• Version 209. If a reference contains: a.b. authorsurname1, c. author2, d.e. author3 The bibliography appears as: a.b. authorsurname1, c.a, yyyy The text body shows ... (a.b. authorsurname1, yyyy) ... The requirements ar…

• The need to refresh is not strong so this seems a good idea. Will changes in the editor dialogue window mode affect the bibliography database? An example where this is used is a sentence which may be in parentheses and textual citation avoids e…

• The suppress author command does not solve this requirement. Also, if the field is manually edited to remove the parenthethes, after reload/refresh of the document the zotero fields show the parenthethes to be re-inserted. This means that the citati…

• A secondary heading within 'getting help', section 5. A short sentence about posting rules and then a new page 'how to post to the forum(s)' with sections about each part of the forum, post rules, etc.

• May I suggest that your advice about posting (space limit, creating two posts) and using 'gist' is added to the documentation?

• Also realised that it is possible to copy a bibtex item to the clipboard which is then imported directly into zotero. So perhaps the best way for bibtex users is to make one first import into zotero; make new bibtex entries in the original bibt…

• Originally, the bibtex file was formatted: @articlex, abstract=... @bookx author=... So article Y would be added after article X. No particular reason, but the bibtex file was organised by entry type (probably following the descripti…

• It seems that if items in the library are deleted and the new bibtex import contains copies of the items, a document which was created with (deleted) items shows a dialogue window stating that references are lost. The references then need to be re-e…

• The citation style element 'bibliography' looks as below. Please advise where the element should go. In seems that there are many insertions of this element already. Is the attribute 'variable=note"' supposed to be added to each text element within…

• When the import function is enabled, data appears both in a child directory (with a default name of the time, date of import) of the library and in the (parent) library directory itself. It would be better if imported items remained only in a c…

• I used the address chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul to select the Harvard citation style from the menu. I copied the csl (which validates as xml according to the text editor jedit) and made the change as advised. See below. The csl file wa…

• Could you explain where the documentation states that the attribute 'initialize-with' has the effect you describe (to learn for future reference). Thanks. Now, the citation text in the text body (writer) is: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, (Au…

• OK, understood. Alternatively, is it possible to operate firefox (and zotero) on a network server and users would add citation references using the network installation?

• I don't understand the difference between files and data. The document 'sync' describes synchronisation of everything except attachment files. Does this mean that if a webdav server is created on a company network, only attachment files would be syn…
