Nice. Thanks for calling attention to this site. In the MLZ project, I'm working on support for statutes. The municode site provides structured metadata, so it should be possible to write a reliable translator for it. It will take awhile for me to…

Good suggestion for the name. That was a hasty change made quite some time ago. There will be many variants for local use. The aim at the moment is to get something out there that serves well enough to attract users willing to provide feedback. I'm…

The "Wisconsin Court Style" is the same -- if you'll follow the link, you'll see that a style of with a familiar title is required by Wisconsin statute law. The full name of the guide is a trademark, and we wouldn't want to foster risk of confusion.…

It certainly is useful. If you'd like, I can do the reformatting for you. When I can get to it, I plan to bring up an abbreviations area where these lists can be put on offer.

Maybe the versions I had did not update themselves automatically?It doesn't hurt to reinstall distributed styles from the repository, since they don't update automatically. But it looks like you've just been getting the bibliography form, rather tha…

I have sometimes thought that it would be interesting to extend CSL to support page references as well. In the word processor environment it may not be feasible to implement it (so in that case it might render as "__" anyway), but if a CSL variable …

PS: With Ctl-Alt-A as suggested by adamsmith, I get this (using Chicago Fullnote): Frank G. Bennett Jr., “Getting Property Right: ‘Informal’ Mortgages in the Japanese Courts,” Pac. Rim L. & Pol’y J. 18 (2009): 463–509.

Tania, It looks like the Chicago styles are doing the right thing. In notes, names should be presented in their natural order, and in a note, they are. In the bibliography, the first-listed author should be in sort order (so last name first), and i…

Both the csv and the json contain only journal names and their abbreviations. The json would need to be recast in the form used for input, but the issn and other identifiers are not relevant to abbreviation per se, so there wouldn't be a place for t…

It would probably be safe to remove the terminal period on a citation cluster automagically where the suffix consists only of a single punctuation character. I don't think that would cause collateral issues, but I'll pause a bit before implementing …

I live in the JST timezone, so I was sleeping soundly during this exchange. Very glad to find that it has a happy ending! @nathan.hopson: When the waters are calm and after you submit, it would be great if you could try reproducing the error in sta…

The json link returns "file not found". If you can put it online, I'll be happy to take a look.
-
Discriminating on flanking characters would only be a partial solution, since possessives can occur at the end of a word (i.e. "the Jones' house").
-
This could be handled better, but do try using outer double-quotes in this case and see what happens (as adamsmith suggests). If that doesn't work, I'll take a closer look.

The source code for Zotero is all online in GitHub. You can either copy bits from the repo or make your own fork. In the code layout of the 3.0 branch, the SQL files are at the top of the tree: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/tree/3.0 The Zoter…

A number of languages reverse names from little-endian order (English, Russian, Persian etc). Happily, we have so far been able to discriminate these by their scripts (Latin-1, Cyrillic, Arabic). It sounds like Hebrew should be added to that set. I…

it takes the initials out of some of the citations. It will put them back later and vice versa. I assume that this correct behavior (if initially disconcerting). If you mean that initials appear where they are logically not supposed to do, we'll nee…

This can be controlled in the style, with something like this: The full story is in the CSL Specification

I've just fixed this, but I see Zotero 3.0.8 is out already, and this revision didn't make it in time. To get the fix with 3.0.8, there is a plugin here that you can use to upgrade the processor in a running Zotero. The plugin should disable itself …
-
Yo, that's great news. Thanks for the effort you've put into this. There is no community repository yet, but we can open one. Shall I open a space for lists on GitHub, and reflect it on CitationStylist as a solution for the time being?
-
The first thing to do would be to run the file through a syntax checker. It has to be valid json. Then try taking it in smaller pieces first, to be sure the plugin is functioning correctly on your system. After you have confirmed that your json file…

Fifteen minutes on a 100-cite document is pretty sluggish. We've seen poor performance on documents with 600+ references before, yours is the first report I've seen in the 100-cite range. A new version of the LibreOffice plugin is waiting in the win…
-
Does this affect all documents, or only a large document with many citations? If the latter, how many citations are in the document?
-
Okay, this should be fixed now, in processor release 1.0.353. If the revision makes its way into the upcoming Zotero 3.0.8 release, the problem should go away with the upgrade. (There is a plugin available to fix the issue in 3.0.7, but it's probabl…
-
@whg2n: Actually, I think I've spotted a bug in the code that calls a non-existent term. I should be able to offer a plugin that just fixes the problem. It would be great if you can test it out when it's ready. More news soon.
-
From the citeproc-js code, it looks like this would be caused by a missing locale term (either season-* or month-*). @whg2n: I can provide a plugin for Standalone that may help in diagnosing the exact cause of the fault. Let me know if you'd like m…

I've released a revision to the processor that fixes this. Zotero 3.0.8 is on the verge of release, so if the new processor version makes it into the release, this will heal automatically when you upgrade. You can test the fix immediately (and it w…

I'm able to reproduce the freeze here, and making the year-suffix explicit with doesn't help. This should work, there is clearly a bug in the processor. More soon.
-
Post the whole style. I see what you're wanting to do from the fragment, but we'll need the whole style to test it.

I did code one bit of cross-reference behaviour into the processor, while working on the OSCOLA style. It was for a very specific type of reference -- maritime cases involving a ship, and identified alternatively by the ship's name or by the names o…
