Or even easier (and probably more correct, since it's an xml tool): $ xmllint --format foo.csl See also this blog post for an nxml mode tweak (though I've not used it).
-
Random, but possibly dumb, thought: what about a kind of auto-complete inline citation feature that built on the pandoc markdown extensions for citations? E.g. you type ... [@smith ... and you'd get help to pick the right reference without having t…

A journal database provider is NOT anything like a publisher, any more than Borders is because it happens to be where you buy a book (can you tell I agree with previous comments that this is a dumb rule?). As I've said elsewhere, it's more like a "…

I just tested this (OpenOffice 3.2, Zotero 2.1b, Ubuntu 10.10) with Nature and do NOT see the same behavior. Looks fine to me. [shrug]
-
What's the ETA on your writing project? Can't you just continue to work on it using your current zotero install, then upgrade (likely pretty soon) when 2.1 goes final?

It's been awhile, but I think we added better support for AAA in CSL 1.0. I believe one of the examples on this demo page is similar? http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-demo/demo.html
-
Just to make something perfectly clear for anyone new to this: http://www.google.com/search?q=thomson+reuters+lawsuit+endnote+zotero So don't blame Zotero for this, and do contribute towards a dramatically more open alternative (in this case, a CS…

Given that both applications are free, why don't you just put them through the paces and determine for yourself which you prefer?
-
Try removing the name-as-sort-order attribute entirely (you don't want it as sort order; you want as display order).

The question is over whether an invisible difference in the author list (masked by et al. truncation) should block collapsing. Yes, this is another way to boil it down: to shift focus to the et al handling, rather than the suffix generation.
-
Bigger picture, it'd be nice to move citations in OOo/LO to use the new RDF metadata fields, and to do in a way that ensures document portability.
-
Yes, I think the citation rule should be configured to add the names in that case (or, as I say, we need to change CSL to allow different rules; even conceivable we change et al rules to avoid ambiguous pointers automatically, but am not sure how th…
-
So I think this is clearly something that needs substantial clarification. I stand by my argument that, at least in the majority of the social sciences, "Jane Doe and John Smith" are treated as different authors than "Jane Doe and John Jones". Thi…
-
But -- what if the full author list isn't shown anywhere in the style? Nowhere. A subsequent reader will just have to guess which (Smith, et al. 2000) refers to which Smith, et al. 2000. [..] in the bibliography? I'd say that's a bad style. :-) The…

I don't quite understand your argument - you seem to be saying that el als with different second authors shouldn't be disambiguated by a year suffix? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. How is sorting of the reference list supposed to work correct…
-
Maybe it's just that I haven't yet had my morning coffee, but my view is this is NOT a bug. Explanation (which we can add to the CSL spec if needed): Year suffix indices are intended to disambiguate multiple items from the same author in the same …

Well, it's always going to take a little frontend work to get the backend benefits of a database. But as adam says, grabbing data from amazon, etc. is super easy with zotero.
-
The IcedTea developers have not communicated with me regarding this issue despite repeated attempts to contact them. Bummer. Does that contact include a public bug report?
-
Yeah, I was just providing information for broader consideration. Sorry I can't help you directly.
-
I'd say be a little patient and see if people here can help you. I previously had Zotero and OOo running nicely on Ubuntu. As luck would have it, though, I just did a clean reinstall the other day, installed the latest betas of both Zotero and the …
-
I actually think your description suggests you don't need to use the citation processing in these cases at all (which are really only needed for manuscripts; ones that may need to subsequently be reformatted in another style); just do as ajlyon sugg…
-
For me the issue isn't what other category can be used, but rather an accurate record of the item type. That's why I suggested some title like "Web Publication", or allowing to the user to create their own either from start, or by copying an existin…
-
You don't need a custom type to be able to do that; just use Document or Web Page. And if you need additional fields for those, then add the suggestion to this thread.
-
Good. But how about post the updated file on gist.github.com so that we can fold that into the repository?
-
I don't really see the value-added against the additional complexity. If you need some structure to your notes, use section headings, lists, etc.?
-
... maybe some of the csl folks can chime in about how they see things developing as more people contribute csl 1.0 styles. I'm really trying to move 1.0+ style development off zotero svn, but have yet to hear from anyone on the zotero side about th…
-
You know, people here are saying these fields are needed, but aren't citing any practical case for them. I've cited a lot of newspapers in my research, but never come across volume and issue numbers (which seems rather unnecessary given how they're …
-
But Dan, that information can also be put in a description field, or a title.

But a subject is not a creator.
