But my point is that coding that rule would fail in a lot of cases because of the complexity of real world names. As just one example, Spanish names often include two given names ("Juan Miguel" say), each of equivalent prominence. The current desi…

But in this case the DIN is giving the rule always to write out the first given name of the authors. But rules aren't always as coherent and consistent as we assume them to be. I can almost guarantee you that no editor (well, really copy-editor) is …

I'd say the problem is likely more on the Zotero end, since it basically takes a free-text field and parses it into some internal representation; a representation I can only assume doesn't include ranges or lists. My intention is that CSL supports …

RDFa and/or microdata is a better way to "embed ... metadata in html."
-
COinS sucks. Or to be less dramatic and more balanced, I don't think it's well suited to the sorts of use cases we care about.
-
Yes, but try to the zotero-dev list. BTW, I wish you wouldn't use Flash.

So yeah; that sounds good to me.
-
What do you mean by "automatically assigning the references that are used in a document to a particular library and collection"?
-
Would the preferred library option include a default save location?
-
On PDFs (getting to it now): Another thing that embedded metadata does not solve is linking from the citations to PDS. We have an unofficial policy that all items in the group library should contain the PDFs. If a coauthor inserts a citation that I …
-
On this (I'll get to the other issues later): A problem arises if an item is not based on any of the items in my Zotero libaries, but metadata stored in the citation field. Because these items are not stored in Zotero, how would I fix it? Editing th…

@Dan - perfect.
-
This had one issue: The citation metadata was read-only for a persons other than the one inserting the citation. No reason that has to be the case here though; the idea is not inspired by Endnote, but rather just an analysis of the problem of sharin…
-
So this is a tricky issue, but here's some quick thoughts: As I mentioned on the dev list, I'm not convinced this (the disable library approach) is the best solution to real problems. If we just look at the collaboration scenario, for one thing, we…

wouldn't it be possible/desirable to add an additional "person type" to the standard zotero data model, ie. to add "person-short" (or whatever suitable name) to the current list of "author", "editor", "translator" etc. Yes, but I wouldn't call a per…

And FWIW, from my own perspective, a manuscript is just an unpublished document.

About my way of organizing my bibliography, I like it. I am not a well organized person and I have a very bad memory. Having everything in front of me when I insert something helps me a lot. When I write something new I can put it at a place where i…

Zotero offers many possibilities (Collections, Tags) for organizing references, so if you used that file for such a purpose you might be able to replace that workflow with Zotero. This. It's extremely inefficient to maintain notes for a library in a…
-
Well, there are two cases: What the OP is asking for (I think), which is just having class names on output tokens. For this, it should be straightforward to just dump the relevant variable names on the output nodes. Microdata and RDFa is a little …
-
If I had to guess based on previous discussion, I'd say it's just not easy for Frank to add this now, since the current design essentially treats output as a presentational string. FWIW, I've started to write a bib profile that I think should be us…

Basic library view seems cramped on my 12" laptop screen. And related, but perhaps bigger, I'm not a fan of how much vertical real estate is wasted by the current library design; particularly the header (but also the footer). On one hand, it's a lo…

@ajlyon - so is ProCite exporting those tags by default, or is this some custom thing on that end? Would be nice to know what other apps do with translators.

Is TR valid RIS? I don't think so.

Please search the forums before posting. Almost every topic you can imagine has been discussed, including this one.

As you know, a good amount of journals and books do final typeset in LaTeX - There is no reason that csl couldn't be used in context that similarly produces finished typeset - maybe e.g. the pandoc/csl application is already close to that, not sure…

If some styles require that, then fine. But I don't want feature requests to be driven by complete misunderstanding of what a basic concept is, so was just correcting that misunderstanding.
-
Really awful, when you start a new page in Word / OpenOffice, insert citations and there is a "ibid. ..." which refers to a page before. No it doesn't; it refers to the preceding citation; has nothing to do with pages.
-
This gets back to that long, hairy, conversation about disambiguation and grouping. In my first citeproc + CSL prototype, this issue would never come up: sort the list by date, group by year, index year groups. Can that logic really not be represe…
-
You're now getting the year-suffixes, that's all I changed in the style. As I wrote above, the sorting is being done exactly as it is defined in the style. If you can quote the section of the APA style guide that requires the month and day to be inc…
