  • Here's one of 'em.
  • The tests that Bruce points to were written to check that the processor behaves correctly, but building a bundle of tests for each major style (using the same sort of test framework used for the processor tests) would also be a very good thing. It …
  • "Series editor" seems to me a different concept from "Publishing director". The first seems to refer to the editor who controls the design of a series, selecting the volumes that go into it and providing oversight guidance to the project. The seco…
  • @charlesknight Not absolutely sure what you mean by "wants to add the first name", but since it's harvard1, I assume that you mean that it's adding a full name, like "Crawford, Richard". The current CSL processor takes into a account all of the na…
  • mark: citeproc-js will make an effort to separate styling information from markup. Here is a sample page that I produced for discussion purposes while working out the formatting of bibliographies -- the actual implementation differs in some small w…
  • Geoffrey, Thanks for your thoughtful input. The solution that is currently coded into the new CSL processor addresses your second issue, relating to nesting. Double-quotes inside a title will become single quotes if themselves enclosed in double-…
  • @erazlogo, Starting a new thread here for the address issue. Want to be sure this is covered as far as CSL is concerned.
  • Yikes. Not quite clear what rule is working there. The first Lee in the Lee & Lee cite should be expanded, in that case. Odd. But as you say, we're down to fine distinctions and rare cases at this point. Some of the examples from the wild t…
  • Could you check to see if those Life Science texts use disambiguation at all? It's possible to control this one-cite disambiguation separately from the "minimal" form, but it would require an addition to the schema. We've just put in a set of opti…
  • @jack1982 Thanks for pointing this out. The checkin machinery in the repository now seems to maintain the date automagically, unless it is explicitly written into the field in the CSL as checked in (?). I've stripped the old 2008 timestamp from th…
  • Nicolas, I mentioned your issue to Bruce D'Arcus, and he suggested that the role list used by the US Library of Congress might contain an appropriate role. If you could take a look at the list and offer a suggestion, it might help move things forw…
  • @komrade, I've added this to the "by-cite" disambiguation rule (the minimal one). I've added a test, and it seems to work. Thanks for reporting this, hope it works when we turn on the switch!
  • Indeed! I must have lost a setting locally, and then used a bad URL when trying to do a fresh checkout. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I've made the requested change to the sp-legal.csl style, and checked it into the repository.
  • Was going to take care of this, but it looks like my access privileges to svn have been revoked. Someone from the core team should be able to help, though.
  • This seems like the right behavior, but what does Zotero do internally to make that happen? Is a portion of the date field string being redirected to the issue field in the database record? Is the "(Summer)" drawn from a portion of the date field …
  • If you click on the Author label, you can select different author types. If you click on the + to the right of the entry, you can add another blank author entry to fill in. Does that help, or have I misunderstood the issue? (EDIT: Yep, reading yo…
  • Okay, this is working now in the new processor. In the approach that I've taken in the code, extraneous punctuation will not be suppressed if it occurs at a different group nesting level; but sibling prefixes with leading punctuation will be handle…
  • I'm looking at this problem now for citeproc-js. The CSL of the style is adding the period as a prefix to a completely separate sibling element, which is something of a challenge for the processor. We'll cope, but it is actually very difficult to …
  • The translator file is here (EDIT: @mcburton, sorry, that was a non sequitur, wrong correspondent.)
  • Hi maztec, I have built a translator for the Lexis collection, "US & Canadian Law Reviews Combined". It only works on that specific collection (Lexis does not provide structured metadata, so we have to do some fairly wild stuff with screen scr…
  • The IANA is open to new submissions. I might test the waters by trying to get modified Hepburn registered. The use cases are an empirical thing. Once we have something running, user complaints will light the way. :)
  • This is great as a source of language and subtag names. We'd want to use only a subset of the available specifiers, though, to keep things simple.
  • dct:title "日本における電子工学"@ja ; dct:title "二ホン二オケルデンシコウガク"@ja ; dct:title "nihon ni okeru denshi kougaku"@en ; dct:title "nihon ni okeru denshi kōgaku"@en ; dct:title "Electrical Engineering in Japan"@en ; There are multiple repr…
  • @Bruce, It goes beyond language alone. For the Asian scripts, we need to have access to multiple methods of transliteration, as well as translations. For example, consider the cite: 我妻栄 「民法 」有斐閣:1948 In a bibliography, this would be …
  • Just tried again after purging changes to system.sql from our modifications bundle, and all is well. Upgrade of the modded DB works, reset to server went through without a hitch, and synchronizing back to another Firefox profile on the same machine…
  • That's a local modification that snuck through, yes. My apologies for this, and many thanks for checking the source of the error. I'll purge sample data containing that from the local copy, and reset. Our local customization experiment is going o…
  • I can still see the library contents in my Zotero account page, and "restore from server" still fails with "empty response from server". I have a backup copy of zotero.sqlite, and could reinstall it and try updating the Z server account from the cl…
  • Would like to chime in on this as well. Either solution -- the ability to insert names into the middle of the list, or to rearrange the list -- would be good. Hope it can find its way into the plan soon. I will admit an ulterior motive. I have a…
  • Don't be hard on yourself; citation management is a complicated business, we all trip up from time to time. I do believe that this will be solved in time.
  • @julioraffo, Workarounds based on quirks or irregularities in existing code could vanish at any time. It's probably best to keep an eye on the functionality and the use cases it addresses, and continue to look for opportunities to implement it pr…
