I was just referring to the CSL discussion; am not sure about any Zotero bugs, except I've not seen them myself (and I use author-date styles).
-
This isn't complicated, nor is it broken. The attribute configures the content between initials. The space between name parts is not configurable. Of course you can exclude initials from output; look at how the apa style configures the citation.
-
Before the OP actually follows any particular suggestion, it'd help for the clarify what they actually want, since it's not clear.
-
Check to make sure the author names are entered in your database EXACTLY the same. If they are, it should work as you expect.
-
Did you validate your style?

@adam: What mac really seems to want is for paragraphs not to be treated differently from line breaks ... But that may be (and probably is) an entirely irrational desire. It's not about purity for purity's sake; these details have practical conse…
-
Mac, I'm still confused why this is sooo important to you? The great benefit of semantic markup languages like HTMl is they free you from having to worry this.

I have foolishly written a long document, using the zotero word plugin, which my supervisor now has to be able to revise and edit using endnote. You can perhaps see where this is going. So just to be clear on the precise issues here: your adviser ne…

As I suggested here don't!

First, why are you so worried about these trivial details; so much so that you're willing to do something which makes no sense at all (going back to 1.0)? Second, to understand why I ask the question this way, you probably should read up a little b…

@felwert: I think what was then necessary is some kind of »range« data type. What happens if you have page numbers such as "1, 2, 14-20"? That's not uncommon with periodicals. Then it should be locale dependent how these ranges are rendered in the o…

ATM and CSL. The CMS is almost 1000 pages; doesn't mean it's our responsibility to cover all of it. Aside: your link requires a subscription to access. I assume that other styles have similar requirements. Assumptions aren't enough to justify sign…

I've been chatting with some people about putting up some periodical data as open linked data; am mildly confident it will yield results. It's kind of silly, if you think about it, that every application deals with this on its own (or not, as it w…

Just to be clear: I don't think there's any point in syncing the entire user style store. I'm more talking about the sort of use case that Rintze is mentioning. I'm most familiar with OpenDocument. In v1.2, it will certainly be possible to store th…
-
OK. But given practical use cases underlying both, I do think this is a problem in need of solution at some point. Just consider the multi-user and/or app cases.
-
What't the practical difference?
-
I highly doubt Sean said that. A quick search would have found this. As for id vs. link, we certainly shouldn't feel compelled to follow Atom where we don't need to, or where it may have negative consequences.
-
I don't use Zotero for this stuff, and I probably wouldn't personally advocate it. But the Zotero data model isn't really up to doing this well; there are no fine-grained relations, nor any notion of document versions (though the former could perhap…
-
That's funny; sean said not long ago that 1.5 was syncing styles. In any case, my opinion is they absolutely should be, and that any nuance added to the equation should come later (though opml won't be a part of it, given how ugly a format it is ;-…

Are you sure the problem is Firefox, and not the site(s) in question? I find it really hard to believe that IE is more compliant on these issues than Firefox.
-
You have plenty of compelling reasons to switch. So I suggest waiting until 1.5 final and the forthcoming "group" functionality is released, and then making the pitch to the team. By that time, the issues you are concerned about are likely to be res…
-
1. I understand that it is not currently possible to share a document or collaborate with other authors who may also have Zotero installed. Is that correct? Correct. It's actually even worse: you can't collaborate with yourself on different compute…

The current implementation of field/source linking is deeply flawed. But they are working on improving it.
-
No economist bothered to write or request one? The style repository is effectively a community effort.
-
I'm working on a book for the German publishing house Campus that asks to use only curved marks throughout the text. Yes, but this is why publishers hire copy editors and such ;-) I agree that CSL implementations probably ought by default or by con…

I know of no way to read .ENL apart from using Endnote itself. Can you perhaps ask a colleague or friend who has Endnote to convert it to RIS (and probably also BibTEX, just to be safe) for you?
-
I agree it'd be bad design to treat people and other agents as "item types." But they are important related things; contributors and such. So one could imagine recognizing that in the Zotero UI and data model. If you look under the hood of my webs…
-
But aren't those styles wrong, then (unless they're for annotated bibliographies)? From reading the spec, it's quite clear that "annote" is for user notes, and "note" is for "stuff that goes in the citation." But whatever; I trust your judgment, an…
-
2) The Bibtex field "review" was not transfered. Unfortunately, this field is where I stored all my reading notes for my bibliographic entry. That's supposed to go in the "annote" field.
-
Age/vision is DEFINITELY an important issue. But as has been noted elsewhere (above?) you can already change the default note size. I just think it should be preference option
