That's a good point. I may build it in anyway, though. Language-tagged entries will process correctly on both sides of the divide in any case, so it shouldn't do any harm.
-
We could set up to presume non-English field content in styles that have default-locale set to a non-English value. I'm holding a processor release until mid-week, if anyone has views on that, let me know.
-
Opening up strip-periods on that element probably wouldn't do any harm. Meanwhile, though, you can use term="and others" for the non-period term, and redefine it in the style.

Have you been through the steps for debugging broken documents?

@adamsmith, Looks like you're the voice of the community! There's really nothing to be done for this without access to the language field of the target item. Assuming that it will eventually be passed through, I'll set up the processor to disable …

@liam.mchugh.russell, I'm bundling up some changes for a new processor release. Looking at this strip-periods issue, and after running the tests in a couple of configurations, I've concluded that you're right: strip-periods should do just that, wit…

Excellent. No need for further testing, then.

@gestauffer, We have a new tool that allows us to capture the exact input seen by the citation formatter in your document. If you're willing to give it a try, it should tell whether your sort issue is reproducible on other systems. Here are the ste…

You might well be right about the preferred behavior of strip-periods. The advantage of the current behavior is that it produces the same output regardless of whether or no the period is followed by a space in the input. That's not much help if the …

At the moment, I reckon that the chances of it will becoming valid in the reasonably near future are pretty good. There is always a risk of the person closest to the code being blinkered by implementation details, though, and I've certainly had that…
-
We probably shouldn't allow that one either. :) Seriously, though, it's a little more complicated under the hood than it looks on the surface. Here's a more-or-less full rundown. The most obvious problem is that, if the processor is extended to wr…

Just guessing, but the issue raised by Rintze was probably a similar issue with initialize-with~" ", which now works correctly. The strip-periods attribute is not allowed on the cs:name node in the CSL 1.0 schema. I can see that it's useful there (…

The developers are aware of this issue, certainly. The citeproc-js processor used in Zotero 2.1 has the capability to include a selection of cited items in a bibliography (or bibliographies), but implementing that functionality will require changes …
-
@clearly, According to the developers of Mendeley Desktop, the current version uses an earlier version of citeproc-js (1.0.114). Most of the issues in your list are due to data that is not being passed through to the processor. The earlier processo…

Yes, we don't yet have a means of testing for the presence/absence of the day element in a date.

What does revealing codes show (step 8)?
-
It probably doesn't need to be said, but be sure you have a backup of your data and documents, if you don't already. It's cheap insurance. Assuming that you are trying to edit Zotero citations on the same computer on which the document was original…

clearly is using MendeleyAha. Thanks for catching that. I'll check on that side and see what the environment is like. @clearly: Properly speaking, any limitations that arise from the processor version and field assignments in Mendeley will be matte…

For an in press journal, the words "In press" are missing after the list of authors (in place of year).This, too, needs to be entered in the Extra field using the "cheater" syntax:{:status: in press}
-
... [a]lso, for an in press journal article, they strangely call for all authors to be listed the same, the last author is not supposed to be separated by an ampersand.I took this one as a typo. It might be worth checking with the editors on whether…

For a report, the number of pages is not consistently applied. So for the test data, for the report authored by Ashford, there is no number of pages required (and I suspect because the report number replaces the number of pages when available, as fo…
-
For a book, number of pages don't seem to be showing up.As far as I can tell, this should be working. The style renders the number-of-pages variable for a book in tests okay, and the number-of-pages variable is mapped through from its counterpart in…
-
@clearly: If you can be tempted to undertake an experiment, there is a new tool you could use to provide exact guidance for the design. It's a citation feedback plugin for Firefox, that you can use to submit tests based on the actual data in a docum…

@clearly, I'm finally getting to this today. Sorry for the prolonged delay. One question:For a journal, page numbers are replaced by DOI number if it is available.Is that descriptive or prescriptive? Should the style be adjusted to behave this way?
-
Cut and paste does not preserve the Zotero links? That's always worked for me. Does it not work on all platforms?
-
Dan: Thanks for this info!
-
@seans_potato_biz: You should check that you are doing your edits against a CSL 1.0 version of the style. After making changes, be sure to run your revised style through a validator, to be sure it's not broken. For info: http://www.zotero.org/suppo…

Yep. The field normally takes things like the "cf. " in "cf. Smith 2000". They're different use cases, so for the present, at least, you just need to take care.
-
Here are some breadcrumbs. It appears to have been an incidental change that entered the code at r1291, during a period of intensive work to extend, refine and debug features in the 1.0 branch. In trunk (seriesTitle only) cite.js@743Closes #63, Add…

I researched this in SVN once, but I've unfortunately lost the links since. IIRC the two fields appeared during a period of large structural changes in the code. One or the other might have been the consequence of a merge between branches. The check…
