From the HTML5 doc linked by Bruce:User agents could be instructed to ignore any unrecognised CALSCALE value, treating the contents of the element as plain text for data-processing (but not styling) purposes.It's safe to say that Zotero 2.1 is likel…
-
Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to rely on things like this (quote escaping a field) for complex formatting, since other CSL processors (including the one that will be in Zotero 2.1) might handle them differently, thus breaking your style. …
-
You might be able to get passthrough out of the current Zotero by enclosing the date field in quotes. Not sure.
-
Regarding the various ways of formatting plain uncertain dates, CSL 1.0 will have is-uncertain-date as a test attribute, so you'll be able to do pretty much anything with affixes and whatnot. The only unsolved problem involving fuzzy dates appears …
-
Alternative calendars are off the development map, I'm afraid, at least for the time being. When I work with pre- and early-Meiji Restoration materials from Japan, dates in the sources are in the lunar calendar, with intercalary months and only a l…

MG6, We hear you. In fact, the handling of fuzzy dates with ranges is currently ticketed as an issue for the citeproc-js CSL processor, put there by a library technologist with exactly the same concern. What would be very helpful is a list of exa…

Oby, Have some good news for you, although it will take awhile to come on stream. Here are screenshots of French and American cases, generated in Zotero 2.1, both by the same style. They require discrimination similar to what you describe: http:…

The citation formatter in Zotero 2.1 (development of which is in progress) implements CSL 1.0, which supports rich text in titles. Details are here.
-
I don't know if this will still be an issue with the anticipated "new" zotero csl processorIt won't be. :)
-
Try putting (English-style) quotation marks around the content of the field and see if that helps.

One of my colleagues is head of a funded project that has done some impressive work on annotated video, both on the system side and in content development (legal skills instructional materials). Their current platform is a closed source tool develo…
-
Doesn't having multiple "default-locale" values kind of abuse the spirit of the attribute (which really suggests a singular value)?Yep. It's not a very nasty abuse, though, since the language strings conform to the RFC 4646 that you recommended, an…
-
A small update on this. The citeproc-js processor has been deployed in the trunk version of Zotero. I've done some testing, and found that the multi-lingual input scheme described in the processor manual works. It's not pretty in the user interfa…
-
The processor-side infrastructure for the solution I described above is implemented and ready to go. [1] [2] It wouldn't take significantly more work (possibly less) to tie into this infrastructure, and it would be less risky (because it would not…
-
Looks like a conference paper type to me. Either way, a field needs to be opened up for the target type, in the UI, of course (not in the database -- the field is there, access to it is just a bit too restricted in the schema and the CSL mapping ta…
-
Yes, it sounds like it's an Open Office issue. In the new CSL processor, we could possibly add a word joiner before and after parens, braces and brackets when used in affixes, which should force the word processor to behave correctly in this situat…
-
There's a tick-box at the bottom of gear menu -> Preferences -> Styles that may help. (Actually, what adamsmith said.)
-
Can you post links to publicly accessible sample articles that don't work for you?
-
A simple sync from a second machine certainly shouldn't cause original entries to disappear; Zotero sync is pretty careful about that sort of thing. It's up to you, of course, but it might be worth spending a little time, with help from the list, i…
-
It looks like everything is now in place in the Zotero trunk xpi (except for the patch for displaying title info). This should be used only for testing at this point, not for production, but you can install it in a separate Firefox profile and try …
-
Names handling in the citeproc-js processor is described here (scroll down to the part on "non-Byzantine" names -- terrible nomenclature, forgive me). Basically, for non-Western scripts, we automagically render names in sort order ("family" name fi…
-
The "Title" shown in the Zotero UI is composed by a function getDisplayTitle(). Normally it just returns the contents of the title field, but for item types that have no title, it can return something else. I've hacked the Zotero used for the scree…
-
To confirm: did the "guest" variable produce output from your style?
-
The process just got a bit lighter, and I think you can cross off this query. The latest version of the processor allows supplementary fields to be spliced in via the UI for testing purposes. This should make it much simpler to work with users on …
-
@l2lafitte, This is correct behavior in the Chicago style (and every other style that uses ibid-style backreferencing, as far as I know). If you cite one source in one footnote, and the same source as the leading reference in the immediately follo…
-
For what it's worth, I have been mulling over some ideas for providing explicit control in CSL over "collapsing" behavior based on matches in variable content, which could be used to address this, among other issues. (I'm thinking [with untested op…
-
A set of tables showing Zotero-to-CSL mappings is available here: http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/csl-fields/ Unfortunately, it doesn't (yet) show the mappings for creators, like "guest"; for that, the source code is still the only reliable guide.…
-
In Zotero 2.1, things will work as you describe, with the style controlling the locale used to generate output.
-
I think that the position logic is the same for current Zotero (2.0) and for CSL 1.0 (which will debut in Zotero 2.1). The spec description of CSL 1.0 position handling is here (scroll down to the green block): http://citationstyles.org/downloads/…
