Ditto mark.

Just a reminder: those of you working on styles need to validate them. The details of XML matter a lot, and so you really need to be ensuring your files are valid. It also makes things easier for you as you go if you are using a validating editor li…

It's not your oversight; it's current limitation. Right now, citations in your document are tied to Zotero in general, and to a specific database instance in particular. So you have to use the same database. I believe the Zotero team is working on …

@digitig: I don't know how that's the case (it doesn't really make any sense). What style are you using?
-
Williams is the author, and Craig the editor; no problem at all.
-
Great; thanks mark! Any thoughts on how to translate this (particularly the date padding) into more generic CSL (e.g. that can still be reasonably translated to other output formats; RTF, TeX, etc.)?
-
@mark: looking again at that other thread, I think your suggestion for adding an "inline-block" value makes a lot of sense. I'll propose that. The thing I've not yet to figured out is the padding around the date, and the indenting. If you can figur…
-
Right. My point is this is way out of scope for Zotero in my view. But I could imagine that they could put the hooks in that would enable that sort of visualization (via a plug-in, or whatever).
-
Sounds like a different (perhaps connected, perhaps not) application to me.
-
Rproenc's questions—which boil down to "on what basis do we define something as a type?"—are certainly reasonable, and they've come up before; I've raised them myself. For example, "Podcast", "TV Broadcast" and "Radio Broadcast" could in theory be c…

@cmbarton: weren't there other existing threads for this? I'm unlikely to add anything so specific as tab support to CSL, since it's only really present in word-processors. HTML, for example, has no such thing. So the requirements of these kinds …
-
It's a tricky issue, because CSL is intended to be agnostic about the output format. So using CSS to specify indenting and such could be a problem.
-
@HobbesvsBoyle: not sure you're still paying attention, but unfortunately, you've stumbled on a dumb oversight in CSL. I hope we'll fix it sometime soon in both CSL and Zotero. Am not exactly sure how best to do that ATM though; it would be really a…

The solution in that ticket sounds good. But on looking at that macro again, I'm confused why it's not working correctly here. It seems to me the else-if condition should mean that a letter would call that macro. As for what I was suggesting might…
-
Elena has been primarily responsible for these styles, so I'd like to see if she can chime in before I make any changes. Here's what I see as the problem: This macro (…

Which Chicago style are you using? Can you post the link from the repo list?
-
The title I entered was "Harris to Goetz, 6 Apr 1925". I also filled in the author, date, location in archive, and repository fields. The first part seems wrong. Enter Harris and Goetz as separate author and recipient contributors, and leave the tit…
-
Re: Simon's point: Another collection lists all the references I have published. Yup; I do this too. Would be nice at some point to be able to auto-generate my CV from this.
-
I am certainly incompetent to suggest or program how this should be implemented zotero. I am only an end user who has experienced a nice feature in LaTeX/BibTeX and wishing if it were there in Zotero as well. While I can tell you a missing feature i…
-
But what I do wonder - if the style is then switched to footnotes - how is that supposed to work? Zotero usually simply puts a footnote instead of the citation. But where the authors are part of the text that clearly isn't possible ... It does seem …
-
While this is sort of a bug, you're not using the field correctly. "OECD" isn't, after all, a last/family name. What happens if you change the contributor field to the field (click on the icon to the right of it)?
-
So for those of you that feel so strongly about this, then provide a coherent explanation of how it should work in Zotero and Word/OOo in ways that don't impede the advantages of the current support. Don't tell people here simply to do it the way it…
-
I use collections for projects. For example, if I start an article manuscript, then I'll typically create a collection to have quick access to the things I'd like to cite.
-
But I also think you can do a lot with stand items, tags, collections and notes. If you are worried about sorting of notes, do a search through the forums archives for discussion of some ways to do this.
-
As I mentioned above, none of this necessarily means a "quote" needs to be anything like a discrete object/row in the database. There's still a lot that can be built on top of the HTML notes functionality coming in 1.5, so I'd suggest taking a look …
-
The generic Document type should work, though it may be currently missing a valuable field or two. I suppose a Data or Table type might be valuable to add as well. I wouldn't call this a government document though, since that's not its most fundam…
-
Just a quick note: I don't believe this use case is covered by the "container-author" variable in CSL. See this thread for an example use case.
-
The first would either be a report, or a book (particularly if formally published). Not sure about a census table. Exactly how is it made available? Is it a standalone document published on the web, or published within a government report?
-
@erazlogo: right, I wasn't meaning that a user would have to input that information (aside from the page number); just that it would be a way for Zotero to encode it.
-
And another option is just to mildly abuse the standard title and/or cite (where you have a URI) attributes. Maybe something like: ... Could even use a little JS to then display that information properly (which I'm doing with some HTML slides…
