@Isis, MLZ has seen quite a bit of tidying up in the last month, it might be worth a look again when you have time. I've added a pull-down menu for jurisdictions, so you no longer need to type in that finger-aching-awkward {:jurisdiction:us;federal…

(As you can see, it's a very pro-active list. :)

@Savage.Disarray, The Abiword project and its forums would probably be the place to check, since whoever undertook it would need to know the Abiword internals pretty well. The hardest part might be lining up maintenance, to be sure the plugin is up…

This would require extension of the formatting language, so the first port of call would be the CSL discussion list at xbiblio-devel.
-
It would be a third-party project. Perhaps Kickstarter? Someone would have to step forward to produce a proposal and offer to coordinate the project if enough funds come in.

Also, this screencast should probably be removed: http://www.zotero.org/support/screencast_tutorials/annotation

I think the highlighting and sticky notes features are on their way out. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10192/highlighting-problem-highlights-all-text-also-need-for-undo-button/#Item_9

An update should fix it for you now. Thanks for the early report.
-
No problem, sorry for the glitch. More soon.

Great to hear! It should be smart enough that a supplementary field in "romanized Farsi" (fa-alalc97) or in one of the phonetic scripts or whatever will be handled as LTR. There has been a parallel report about RTL parens in exported citations, wh…
-
Take two. In that release, editing of creators was actually broken, so I've gone ahead and set up RTL for both creators and dates. The cosmetics for creators are a just a little bumpy, but it all seems to be working now.
-
I think I have a handle on how the parens problem can be controlled. I'll need sample data to test a solution. When you have time to put that together, I'll take a look.
-
One further point of info. The direction switch only applies to ordinary fields: creators and dates are unaffected. If anyone has occasion to enter mixed-text institutional names or dates, this can be revisited -- it's not a huge problem to implemen…
-
If you update again, you should get something closer to the mark. This gives you RTL field content across the board on entries that have an RTL language code in the Language field. It can be overridden with left-click + select on individual fields (…
-
No, that's the right version. It just hasn't yet solved the problem because I'm stumbling around in the dark. :-) It looks like providing a means of inserting the RTL/LTR strong hint characters as you suggest is what's needed. Back in a bit ...
-
Sounds good. I'll just provide a reference cross-link for the present, until z2csl is ready to take over completely.
-
I've put up a fresh release of the MLZ client, you should be able to acquire it either by updating or by reinstalling. If you set "fa" in the Language field for an entry in Farsi, mixed-text editing should behave normally. Changing the language tag …
-
Great, thanks. Testing suggests that the approach outlined above will work. It looks like RTL languages will consist of: Arabic (ar) Hebrew (he) Farsi (fa) Urdu (ur) Yiddish (yi) Pashto (ps) Any of these might be cast in an…
-
If an entry is tagged in the Language field as being an RTL language (such as "fa" for Farsi), a first-cut solution will be to set dir="rtl" on the data entry page as a whole. If that works for primary entries, we can then look at more fine-grained …
-
That looks like it should be applying the initial correctly. Is the input a bare initial with no period, or a full name that is reduced to initials when the citation is produced? I don't think the processor will attempt to fix things up in the forme…
-
Ah, I follow. The problem occurs in the UI (in MLZ itself) not when citations are generated? We'll deal with that first, and then see whether further hints are needed in the citation layer. I'll have a look at a possible adjustment. More soon.
-
(We crossed in the post. Your explanation is very clear, there is no need for a screenshot. If you can put up sample data, I'll play around a bit and see if I can come up with a fix.)
-
I have an inkling of where the problem may lie, from this W3C document on bi-directional text. Probably the way to handle this will be to apply directional markup to the field content in the output, for the RTL languages. We already have the basic …
-
This is with an in-text citation, and the bad formatting extends beyond the Zotero citation?
-
True, well spotted.
-
Come to think of it, "year-suffix" is also a misnomer. It provides disambiguation for cites that would otherwise be identical, and when included explicitly, it doesn't depend on the presence of a date in the output. It could be used directly to prov…
-
The style works fine for me too, I get a hyphen in the output if there is a hyphen in the input.

@aurimas: Shall I redirect the old gsl-nagoya-u.net pages to this address?
-
For the initials issue, it sounds like an initialize-with="." attribute is missing on a cs:name node somewhere in the style. The repository Bluebook style isn't very actively maintained, but you can fix it up yourself. There is guidance here. The p…

The editor might have difficulties with invalid CSL code. Be sure that you validate your style before loading it to the editor: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Validation
