Well the problem here is that you are embedding data within other data. Your data is not normalized. I would recommend simply defining a new type of data item, called a quote, and telling users to create a new "Quote Item" for each new quote. those …
-
Perhaps it's because it's been discussed in other threads extensively? It's likely to show up in CSL soon-ish, but I can't predict if or when Zotero will implement it.
-
It does seem that if one is going to create software that generates bibliographic citations and stores bibliographic quotes then it makes sense to also store the page number of that quote. It is required information after all. Yes, but it's not clea…
-
Oops; I left out a word or two; it should say "though there IS NO formal page number support ..." You can imagine that in theory one could select a quote and add a page number to it. But while that's been talked about, it's not implemented yet. A…

Yikes, I missed earlier, but better comment for the record: Here are a few undocumented gotchas... The field has to be updated, which is obvious enough in hindsight. The field seemed at first unnecessary. The chrome tool formats correctly without …

Um, try notes? Notes get more powerful in 1.5 in that it supports HTML-based semantic "rich text." So you can actually tag your quotes as quotes (though formal page number support ATM; I just append a '@23' if I need to track this).
-
This is one of those "stupid rules that's too complicated to implement." I see no reasonable way to do it, and I see no logical basis on which that style guide includes that example. Grumble, grumble ... On the practical level, I'd suggest a) cont…

You're being a little vague. What do you mean by "adding"? I, for example, have no problem doing a select-all and copy-and-paste into another document. Is that what you're doing?

Search the forums, where Dan Stillman once explained what CSS file you can change.

I hope someone here can read English. The style is not valid; it has many, many errors. You need to validate it. Also, can you not find an existing style that is close to what you need here?
-
OK, I see your point. I think the current behavior might reasonably be called a Zotero bug. It might be worthwhile to add a ticket (if there's not one already).
-
But what might be the semantics of location in this context? It doesn't seem to make much sense unless Zotero were to add an explicit notion of Place, and somehow allow items to be associated with those places (through, say, tags).
-
Yeah, FWIW, the author of citeproc-hs (which is what provides CSL support in pandoc) has expressed interest in adding this sort of thing to the OpenDocument format. So it's certainly possible. But it would require changes in Zotero. As I've said ma…
-
See add-disambiguate. It won't work completely as you expect, so you'll probably have to do some editing at the end (after you save out a copy, and unlink the fields). That's a strange rule, BTW; the bit about removing the initials if there are dif…

What's wrong with using separate collections for each project?
-
1) you need small-caps 2) read the documentation ;-)
-
As I've said in another thread on this issue, Zotero a) should not adapt ANY features specifc to BibTeX, and b) needs to consider these requests in the context of larger goals. WRT to this example, the relevant larger goals are the forthcoming socia…
-
You can't change it. Just wait until you're done with the document, save out a copy, unlink the fields, and change as you wish. I do think that it would be useful if Zotero would rely more on Word/OOo styles, such that a user could set this option …
-
What do you mean you "cannot install"? What happens if you click on the "install" link to the right of the item?
-
Search the forums; this has come up many times. IIRC, the short answer is there's not much you can do; such bibliographies are in an unstructured format that is really hard for any application to understand.
-
Why do you want underlines instead of italic? Underlining is a product of an era of typewriters, and I understand is now (finally!) discouraged by MLA. On the second part, are you referring to examples where Zotero is automatically capitalizing a t…
-
@felwert: yes, I think you summarize the issues. I think adding support for this sort of thing would require changes to CSL such that you would be forced to configured the different output options. And then there's that problem of switching styles, …
-
No need for CSL changes; "container-title collection-title" and "short" form.
-
@cmbarton: am saying that I believe CSL now more-or-less has the support you need, but that Zotero needs minor updating to support it. I just added the two different tickets, and commented on another existing one. And yes, your read on the style ma…
-
Can we please close this thread? People aren't paying attention.
-
@E_Groot: just this morning I pointed another poster to a page that discusses how to request styles. Can you please do that?
-
@cmbarton: Replying to this regarding indenting of blocks and such, where you noted the need for this kind of final output: line1->author(s) ... line2->@@@more authors if there are a lot of authors line3->@@@date rest of citation ... line4…
-
@cmbarton: I'm moving this to the other thread.
-
@mark: is there a trac ticket for this issue? If not, add one. On CSL, I recently added inline-block. So if the Zotero devs add this, and fix the "bug" on handing of subsequent author entries, then you should be set. I'm also open to adding supp…
