@anark, It's a big project with lots of moving parts. For my own part, some of the "cool new features" included in the new processor are "nuts and bolts functionality" for myself and my students in the field of comparative law -- specifically, foo…

There is a plan to replace the current CSL citation formatter, following the final release of Zotero 2.0. In the new formatting module (not yet deployed), this works correctly; it is likely that development manpower within Zotero proper is being di…
-
This issue won't make it into CSL 1.0 and the first release of the new processor (early next year). But when the new processor comes out, a less painful workaround may be available, if selective bibliography output is possible. We'll have to wait …
-
Legal styles will be easier to support in CSL 1.0, which will feature in a later Zotero release, after Zotero 2.0 is finalized.

It's not currently possible to insert sub-classified bibliographies automatically. You can do it manually by setting put a collection for each sub-bib and using right-click -> "Create Bibliography from Selected Items", though. You can then inse…
-
No, not yet. It would be a feature of the CSL processor; the plugin doesn't need to know anything about the special behavior. Some provision needs to be made to suppress inclusion in the bibliography for particular items. At the moment, I'm think…
-
The simplest thing would be to decouple the citation from the bibliography entry. So you would register the English translation independently, as an uncited reference for inclusion in the bibliography, and we would need a special type for "classica…
-
Hmm. There may be two formatting issues here. The item needs a particular citation format in the text or footnote, but should it also be suppressed in the bibliography? If that's so, an item type for material of this kind may be needed. Concerni…
-
Perhaps I misunderstood. Is this issue about citation formatting, or about the behavior of openURL resolvers?
-
The Bluebook for legal citation has a similar example for citations to the Bible. The format of the cite is independent, not only of the physical edition, but also of the citation style used? Examples of what doesn't work correctly would help us …

@colin,Good - why then [...] can't we have lots of citation styles (and lots of bibliography styles if users really wanted) [...] Where is the "bottleneck" in the design and what could be done about it - the style XML could support these changes - i…
-
Here's a thread where this has been discussed. The synopsis version is that the issue (automatically supplying the author name in-text on a per-cite basis) is known, and there is some experimental work on parts of what might go into an implementati…
-
Rob, Your example is new to us, I think. Is there a style guide that gives fuller treatment of the range of citation forms into which this example fits? PS: Re CMS, the general rule that flip-flopping should be performed applies to the document t…
-
My simple patch is still available on zotero-dev, and it looks like it will still apply cleanly to the latest Zotero sources. It does need to be tested, though. If someone with access to such a resolver could patch a copy of Zotero and check that …
-
It's definitely worth doing, because it will help keep the tagging of transliteration methods consistent across different user databases. Ideally, several people collaborating through a group should be able to copy items from their existing persona…

As Dan says, ordinary seasons are fully structured; they are passed as integers 1-4. Season-like phrases such as "Michaelmas" can be passed as strings through the same season element. In that case they are handled in the same way as proper seasons…
-
What is the scope of issues to be settled? Citeproc-js currently accepts date information broken down into year, month, day, season, and a circa bit. To handle cases in which the calling application cannot provide those details, it will recognize …
-
@Alexius, We seem to have settled on a tentative solution for printing the first author and suppressing the leading author listing when the author list rises above a certain length, as required by your style. It will not be deployed until the new p…
-
@mryckman, I'm not sure what angle you're planning to take on tying Zotero to LaTeX, or how much work you're aiming to throw into it, but with the new citeproc-js processor, it should theoretically be possible to build a working drop-in substitute …
-
@clemens14, when Zotero goes for full multilingual support, there may be space for introducing "parallel" phonetic fields, so that sorting can be made to work nicely in the UI. (That wouldn't be Steve Clemens, by any chance?)
-
@Alexius: We're looking into the problem of printing the first-listed name of an author under particular conditions. As adamsmith says, this isn't possible currently. Not sure when a solution will come, but the issue is on the table.
-
... else-if language = "RU" then accessed-date-text = "дата обращения:" ...I wondered about this too, when I first encountered CSL. But it turns out that testing for variable content is not supported for some pretty sound reasons. CSL isn't a gene…
-
Well, (3) isn't part of CSL, but the citeproc-js processor has that capability, and Zotero will be able to tie into it. Attributes to support (1) and (2) are in the CSL schema, but actual support for note backreferencing is not supplied by the proc…
-
Hi! It's good to see the interest in support for law styles. Strong support will come, but it will take some more time. It would be best for someone who uses the McGill style in their own work to take this on. I'll be happy to take a look once w…
-
@adamsmith, That's interesting, I didn't know that it worked that way. Just for info, in the new processor & CSL 1.0 it will work slightly differently. delimiter-precedes-last will be applied only when an "and" join is requested, and an optio…

Anyone out there interested in working on an Abiword plugin will have noticed that Abiword 2.8.0 just came out, accompanied by the rollout of a dedicated document sharing service at https://abicollab.net/. I hadn't looked at Abiword in a very long …

Matt, do you have an idea what the "Code" and "Code Number" fields of the Statute/legislation type are actually meant to contain? It would be useful to have sample cites to illustrate. I'm not that familiar with US legislation, and I'm kind of at …
-
Ah. In CSL 1.0, it's "legislation", try that and see if it works.
