codec: the AAG style guide is here [pdf]. I can help out with it as well, at least to look over it, so ideally you'd load it in the Zotero SVN (which I think I have write access to; will have to find out!).
-
I don't speak for Zotero, but on the styles issue, you'd want to probably submit the style to the new repository. Information there should probably explain how things would work.
-
Dan: can we come up with an answer for the question we both skipped, and that I brought up recently in a different context: "Is there currently a repository where we can share our own citation style ?" As for: How far are we from an easy-way to cre…
-
Dan: does libxml now support the compact (non-XML) syntax? In the past it didn't. If not, you'd need to first convert the schema to the XML syntax using Trang, or use RNV instead (which is really excellent; faster and smaller than libxml, if less f…
-
To add to the frustration, every time I import my single file, a new (completely unnecessary) collection created. When I delete them, the items are deleted from the library. So now I guess I have to go through the tedium of manually opening each f…
-
The problem is, people are assuming notes are ordered, but they are not. I'd suggest that Zotero allow a choice of sorting keys for notes, just as it does in the table view of the library. As I've said before, I'd be extremely leery of hard-coding…

I've done a custom format for an open university course I'm on (A251) although most of mine are S courses. This course has its own weird rules, but has some Harvard like syntax. Some of the rules are specific to this course, so I don't think its wor…
-
Oh, for Dan, I'd suggest that instead of this: http://www.zotero.org/namespaces/CSL/AMA.csl ... Zotero hosted styles use something like: http://zotero.org/styles/ama E.g. a) all lower-case, b) strip the extension, and c) more compact/direct …
-
Kudos on this codec. If you can, please make a list of terms you think should be added based on your work on these styles, and post them to the xbib dev list so I can add them to the schema and the locales files.
-
and I just noticed and I'm not sure if CSL can handle this or not. When citing a page range that's more than 3 digits it should be e.g. 1557-70 not 1557-1570. No, CSL does not handle this, because it's a large can-of-worms. These kinds of shortening…
-
Hmm ... I can't help but wonder if the problem might not be related to the fact that you're using such an old version of Word? Have you searched the forums to see if anyone else reported this issue?
-
Are you wanting to cite the introduction? Also, is Robinson the editor too? In any case, I think you're probably stuck with having to be creative (like maybe adding the main author name to the title?). The current way a book section is handled i…
-
connie: when I wrote "the way you deal with it" I should have been more clear: I meant it's how the Zotero team should deign the data model and GUI. So you can't yet do this, but this will get fixed sometime in the future. Examples like interviews …
-
And can someone please address my questions/concerns above? Among other things, would it be possible for you to give these styles cool URIs; e.g. something like and to actually make them get-able (even if Zotero doesn't yet load them from URI)?
-
scot: yes, you can flatten the fields (though I forget now the key-combination to do this). So yes, the best approach is to finish the manuscript, and when you're done, make a copy of it, flatten the citations, and edit them. At that point, of cou…
-
The same. (nxml mode is excellent!)
-
BTW, I just validate one of your files (1); it's not valid ;-)
-
Is there not one definitive reference for Harvard? Googling suggests perhaps not, but it would be nice if we could clarify ideally one "Harvard" style. Also, on this process ... First, manually downloading and copying-and-pasting files is too muc…
-
connie: I think you misunderstood my "is this a practical problem?" question. I know it is if you strictly follow Chicago, and feel the need to go through and hand-edit every citation. What I'm asking is, do you really have to strictly follow it o…
-
Notwithstanding the Chicago guidelines, is this really that big of a practical problem? IMHO, supporting it would probably add needless complexity to the citation style language (and Zotero's code).
-
A trivial amount of googling would show that it would not be straightforward. There's no point in Zotero devs wasting limited resources supporting a browser that, beyond requiring tons of additional work to support, is essentially platform-specific.
-
That's not really the right solution to the problem. We need an editor for CSL, and to build up the number of available styles. I've suggested to my colleague that one workaround is when you''re done with your manuscript to flatten the fields, and …
-
Read the FAQ please.
-
Depends what you mean. If you have those citations entered in your Endnote database, then you can move that data over. But you'd still need to re-add the citation fields themselves, since Endnote and Zotero have their own way to encode them (unfortu…
-
Thanks Elena. Yes, I know. But it's not exactly ideal, and is another example that shows the warts of the current model. I'm just trying to document these for future reference. I'd probably agree with MTBradley's notion that there should be a "venu…
-
Articles with DOIs use that instead of a retrieval date/url/databasename combination. To be more precise, the rule is then: if DOI, use DOI else if URL, use URL This goes back to the fact that it is incorrect to store the URI for the journal data…
-
Thanks for your comment. Do I understand it the right way: it is not possible to create a bibliography-table out of the entries that are inserted by zotero? It is possible to generate a bibliography; I'm just telling you that this process is complet…
-
No. The current OOo bib API and ODF support is too limited. ODF 1.2 will be getting a really killer new metadata system based on RDF, that will be suitable for this use case. Ideally, we can update the OOo API to use that instead, and Zotero can th…
-
The style has not been updated, but needs to be (since the current styles use the old schema). I'd guess there may have been some accidental change in the code that accounts for the problem.
-
Codec: thank you, thank you, thank you for doing the work I should have done a long time ago! This is a really nice start. It would be good if we could further develop it and move it (or at least the general stuff not specific to zotero) to the CSL…
