Yay! Uh-oh. This is another permutation, unfortunately. If there are no confllcts with other cites, this would come out as Smith & Smith. But I'll open a ticket for it, and try to work out a way to squeeze it in.

With the latest trunk XPI, here's what looks like the relevant chunk of the local trace. To my untrained eye, it looks to be saying "Nobody home". Could the data be gone from the sync account, but still be showing up on the account's web view, I w…

I'm keen to work out a solution to this, for use among our overseas students. Their requirements are similar to what rickus describes: they write in English or in Japanese, citing resources in any of several languages (English, Russian, Chinese, Mo…

@Dan: Got it. That sounds very sensible. I'll get some simple tests of literal passthrough into the test suite.
-
I'll need to back up and be sure that the passthrough mechanism is set up in the processor, but the rough solution that arose from an earlier exchange was exactly as Dan describes: for the processor to receive parsed date fields from Zotero, or a "l…

Thanks for the reminder; I'll add that to the todo list. If it's to be used with CSL 1.0, it can be cast as a set of standard test fixtures. That way the test runner will tell you where the errors are, and you can save some time trawling through t…

I think we want to be careful not to scare the developers away. :-) It's also probably not a good thing to put too many options into the UI, since every new one adds to the hassle-cost incurred to find any of the others -- there's a kind of traged…
-
I can't speak for the Zotero developers, but the new CSL citation formatter that is being developed will at least offer the possibility of supporting this functionality. What makes it awkward to go beyond the current suppress-author solution is the…

Great stuff. The translator works with Zotero 2.0beta. It can be downloaded from the zotero-dev files area (the file is lexis-law-reviews-2009-07-16.js). To install it, just copy it into the Zotero translators directory, which is right next to th…

@spaetz: A definite answer to this has just come in via a separate channel, confirming your use cases. Thanks very much for responding; more news later.
-
@spaetz: I'm sorry, I didn't read your post as carefully as I ought to have done, obviously your examples are of the same name (!). It's late here, forgive me. Could I ask, though whether your examples from Switzerland, Norway and Germany are all …

The CSL processor will handle the family name part, the given name part, the particle (von etc), and the suffix (Jr etc) separately. But what we're debating at the moment is whether the same persona's name needs to be sorted on the particle in bibl…
-
@spaetz: Interesting that you mention this issue. We've been having a little discussion about this very topic over on the xbiblio-devl mailing list (the CSL mailing list). A language design decision in CSL currently turns on whether the sorting co…

@cpcberkeley: A translator for the law review articles section (US & Canadian Law Review Combined) of the TLR (law school) service exists, but it needs to be tested by someone with a subscription before it can be incorporated into Zotero. Want …

I've confirmed the requirement at the publisher's website, made the necessary change to the style file, and checked it into the repository. You should be able to install the updated style file from this link: http://www.zotero.org/styles/CORR/de…
-
Thanks very much for checking. It looks like we're fine with the current options, then. The processor will take care of discriminating the articular parts ("van der" etc), and the name suffixes, and arranging them according to commonly accepted co…
-
@f00: Yes, this is also not possible at the moment. The current stable version of the CSL language (0.8) doesn't have a styling handle for name parts. When the processor moves to CSL 1.0, we'll be able to set styling on the family name part, the g…
-
@weizhang: I've done some checking, and this looks like a definite bug. It can be reproduced with the following steps. (1) Open a fresh document. (2) Select a style that sorts citations (American Physics Society is one of these). (3) Insert a cita…
-
@Eofios: You may have overlooked this post made by adamsmith, to this thread, yesterday.
-
@weizhang: You need to indicate exactly which style you are referring to, so that someone can help.
-
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. :)

The formatting language used by Zotero (Citation Style Language, or CSL) does not currently have this capability. Support for backreferences that target a footnote has recently been added to the CSL specification, however, and implementation in Zot…

When I first sat down with Zotero, I hacked in some experimental, not-for-daily-use changes to the database schema. You know what happened next; my temporary experiment collected data, then more data, and when 1.5-beta came along, the blemishes I h…

This is no different than any other part of a CSL file, though. True. Just to avoid possible misunderstanding, I think this is both doable and desirable. The idea behind keeping it off CSL markup is that, if you have one list per journal, and the …
-
Just to be clear, the markup scheme that is used in the human-readable test files is a plain text format that was cooked up to reduce the amount of typing needed to write the processor tests (there are 221 of them so far, and the set keeps growing).…
-
I agree with Bruce that per-journal abbreviations don't belong in CSL markup, and agree with noksagt that they ought to be handled somewhere. Abbreviations are certainly important in law; the Bluebook has a list of mandatory BB-specific journal tit…
-
As Rintze says, this isn't currently possible, but the new CSL processor will be able to do what you require, and more. One of the more exotic sorting schemes it will support is this one.
-
@krishmaniac, I've just run a test (again) in Open Office, and find that IEEE will only produce the [1-5] form, and that no combination of changes to the CSL style will produce [1]-[5] on a multiple citation. So either you have stated it backwards…
-
As adamsmith says, the [1]-[5] form is not supported by the current CSL processor. The new one will cover it though, when it's released. Here's the test fixture for it.

@adamsmith, dda-gre: Ah, that's a better plan.
