The BibTeX export issue is beyond my domain, unfortunately. In CSL output, the processor does reasonably well with your sample input, if a comma is placed after "Doe". The only anomaly is that "Prof." is reduced to the initial P. That might be an…
-
There might be some adjustments to the handling of these suffixes, in light of user feedback and rethinking on the development side. The suffix could, for example, be appended (in the Zotero entry) to the last name rather than the given name. If y…
-
Sorry I needed a nudge to get back to this. My mumblings above about the processor not supporting the variable turned out to be poppycock; if the variable is passed through by Zotero, it formats just fine in the processor. I've filed a simple patc…
-
Thanks for raising this. In Zotero 2.1, with a couple of small adjustments to the CSL processor, a name with a suffix can be made to render correctly in (Zotero-generated) citations if entered like this: lastName: Gooding firstName: Cuba, Jr. Thi…
-
Yes, with OO under Linux, I get the question marks. Same result whether the dashes are written into the attribute as UTF8 or as numeric entities.
-
I'm unable to reproduce this problem with those links. Just to confirm, you are opening the main three-column Zotero panel once after any restart during testing? Zotero is not aware of the "current" collection until it has been opened and initiali…
-
The replacement of the author's name (with dashes, it should be) is normal -- it's defined in the Chicago style. But the question marks are a bug: they're supposed to show up as em-dashes. Em-dashes are expressed in non-ascii UTF-8, and their corr…

We'll have to wait and see, but as there is clearly bug in the works affecting RDF export, I'd say it's very likely that either this patch or something more efficient will be merged to a 2.0.x release in the reasonably near future. I should mention…
-
mark, That's the way my experimental code works. It flags newly arrived items as "on probation", as it were, and then allows you to open a vetting display where possible clashes between the new arrivals and existing content can be resolved. It pr…
-
I've isolated the problem. As expected, a string-based sort operation takes place, deep in the RDF machinery (in code which does not originate from Team Zotero, I think), which contains the sequence numbers that are meant to keep lists (like the li…
-
I can confirm this behavior. It looks like a sort on an index number is trying to happen internally, but the value is of type "string" rather than type "number". That would explain why the names are in sequence, but those at positions 10 and 11 (in…

In case it's of use, there is a date parser in the citeproc-js source that handles flexible human-readable input of ranges and some other things. It is accompanied by a human-readable test source file, a test grinder, and a copy of the ground-up tes…
-
Bingo. There were sorting issues in 2.0.6. Upgrading should heal things up.
-
Great stuff. Thanks for the sample references; it's very helpful to see the scope of target forms you'll be needing in the short term. I'll take a look this weekend, and post again when I have something to show.
-
This is with Z 2.1 beta, and the Bluebook style that ships with Zotero? If the answers there are both yes, and you can wait a day or two, I'll take a look and see whether the style code I've been working with locally during testing is worth offerin…
-
@pedrobrasil, When you drag an item to another collection inside the same library or group, it doesn't create a new copy (it works, as you say, like gmail). If you drag the item across collections, it does create a separate copy. So (at present, …
-
It appears that number-of-pages has not (yet) been implemented in the CSL processor. I'll remedy that within the next few days. Hooking up from the Zotero interface should be easy to do; I'll look at filing a patch once I get the processor going w…
-
Move the cursor over the field after saving the date, without clicking on the field. It will display the saved data in unambiguous numeric year-month-day form.
-
Good thinking, but I'd be reluctant to do this in the CSL processor. The error rate would be unpredictable, since it would depend on the distribution of given names among the authors being cited (which we can't predict or control). The failures wo…
-
True, an SSRN preprint is distinct from the final journal version. I'm interested in improved SSRN support, though, because it can be useful to students who return to work environments where they don't have access to fee-based aggregators. Perhaps …
-
Yes, with a minor qualification. SSRN doesn't offer clean metadata; the journal name, volume, issue number, page number and year are all munged into a single string. There will be some guesswork involved in extracting those details from the string…
-
@mdwa: Both of your questions are answered in the thread.
-
The HTML-like tags for italics etc. are recognized by the CSL processor in the 2.1 beta. In the user interface, you'll need to type the tags in by hand, and Zotero will not ignore the tag markup for on-screen sorting (as far as I know). But the ba…
-
Looks like Dan made this change a few days ago: r6697.
-
Ah. A followup note here ... I just realized that this is not functionally equivalent for sorting. The original code wanted to bang the recipients result in behind the author/editor/translator block, so that it would serve as the primary key if t…
-
Well, how about that. I tried something lazy, and it worked. Try the version of the Chicago Author-Date style here, and see if it solves the problem: http://gist.github.com/579085 The contributors macro contained a couple of nested macros, invok…
-
The first thing to note is that the citation formatter for 2.0 is slated to be replaced by a new utility in Zotero 2.1 (now under development), and the 2.0 formatter is no longer supported. I'm happy to report that in the development version, the s…
-
pbsturte, prufrockjalf, Can you provide information on your system (OS and version, Firefox version)? The developers may need that info to reproduce the issue and isolate the source of the fault.
-
As a first step, try installing the 2.0 dev xpi and see if that helps. There is a thread on sorting issues here.
-
mheim,Am I right to assume that it is save to adopt the title field tags you link to in your post above (under 4)? Yes, you should be safe relying on those. Rintze had put up guidance notes for his macro workaround that relied on a subset of HTML t…
