@c-sander: I see that you are using a modified version of CMoS. Could you also post the code for that to your space on heimat.de?
-
Oh, that's not good. Sounds like we'll have significant gains if this can be fixed. I'll take a look. If I need advice on how to handle the debugging I'll ping back on zotero-dev.

I always refer our students to UNTS. We don't have a translator for it, but it's a solid source for most official texts. (Not sure how much work it would be to set up a translator for it.)

If you are using the native Zotero RTF scan option, you don't need the plugin, and you should ignore the instructions for it. The instructions for native Zotero RTF Scan are here: https://www.zotero.org/support/rtf_scan That method will yield a …

@ColinWebber Are you downloading the plugin from this page? https://juris-m.github.io/downloads/

There are two ways to go. 1. LibreOffice does not like citations set in tables, text boxes, or figure captions. If you have citations set in any of those locations, try moving (all of) them out, and see how conversion works. 2. Failing that, your sh…

They will be chapter references, so the chapter author, if any, and the title of the work should show, I think. In Juris-M that could be done by tracking book title and book author as a shadow ID, and tying that to a Hereinafter abbreviation, with a…
-
Is that a preferred solution at your end?
-
You could enter the abbreviated form as Book Title and omit all of the other metadata to get the form you want. That would assume that these are disposable references for use only in the document you are currently working on, that will never be shar…
-
If your mail system will handle it correctly, you can put an extension marker on an existing mail address, like myname+zotero2@mailemcom
-
Yes, that's right. (Using the abbreviated form everywhere, with an explanation in the front matter, is actually permitted by Chicago.)
-
Thanks for pinging back. I should have something for you this weekend. There will be one limitation: the abbreviation of the collected works will be applied everywhere, including the first reference. If you want the full form in the very first refer…

Followup fixes submitted. We'll get this right eventually.
-
Ha. Yes, I get the same result. The cause is clear, and I did wonder about when looking through the style. If I had tested with a chapter item, I would have caught it. Fixes coming up shortly ...
-
I think it's sensitive to whether the bibliography is inserted before or after the endnotes, I don't remember which.
-
@adamsmith is too hard on himself.
-
@dstark Should be good now, sorry for the delay.
-
If you need specific cite forms for official documents, it's probably worth exploring Juris-M. https://juris-m.github.io It's designed with flexibility to handle this level of detail, and can apply jurisdiction-specific cite forms, if your work sp…

@AlexanderBurdett I have received a response from CanLII about the lack of structured metadata in the CanLII Articles pages, linking to the discussion here. Their response: Dear Mr. Bennett, Thank you for your feedback. This is a part of our future…
-
@zuphilip Sorry - I think I stupidly responded by mail to the noreply notice from the forum, then didn't follow up when it bounced. I don't know what CanLII policy is, but it might be worth writing to them.

It's caused by this: https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-5-0-36/#faster-citing-in-large-documents If you click Refresh in the document, the cites will be reformatted.
-
Are either of the citations underlined?
-
Thanks. I'll build some tests and see what can be done.
-
@jcmeunier If you can indicate how you want the item to be cited (in text, written out as if in a footnote, verbatim, as it should appear), it will be helpful to @bwiernik.
-
Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
-
I'm confused, maybe I'm missing some context. I'll step over to the library and take a look today.
-
Second question (probably with an obvious answer, but just in case): If the works in the volume all have the same author, you would add the title?
-
Ah - no more Ibid. term in CMS 17?
-
@adamsmith I would like to try a solution to this in Juris-M. There is one use case I'm unsure of. What form does CMS suggest for Ibid. references to the exact work, as opposed to another work (with a different title) in the same volume?
-
Actually what I need is just a simple set if examples that show how you *do* want the cites to appear. The current results are not really an issue, you don't need to illustrate or critique that.
