I've taken a look. The adjustments required are not major. I'll post proposed changes to GitHub, and once they are reviewed, the translator should start working against the Advanced thingme within a day or so. (Edit: Changed "not minor" to "not maj…

@ellentje: Are you producing documents via BibTeX, or using the word processor plugins?
-
Testing with 3.0.8 and the standard CMS Fullnote under Linux and LibreOffice, I get printable dashes. As far as I know there is no variation for this across platforms: it should work. It would be good to know why high-bit ASCII in the attribute is …

Thanks for reporting back, that's very good to hear.
-
The Jr or III go at the end of the Zotero given name field, rather than the surname/family name -- adamsmith's example is correct. I've fixed the stale "like this" links above.
-
Aha. Sorry for the misdirection.
-
Look in the style for "page-first", and change it to "page".
-
Maybe add this above line 233 (between the starting bibliography tag and the starting layout tag):
-
At line 47, just change text-case="uppercase" to font-variant="small-caps"
-
That's the stuff. Try installing this plugin and see if you get better results.
-
Updated abbreviation lists, supporting many words and phrases recommended by A Uniform System of Citation and expansion of the urn:lex jurisdiction codes for US Federal and state jurisdictions, are now available from CitationStylist.
-
A proposed list of urn:lex jurisdiction codes is now available for review. This list will provide fresh data for the Abbreviations Plugin and (in due course) a helper extension to the MLZ user interface.
-
Carl Malamud also pointed us at this, which provides the same information with a transparent URL scheme: http://openjurist.org/us-court
-
@rintze: A search for "District Court" returns 16 pages of results. Try retrieving page 2 with a script. I have something in place now that extracts the necessary data from the US Code, so the maintenance problem has been solved. Just a matter of w…
-
Alternatively, we may just scrape the list from the US Code, which is served without dancing icons, .NET session keys, elaborate encoding schemes or allergy-inducing flavinoids by the good folks at the Cornell LII. Info starts at Title 28, Section 8…

It's actually very important to get a list of court names in place before the book goes out. I've spent some time experimenting with various headless browser bundles that claim the ability to handle pages driven by Javascript in one way or another. …
-
The Court Locator facility offered by the courts themselves appears to be a nightmare zone of obfuscation. Transactions on the page are sessioned, and from the json data embedded in various cookies, it appears that page requests are driven by a si…
-
I can't seem to find a simple list of Federal court names anywhere. The best source appears to be the Court Locator page. It uses some sort of indecipherable Flash thing as a front-end, but the actual lists behind it are keyed to US postal codes, so…
-
Hahaha. The first thing we need to solve this is a comprehensive list of courts in the US, at the Federal and (hopefully) state level. "Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation" provides insanely complete lists of law review titles and their abbreviat…
-
For anything that comes out with a capital V in the case name, the processor somehow missed the jurisdiction value. There is probably just a syntax error in the brace-enclosed value (for the US SCt, it should be "{:jurisdiction:us}"). Thinking abou…
-
It's very clear now, thanks for the additional information. Zotero is designed for what you want to do (organise research materials in advance of writing), but it will not be able to import everything automatically for you. For published materials,…
-
Are your resources PDF files, or are they in some other format?
-
About subsequent history, there is no magic for those yet; they need to be crafted by hand, using the affix fields on each cite. They could be handled by using data from the Related tab, but that is quite a long way off. What we do handle automatica…
-
The documents on your computer are articles and books that you wish to cite in your own writing?
-
Do you have the Abbreviations Plugin installed (also from http://citationstylist.org)? You'll need that, plus some abbreviations data, to get those transforms working. I'll take a look at this soon -- the processor and styles have only been run in …
-
So the cite is coming out correctly, but with an incorrect form for "District Court" (which should be suppressed) and "us;federal;ma" (which should be "D. Ma."? If so, that's just because the Abbreviations Plugin data has not yet been filled out. We…
-
@Isis: What adamsmith said. :) The styles rely on some small but significant changes in the way the citation processor is invoked. The necessary adjustments are provided by MLZ. That's not a permanent situation; we're pioneers in this, and once we'v…
-
Do you have track changes turned on in the word processor? (And which word processor and plugin are you using?)
-
It sounds like you may not be specifying the jurisdiction. There are examples here: http://citationstylist.org/proofsheets/cases/ Court names will work best with the Abbreviations Plugin installed. I don't have lists up yet, but there will be some …
-
I have, actually, and he has been very supportive. Although I was pretty annoyed (to say the least), with distance in time I can see that the issue there is likely to blow over. Our focus now is on making positive progress. I'm working on a book on …
