Isis: on italics vs. small-caps and other details, the issue isn't what you want in this case, but what Bluebook says. Can you confirm I've made a mistake there? On your other things, all I can say is that I will try to get to it when I can. There'…

You can do it, at least in CSL. You just do the same thing you'd do with IEEE, but set the sorting for author-date (as in, say, APA).
-
Good idea Elena.
-
Using underlines for formatting is archaic, and I could have sworn that the MLA guide has finally recognized this. Alas, it seems not. Grumble, grumble ...
-
Yes, I forgot about that one; it's an option. The problem is it's rather inflexible. It works in this case, but are there other cases of multiple roles?
-
While I can see this might be nice to have, how would you propose to do it practically? Remember: computers are really, really, dumb, so rules of this sort have to be explicitly itemized. I see potential problems, like: Your examples above are e…
-
No, except that I think I should have a better idea over the next month or so. If something comes up, I'll post a note on the forum.
-
For sake of argument: What could possibly be wrong about including a DOI? It's information that is valuable to readers, and it doesn't take up much space.
-
Unfortunately it's Adobe's problem, not Mozilla's. Yes, though it'd be nice to have Mozilla offer native PDF rendering; can't imagine it'd be that hard given their use of the Quartz-like Cairo as the rendering library.
-
OK, give it a try. BTW, I think your wrong about the et al. I saw two in the docs.
-
bboulding: no promises from me, but it's more likely you'll see it if you itemize exactly how they're different. And to undeline a point that I've mentioned here at least three times: it's in general inconsiderate for people to be posting vague req…
-
I looked at that discussion and while INAL, I find the comment from Dom about my comment above rather surprising. The license does matter if AbiSource wants to distribute such a plug-in, but doesn't otherwise. The OOo plug-in, for example, needs no …
-
divadnagrom: you just look for the prefix and suffix attributes that contain the parenthesis, and remove them. There's some documentation on CSL here.
-
My guess is a) this is indeed a bug, and b) you'll see the same behavior in all number styles. E.g. that's not coded in the style.
-
Hmm, so you're complaining about the space that precedes the "."; yes? If so, then that's a bug in Zotero (and I need to revert the change I just checked in to remove the space after the "."!).
-
And for news of a basic prototype (on which I need help to finish): http://community.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/archives/2008/02/25/from-proposal-to-example-csl-gallery
-
It depends on your comfort level with XML. If you want to experiment, you can load the style in csledit.xul and try it. Otherwise, make sure you itemize the problems in the other thread.
-
Automatic journal abbreviation is not trivial, and has been discussed here many times. You'll need to manually change them. The et-ail thing requires changes in CSL and Zotero. I hope/expect those will get resolved soon. The space: are you saying …
-
I don't think the license is that relevant. We're talking about a third-party plug-in. Projects like AbiWord need to start thinking about generic interfaces for this sort of thing. It's rather inefficient that every word-processor and every biblio…
-
Dan: I see what you're saying, but as you say, there are many ways to do this sort of weighting. The problem with stars, is something like this: what if I absolutely hate an article or a book because I disagree with the ideas, but I consider it ess…
-
The good thing about tags is that it's not that hard to merge them, and so to gain significant social advantages from that. I'd imagine it'd be more difficult using hierarchical taxonomies. In other words, any new feature that goes into Zotero mu…
-
OK, try now. I was in a hurry, so didn't test it, but this stuff should (mostly) work as expected. I still need to add support for cite pages though (I think).
-
Books, articles, etc.
-
If your solution works (as you say), then what's the use case for adding this change? In general, I try to adopt the "keep it as simple as possible" approach (not always easy of course given all the funky rules in many styles). Also, it might mak…
-
Hmm ... I'm no so sure it is "just about sorting"; seems that sorting is a means to another end. OK, so is it fair to say that you care about "creators" and "other contributors"? To me "primary author" seems almost redundant. A creator or author …
-
On the "primary author" issue, it might be helpful to flesh this out more formally, given that we're going to be releasing the first RDF draft soon, and contribution modeling is the newest, and most difficult part of it. I have questions like: 1. …
-
Can you try again, experimenting with a few different types? The style is pretty generic, so some of these little issues are a consequence of that.
-
Try again. The title looks fine on my end.
-
I don't think you can really go wrong with Markdown: it's simple, clear, and widely supported. Textile is similar in scope. RT is more complex, and not as widely supported (though really well supported in Python of course). I think it would be use…

Go here to the "dev" section, and click the "install" link next to the style.
