  • Thanks. I'll take you up on that.
  • One more question - does the "code number" field in Statutes map to a particular text variable? I tried the text variable names in the chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/csl.js list, but nothing seemed to work.
  • Bill it is. Very helpful. Thanks to you both.
  • Works like a charm. I wish I had known about this before. Thanks again. bdarcus: If you read this and have time, you might consider adding an in-line version of your Bluebook style to the repository. It's an extremely helpful format for pr…
  • Exactly. I didn't realize that there was that "in-text" option, but having checked the CSL syntax page and the Bluebook code, I see where you make that change in the preamble. Will try experimenting with it. Thanks!
  • Apologies. I meant the correct item(?) type. As in, type="article-journal" or type="legal_case".
  • I have been taking a stab at an alternate Bluebook citation style. I've never edited any code before, so I'm running into a few problems. Can anybody tell me the proper variable name for statutes (i.e., what to put in a syntax line)? Thanks. --…
  • I'm having a similar problem - a large number of PDFs and screenshots attachments are not indexed in my current library. When I try to have Zotero either rebuild the index or index the unindexed items, I get error messages or nothing happens. …
  • @bdarcus: Thanks. I totally understand. The biggest one is the first (non-numbered) item. The rest are all more minor tweaks that would be helpful. Regarding #2: Yes, I believe this is the same as "ibid." "Id." is used when citing the same…
  • Does any programmer think they might have time to update the Bluebook style with the suggestions from on Oct. 5th, and the inclusion of the court from the post on Sept. 30th? Am about to begin writing a new paper, and am trying to decide whether to…
  • @bdarcus: One big issue that just occurred to me: supra should not be used when citing cases subsequent times (nor statutes, constitutions, etc.). See rule 4.2 (p. 66). Instead of using supra, you use a short form of the case name plus the…
  • thanks! working great.
  • @bdarcus: Thanks for taking the time to do this. I appreciate it. Plain roman typeface for reporters is illustrated by examples in Rule 10.1 Basic Citation Forms (p. 79-80 in my BlueBook). There is not a specific rule that explicitly states t…
  • Bluebook Law Review is great. I've noticed two small bugs: 1. When citing to a case, the reporter name shows up in small caps, but it should be in regular font (e.g. F. Supp. 2d is showing up in small caps instead of regular text). 2. Whe…
  • I've downloaded Bluebook law review, but it doesn't seem to be working with Westlaw. Am I correct that Westlaw is not a supported database? Also, is there any way to get Zotero to do citations in legal format (in parens after a sentence instead of…
  • Wondering if there's any update on bluebook?
