's the same for others. I've almost got the above changes working in Chicago; I'm just trying to figure out the most e…
-
Right, I hadn't thought of that. (I had been putting 'Millennio Medievale' into the title and '63; Strumenti e studi, n.s., 14' into the series number.) The question is whether this is going to mess other people up, if someone else used a similar ha…
-
I thought of that, but it could cause problems in cases where there is more than one series. For example: Rossana Guglielmetti, La tradizione manoscritta dei commenti latini al Cantico dei cantici (origini–XII secolo): Repertorio dei codici contene…
-
I'll see what I can do with getting collection-title to print in the right spot for journal articles, then. The other example I've pulled up is only an issue with books. Normally in Chicago, when you have a series, there is no space between the ser…
-
Would it perhaps be cleaner to add these two abbreviations to the capitalization exceptions list? I assume that 'collection-number' corresponds what is displayed as 'Series Number' within Zotero. The issue is that you would not normally have a comm…
-
There's one other wrinkle, which also affects MHRA: "ser." and "n.s." are being capitalized when placed in the series field, coming out as "Ser." and "N.s.".
-
Thanks for the clarification! I see now that merging these fields has been discussed for a few years. It could actually be useful to have both 'series' and 'series text' (or something like that) in the case of books, where you can get horrible thing…
-
It is great that we can edit our own styles, but to keep everything in sync, it would be really great if you could reconsider including an official version of the Chicago styles without DOIs. Much as I like the idea, the reality is that they're wide…

No problems here so far.
