peterm: see the APA example. It might be a little learning curve to understand XML and using a validating editor like oXygen or emacs nxml mode, but it's a skill that's broadly useful and transferable. Beyond that, there's also some learning curve …

What happens if you remove the tags with the %? Those seem wrong.
-
I'm running into this currently. For example, I would like the Zotero MS-Word integration to generate: "These concepts are found in (Smith 2005a) and also described in (Smith 2005b)." That should work without problem. What does not work correctly…
-
I can't help pointing out that OPML is a really horrible language, and shows little sign of any improvement in v2 (it's author seems neither to understand XML, nor to care). This doesn't necessarily mean Zotero shouldn't export it, but I wouldn't wa…
-
On the CSL end, we're shooting to freeze 1.0 August 31. I expect there may be some features that aren't supported in Zotero at that point, but they can always add that support as needed.
-
It seems the goal for a style browser should be something that lets users search for CSL styles by name (if they know what they want) or browse, (for which examples are essential). Perhaps styles could also be tagged with broad (standardized, perhap…
-
Point them here if they ask about this, and suggest they give Firefox and Zotero a try if they haven't.
-
I also need some text formatting: in biological paper, the scientific name has to be italic. Unless you happening to be using a style that italicizes the title. See here and here. I hope Zotero will do better on this issue than Endnote.
-
scot: your assessment makes a lot of sense. The name for the style comes from the CSL title element. The naming is really designed with the notion that the style be used for formatting of full document, which includes typically both the citation and…
-
Let's leave aside A, B, C labels, since that might be confusing the issue further. When I use the "Note with Bibliography" style I get (once I add the bibliography) a footnote AND an entry in the bibliography. If I change to the "Note without Bib…

Ugh; typical non-standard hack. So how do you know what the base directory is?
-
* Zotero get pretty slow when it's full of items - my current endnote library has almost 1600 items which when imported made Zotero slowed it to a crawl while EndNote handles them effortlessly * I need to use rich text when taking notes Both of the…

Also, I don't really think I was asking you to make any database schema changes. Was just suggesting you store the URI ID in that existing column, rather than an otherwise meaningless (in the sense that it has no connection to the CSL instance) non-…
-
OK, but then it might make sense to include in the documentation a suggestion that if people do want to work on their own styles, they are as careful about the ID URI on the style file as they are on the GUID for Zotero. I suppose an easy approach i…
-
Would be nice if you guys updated your handling of CSL files to be more in the spirit of the spec. A simple example is the ID for a CSL style is a URI (as it is in Atom), but in the Zotero database it's a GUID. Can you not make that change now? You …
-
If all of that is right, then it looks to me there's a bug in the implementation of macros. I can't see anything that would cause the title macro to add the parentheses.
-
mc: this is not a smart way to organize your data, as index numbers are specific to a particular database instance.
-
I don't think that file is valid against the new schema.
-
Yep, "case" is probably not a good term to use generally speaking. A "case" may have several "decisions" rendered by various courts during it's life. OK, but so how should we model this? What are the conceptual objects, and what are the relations be…
-
Dan -- what's the backward compatibility story? Bottomline: I've got an almost-done manuscript created with the old plug-in. What should I do so as to avoid major problems?
-
i don't think its Zotero's role to have a GUI for the creation of CSL files. a new project could be started for a 'CSL Editor', as CSL could be used in another kind of application. but for sure i won't complain having it directly in zotero :) I thin…
-
There is no tutorial; we're hoping to address that, but I'm just too busy. Are you validating against the new draft schema I link to above? An example APA style is here.
-
It's a pretty crucial feature, especially for author-date styles.
-
This isn't really a Zotero question, since the style language (CSL) is independent of this project, but ... First, make sure you use the updated schema. Within that, you can use something like (not validated, so make sure you check): …
-
You can get a sense in the CSL locale files; see this example.
-
chrisalbon: if you can figure out how to read RELAX NG (which is really easy as far as XML schema languages go) take a look at the current draft schema. In that same directory there's an APA style that is a good model. If you have any questions, pos…
-
First, I don't speak for Zotero. Second, I think my earlier comments stand. I don't see any evidence that Pages is any more open or extensible than previous versions (though I could be wrong; might be that Apple just isn't promoting it). For OS X …
-
Quick followup idea: we could also treat decision, dissenting opinion, etc. as relations.
-
If his suggested names are too long, then the overall point is this: For people using notes, either foot or end, the bibliography formatting is the same. In addition, the formatting of the notes is the same whether they go at the bottom of the page …
-
I don't see how you can do that with the current approach, which essentially takes some short-cuts to say that the author by definition refers to the book. With the "hierarchical" model that's been under discussion, you'd assign author to the appro…
