Yeah, scot, I saw the JS Markdown and editing widget recently. It's got me thinking it could not only serve as a nice basis within Zotero for this example, but also maybe as a nice browser-based authoring solution ;-)

Dan -- I've been seeing this behavior as well. And no, I'm not trying to drag an item into a collection to which it already belongs (which, BTW, should yield some feedback). But Zotero doesn't report an error on it. [shrug]
-
Maybe I'm missing something, but Zotero is already designed with exactly this recognition in mind. Most types allow a URL and access date, for example, and there's nothing in particular that distinguishes the publisher of an electronic text from any…

atomdogg: I added the style based on your description. I did not check it against the documentation, though, taking your word that is identical save for the et-al issue. Julian -- if you get a chance, these two could use some normalization as I saw…

Search the forums. This has been discussed many times.

I'm mostly interested in being able to enter geographic locations so that i can see things move through space and time and I'd also like to my cards to be assigned permanent, unchangeable numbers. "things"? Can you be more specific? As for identifi…

Firstly, there is a list of Endnote styles for specific journals at http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. Would it be possible to import those styles into Zotero? If this is not an option (copyright or some other reason), It's technically pos…

It's not possible.

mcitations: when is your thesis due? The problem is you're not spending the time we need you to spend to find the information we need to help you. As I say farther above, we all are doing this for free, and we're all busy doing our own theses, or…

when i click on a title in the center pane i'd like to be able to see which collections i've saved said item in. I'm trying to integrate my endnote library with my zotero collections and would like to be able to keep track where things are and how m…

Whoever does it has to give it a title and an id, so no, not really. Why are you needing this style after all? Is it for some journal? Some class? Perhaps the answer to that question can help you identify the answer?
-
mcitations: it would help to give more information, such as name of the style, and a URL for the documentation. See above for examples. We can't read minds on details.
-
The idea here is really to build up a public style repository. The current one is just the start of this, allowing you to click on a style and have it installed. But you could imagine this has a lot of room to grow, with categorization by field, pre…

I'm struggling with similar issues. To me this is one of the major disadvantages compared to endnote. Are there any plans to include possibilities to customize existing styles or create new one in Zotero like it is possible in endnote? And if so, wh…

See http://www.zotero.org/styles

On the style, I was speculating that you can just do a fairly simple modification; e.g.: If we improve the APA macros, then we can copy them back over. Make sure you submit your style to the repository when you're done so other peop…

Although 400 references may be an extreme case I think that most documents can easily end up with more than 50 references. Therefore, it would be highly desirable to enhance performance. I agree. I've not yet used Zotero with an extensive manuscript…
-
Zotero seems to have this except for a few problems - extremely basic note taking capability ... This isn't really true. The existing Zotero note functionality is much more powerful than the alternatives that I'm aware of (say Endnote). Allowing ric…

Moreover, the german APA-Style causes an error at the handling of pages: there always appear two dots after the "S." --> (S.. 177) and not (S. 177) This looks like a bug in Zotero. Unfortunately, the zotero database lacks a field for editors when…
-
Tell us what you need to modify first. If it's just about German language terms, then you should need to modify a style; there just might be a missing translation.
-
If you need to fix bugs or missing features in Zotero's formatting, the way to do it is to finish the paper, convert the fields to plain text, and edit those. Then you don't have to worry about your changes get wiped.
-
euj: there's no debate about the need to cite introductions. The issue is about how to support it. Forcing users to configure a customized solution that only works for them a la Endnote is, I think, the wrong approach. I think the best way to handl…

Dan: Jaxer (a new JS-based server) might be useful?
-
This is something that keeps me away from using zotero, because I have too many user-defined fields that either do not show up in zotero at all or in the wrong fields. For the record, this is exactly the problem with user-defined fields. I really ho…
-
cartesian: how does that solve the problem? For sake of argument, say you have three citations in a row, which all qualify as ibid. But the second is your "manual" citation. There's no way for Zotero to correctly format those citations. elena: crea…
-
You can also try creating all footnotes manually and just dragging Zotero references into Word. One can do that, but be forwarned that you're then responsible for updating references manually. I'd hate to do that myself. It might make sense for Zot…
-
Right; OK.
-
You're absolutely right, and we hope to offer previewing eventually, but it would require a server-based CSL processor Dan this isn't really true unless you assume users must be able to choose their own reference data for meaningful previews, which …
-
See the style repository. If the style you want isn't there, you can indeed create one yourself. The easiest way is to follow the directions for using cslpreview to choose the style that is closest to what you want. You can then take that style from…

Is it common to use BOTH kanji/kana AND rōmaji in the same citation? Yes. In fields like Japanese history, it's the norm I believe.
