Grumble, grumble ... another one of these stupid rules that makes things really hard for programmers. There's no way to accommodate this in CSL ATM. I'll raise it with the xbib group to see if we can figure out a reasonable solution.
-
Per this thread, this is not the most straightforward problem to solve from the CSL end (e.g. how to describe this sort of non-standard, and complicated, formatting). But I'm seeing if we can figure it out.
-
Ask Apple. It's up to them to make it possible for third-party developers to do this.
-
In this case, the prefix-suffix solution is not viable so I would have to write to authors by hand and include only the date with zotero. Why? Just write the "According to Blake and Tifanny's" and "research ..." as regular text, cite the 2008 item,…
-
OK, I'll look into if we can make some changes to CSL to support. But you're stuck with things as they stand now for the moment.
-
Ah. That's definitely not supported; comparison for this sort of grouping only happens by comparing of all authors. Why would you want to do that? Is it actually required by a style?
-
Use the following under "citation": On your second request, it's currently not supported, though we're talking about adding it.
-
You're right; I was confusing this with the "ibid" option.
-
The correct solution ATM is to create a new "no et al" variant of the style. The ideal solution is for Zotero (and other CSL implementations) to allow users to disable et al handling, since it's really awkward to have to create new styles for this.
-
Frank: I don't really understand the issue here, and unfortunately can't really deal with this ATM, as I'm almost out the door for a few weeks of travel. But, it's not a good idea to be patching Zotero AND CSL, given that they are independent, and a…
-
@deb: on 2, I think that's a data problem, and wouldn't necessarily expect Zotero to fix it. You might have to manually correct those items in your database.
-
Ah crap; sorry about that ... Frank! Juggling too many things today to keep names straight I guess! I'm not making any categorical statements (certainly not about Zotero) but just observing that adding regular expression support or otherwise scanni…
-
Fred, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's nothing in the Use "at" if the page number may be confused with another part of the citation rule that says you can't always use it. E.g. is there really any obvious case in which it would be considered an …
-
Interesting analysis. On this: Has anyone else come across this type of issue? How have you handled it? In the absence of a 'client' field is it sensible to shove this data in the publisher field? Sort of depends. You could consider this as two dist…
-
Not possible ATM. There's a related issue with "et al." In both cases, CSL does not require, and indeed has no mechanism, to explicitly specify where these things get printed, and how. The solution to both is the same: to explicitly require it. But …
-
Sure. If not too much trouble, it'd be good to post to the bibo dev list.
-
See also the related bibo rdf work. I tried to make sure the basics at least of legal requirements were covered, but I'm not a lawyer or a legal scholar or librarian.
-
This has come up in a number of threads; a recent one is here. Just to be clear in case there's any confusion, this is orthogonal to the question of legal citations and the bluebook.
-
This is tricky, but I think it's really up to Zotero to know how to handle cases like this. Might be somewhat easier if we had support for inline semantic markup.
-
I'm not so sure Zotero is incorrect in its handling. Bibutils (which is generally quite faithful to the specs) also does not respect line-breaks in the RIS abstract (N2) field. Makes sense, since abstracts are just short strings of text; you shouldn…
-
Re: label, the example you're looking for is in your style. See the "editor" macro; I corrected it before adding it to the repo (thought didn't have time to do the rest). I know XML and CSL is time-consuming to grok, but I'm guessing you've made yo…
-
Done. Note: your author macro is going to be pretty fragile, since it doesn't account for the possibility of a missing author, and thus the need to substitute. Also, see my use of the label element, which is how you're supposed to handle things …
-
Yes, a question: why three separate posts, in three separate threads, all about the same point?
-
Why do you think it doesn't belong in Zotero? It's it obvious? If you surveyed Zotero users about their preferred email clients, I'd bet it'd be over ten. Many of those would be specific to a single platform (say, Apple Mail). It's not feasible for…
-
Op. cit. is evil, and I don't believe it's incorporated into many styles. Ibid is much less evil, but I do think CSL implementations should add a user option to turn off ibid handling. That avoids having to do the only other solution I have for thi…
-
Yes, you are on the right track. But, I'd go a little further. Take a look at the bibliography section for the APA style. It is only a series of macro and variable calls (though I'm a little confused about why there's both a "container-contributors…
-
See here. Came out of conversations with Thomas Zander at KOffice. ODF 1.2 will provide a new metadata framework that would enable this feature nicely.
-
One thing I have noticed is that most styles in Zotero only have 3 output styles - BOOK, CHAPTER and DEFAULT (formatted to present as a JOURNAL entry). This is very limited in my view. I have been told in other parts of the forum that this system ca…
-
First, is the CSL file all that is required for all style operations? Yes. Second (especially if there's a puddle of code somewhere that isn't in that XML), is there a way to get SVN login access? See here.

BTW, some problems with Endnote export are a consequence of really old (and AFAIK unfixed) bugs in Endnote.
