I use OpenOffice/LibreOffice + Zotero seamlessly across both Ubuntu Linux (Thinkpad laptop) and Mac (desktop) machines. If you're happy with it on Windows (?), you should be equally happy on other platforms. What exactly do you want input on?
-
And if you want to understand that, you probably should read a quick primer on xml namespaces. What rintze is telling you to do is add a default namespace declaration, which effectively says "all elements have this namespace."

Nothing should be out of the question; certainly not anything so reasonable as asking that comments be opened on a blog ;-)
-
Doesn't it feel like a hack to post comments about a blog here? Why should behavior here be any different than on a blog?
-
Obviously something is wrong. On my machines (Mac and Linux, using Open/LibreOffice), I get the dialog immediately (though I've not used it for a book-length manuscript). The bigger issue for me is just a design one: I don't like having to open th…

Master documents are, according to MS Word experts, buggy to their core. I wouldn't trust them.
-
So I'll just make one observation about the docx output (as interpreted by LibreOffice): every paragraph in the bibliography has the same paragraph style ("Bibliography"). I would think ideally, we'd have a root "Bibliography" style, and then some …
-
Yeah, @cmbarton, I'm thinking it might help to post a before and after screenshot that shows a) what default output is, and b) what it looks after you modify it to be what you expect.
-
The OP is a troll; you all are giving them too much the benefit of the doubt.
-
Just to be really clear about my suggestion above in terms of implementation, I am NOT meaning anything about "tab stops." I mean simply that blocks could be "indented" (with a positive left margin) or to have a hanging indent. Essentially, this wou…

If you''re curious to the background behind why this is so, see: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=thomson+reuters+zotero+lawsuit

Is that your own, unique, requirement, or one specified by Chicago? If the latter, could you point me to the section to verify?
-
still, this means I have to type in the text each and every time. There are very few texts usually used in this place, so I still think it would be a good idea to pre-code them. two letters and some punctuation? if you're bothered by this, you're p…

BibDesk just uses BibTeX last I checked. That's a feature for some people. a liability for others (certainly for me).
-
Can I suggest in these kinds of conversations we be a little more deliberative about moving from use case questions (Frank's original question) to implementation ideas? E.g., as process, the common: 1. define and agree on use cases (in the this cas…
-
Yeah; I'd just been looking in the sorting section.
-
So to answer the question most directly: Does name-as-sort-order have any influence on sorting or is it only for rendering? No, it is only for display ("rendering"). Sorting logic is effectively hard-coded. FWIW, when I've coded this stuff, I've…

"Part"? In any case, the strategic question is what criteria we use for adding new locators.
-
OK. So it seems an "article" is just the constitution-specific name for what otherwise is called a "section" (though fbennett's comment has me a little unsure). If that's true, then we have the locator; just not a way to get the correct UI display a…
-
I was recently surprised to discover that we don't have an "article" label, which makes it rather awkward to cite constitutions, wherever you fall in the "article" versus "section" statutory turf wars. Is the term "article" broadly used outside the …
-
I should add that affixes on the name-part work well but are not allowed by the specs at the moment: your style won't validate. Not a big deal however since CSL specs will probably change on that point in the future Please don't recommend fixes for …
-
FWIW, I heard from someone at Google that it's possible to do this using App Script. My suggestion if anyone did want to look into coding this is to try to do it in such a way that the logic happened in Google Docs, and could pull in data from diffe…
-
GD took a couple steps forward (new layout engine, killer comments, etc.), and a few step back (no styles support). I don't recall hearing anything about any new APIs that would for live citations, but would love to see them.
-
There's been a few threads of freemind.
-
In locale terms? Or are you objecting to this form of rich text markup more generally, in data input as well? The former. I don't remember seeing anything in the CSL specification that specifically denies Gracile's markup, and it will validate. If t…
-
Encoded rich text markup embedded in ordinal terms as in your example will render properly in the next version of citeproc-js, just released. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but ... The CSL schema does not support embedded "rich text markup" in terms. …
-
@gracile - well, consider that a word-processor like Word or OOo can be setup to automatically superscript certain combinations of words, like in English "th." So one could say it might be good to let be handled "somewhere else." I think it belongs …
-
@Mario - as I said, this WILL NOT work now. We're discussing future possibilities. As for those of you thinking this is reasonable, what happens when the mathematicians want inline MathML? In any case, I'd suggest someone creating an issue, with d…
-
I'm not sure to understand. Do you mean that CSL should not manage that? Or that escaping html should not be a solution? Both. Escaped content should not be used anywhere in a style, and if the explicit unescaped markup isn't valid, then that simp…

Thanks. Just a comment: I'm not sure the "modified by " qualifiers on the contributors makes much sense. The contributor is by definition someone who has modified the style, and the only real practical purpose for it is to have someone to contact f…
