• Thank you for this report; sorry that it has taken me some time to get to it, I've been on the road for the past two weeks. You have identified two bugs in citeproc-js, which have been fixed in a fresh release of the processor, which will find its w…

• just set the attributes with the desired values on the name element nested within each of the relevant names elements. It's pretty straightforward. Take a look at the specification and the upgrade notes first, but if you get stuck feel free to post …

  in managing both "et al", and "full names" in the bibliography Comment by fbennett March 22, 2011
• Thank you for this very thorough report. It looks as though you're encountering a bug in the parallel citation code, intended to support legal styles. Parallel citation support is implemented entirely in the processor itself, by analyzing the struct…

• Zotero 2.1 won't do this automatically, but you could edit the bibliography at the last stage of production.

• As an immediate fix, you should be able to adjust the settings of the style applied to the bibliography elements (in the word processor).

• Last but not least, I was wondering, is there any possiblilty to add wild-card characters (garde-place) with zotero until the document is finally formatted and the wild-card characters can be replaced by the original reference/reference to a footnot…

• I have just push out a release of the processor (1.0.125) that fixes the problem with the restriction to a single institutional author. I likely won't be able to look at senovsky's style for a week or so (I'm on the road, and quite busy with other …

• In my understanding, there is nothing wrong with that output. \uc0\u8220{} is what the processor outputs under the hood for a right-quote character in RTF, and the word processor should render it as such. If that's not happening, let's take a closer…

• I'm leaving on an overseas trip, and will be out of touch for several days. Will get to this when I'm able.

  in Z2.1rc1 Partial Name cutoff Comment by fbennett March 11, 2011
• Thanks for reporting this, I'll check into it. This is a separate issue inside the code, but related insofar as it's about final tuning of names handling. (Edit: It will be a couple of days before this is addressed.)

  in Z2.1rc1 Partial Name cutoff Comment by fbennett March 11, 2011
• Okay, news. The processor bug I mentioned above is unrelated; the processor was failing to update citations in which the number of names changed (for disambiguation) as a result of adding a new reference with a similar list of authors. I've fixed t…

• The abbreviation lists facility is still experimental, and limited to the processor. It is not part of the CSL language, and Zotero doesn't currently talk to that part of the processor API. If it is eventually hooked up, there will be menu support i…

• Thanks for the pointer. I've moved the icons across from the current 2.1rc2 xpi. They should turn up in the next test release update. I'm working on a minor processor bug now, but that will be finished soon, and when it's done I'll push the new clie…

  in [Multilingual] Reports on 2.1 features missing in multilingual Comment by fbennett March 10, 2011
• I haven't yet turned to your own style (I'll do that tomorrow, it's late here); but in Chicago Fullnote with Bibliography, it looks like the processor is doing everything correctly, but updates are not being populated back into the document. If I en…

• There is definitely something wrong here. Please wait for news.

  in Z2.1rc1 Partial Name cutoff Comment by fbennett March 10, 2011
• Sure thing, I'll take a look. Can you put the style online, either on your server or at http://gist.github.com/, and post the link back here? For this, you actually won't need to simplify the CSL; we just need to take a look at the et-al values. (Ed…

  in Z2.1rc1 Partial Name cutoff Comment by fbennett March 10, 2011
• This is not likely to happen at this point, although it's an interesting idea. The developers are currently finalizing a new version of the software (2.1), and will be attending only to bugs in existing functionality for the next several weeks. You …

  in Zotero in TAB-Mode - arrangment of fields Comment by fbennett March 10, 2011
• I will investigate the behavior of the processor if there are reports of a fault, but you would need to be more specific. If you have a simple block of CSL and a small data set that produce incorrect results (not a whole style, and not an entire man…

• Fast service for you today. Zotero 2.1rc2 is out. If you update Zotero, you should find that this problem has gone away.

  in broken apostrophe in Word with 2.1b7 Comment by fbennett March 10, 2011
• I don't have Word 2007 handy, but I can confirm this. The processor is delivering the character U+02bc in this case, but the recommended character for apostrophe is U+2019. I'll check in a fix to the processor, which should become available soon if…

• In 2.1, if you keep all of your content filed in a folder somewhere, the contents of an accidentally deleted folder can be identified via the "Unfiled items" virtual collection. It's not undo, but depending on your workflow, it can serve as a close …

  in Folder deletion=TOO dangerous - Correct pls Comment by fbennett March 9, 2011
• Now, that is very odd. I just checked again, and found again that tab would not advance to the next field, but only saved to the current field. Then I went into the profile hierarchy, unpacked the XPI, deleted the jar file, and added a string to the…

• There are too many changes to the UI in multilingual under the hood, it wouldn't be safe. But it looks as though the Javascript may just be failing silently after the save, leaving the field selected but failing to fully execute the tab jump (I'm su…

• Watched the screencasts, tried on a couple of systems here. Under Linux with the 2.1rc1 client, hitting tab on a field that has the autofill pulldown open closes the field (the behavior on first-entry in your first screencast). It does not push forw…

• Understandable at this stage of the new client's development. Things will get easier as it earns your trust.

  in Modifying word plug-in: Using journal abbreviation instead of publication name Comment by fbennett March 7, 2011
• That works fine in the processor outside of Zotero, and the relevant code hasn't changed in quite a long time. The name of the macro might be confusing in your CSL. Is it possible you're accidentally calling the data with , and not ?

  in Modifying word plug-in: Using journal abbreviation instead of publication name Comment by fbennett March 7, 2011
• I suppose that the Report type is closest, since it has a field for a number and label. In the sample cite you list, are those parallel cites, or individual references, some of which are in short form (sorry, I don't know UN materials at all well ..…

  in Style Request: [Leiden Journal of International Law] Comment by fbennett March 7, 2011
• UN Documents are one of quite a number of issues that need to be resolved around legal citation storage in the first instance, and styles as well. There is no established set of conventions that I know of, but we do need them. There was a discussion…

• A fix for this issue has been included in a fresh processor release, and I see that the core developers have just picked it up on the trunk. The new code will be included in the next Zotero 2.1 release candidate which, given the fact of this particu…
