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.
-
That will be splendid. Thank you!
-
I've run across another odd thing that is somewhat related in considering what to do about this. It seems to be standard practice (Chicago §8.159, MHRA §6.5) to capitalize the second word of a hyphenated compound in headline-style titles. If I ask Z…
-
Very good point. That seems very sensible; I'm rather amazed that you managed to make that change in a span of twenty minutes. Thanks again!
-
Many thanks! I did notice that, but I wasn't sure whether this was the way it had been done in 2009. Just for future reference, can Zotero distinguish between real and fake DOIs, or does it simply not take DOIs from JSTOR at all?
-
Could somebody look into this again? It seems that Zotero is still exhibiting the behaviour described above.
-
I've also found it in a few other journals. Given that it's not something that can be easily switched around in one's entires and could be fixed programmatically, this would be extremely helpful to have.
-
That is unfortunate. I can always write if you want someone to pressure them to fix it on their end.
-
Thanks for the quick response! It is now importing it with the correct item type, though it still isn't taking the correct information from the page (using book title as article title, series title as book title, leaving out the editors and publishe…
-
I know that it's a bit of a long shot, but I thought it worth mentioning in the name of being able to cite the data imported from a website directly without modification – and it does take quite a long time to change all the entries if there is a fr…
-
That's done it. Many thanks!
-
Thanks for taking care of that! The only problem I'm seeing now is that it's printing "ed. & trans." rather than "ed. and trans.", which I assume is the Zotero default. The author-date style was already doing this, and I don't see anything in th…
