Chuck, Thanks for this extremely detailed report. I'm helping to build a new CSL processor for Zotero, and little glitches in citation formatting are always of interest. Just one question, so that I can confirm for myself exactly what's happening…
-
Got it. In fact, an article of my own just went through proofs with a style (Bluebook, unsupported as yet by Zotero) that has exactly the same requirement -- if same author, then always add the title in subsequent references. It looks like both th…
-
I guess we should confirm the style rule first then. Suppose there are the following full-length entries in the bibliography: 1. John Doe, My Anonymous Life (2000). 2. John Doe, Her Anonymous Life (2000). 3. John Doe, His Anonymous Life (2001). F…

From the code of the current Zotero processor, it looks like disambiguation is based exclusively on the year of publication and the names used in the cite, without reference to the title. That suggests that cites that match in their short form (wit…

ahxft, mgrowhoski, Saving items via anonymous access to the Integrated Catalogue seems to work for me (first of the four options under this top-level link). The link posted by ahxft leads to a Reader Pass login screen. I'm on the other side of th…

That's a good link for the basic syntax of conditions. You can find a worked example of the disambiguate="true" condition in the MLA style. If you make your own style based on another one, it's a good idea to give it a distinctive name, and to cha…

funkydan2, The bad news is that the disambiguate-add-title option was removed from the CSL schema earlier this year. The good news is that it is now possible to test for a "disambiguate" value (i.e. "needs more disambiguation") that can be used to…

I'm with mark on this one. This is an elegant style, the automated support just needs to do a little catching up, that's all.
-
The comma positioning can't be controlled in the version of CSL implemented in current Zotero. It's on the TODO list for the new processor, and the necessary change to CSL (including provision for defining options as well as strings in the locale) …
-
Pablo (palmann), My question about the locale settings might have been a mis-cue. I had forgotten that Zotero currently derives its ordinal strings from elsewhere. I'm afraid that I don't remember clearly what the ultimate source of the strings wa…
-
palmann, HobbesvsBoyle, Just a thought: are you both running Firefox with exactly the same locale settings? I ask because this looks like the CSL processor is missing a locale string (or empty locale string) that should go at that location, and th…
-
GregS, You might also suggest to TEI that they approach the Center for History and New Media as a prospective member.
-
basilides, Maybe we should go back to the beginning, since it looks like that's where the confusion begins. We are probably having a little trouble understanding your question. First, to confirm, is it right that you are you talking about bibliog…

From the wikipedia page linked above: A definitive list of United Nations documentation symbols is published and periodically updated by the United Nations Library.[1] With the addition of new bodies and functions, the documentation scheme evolves t…
-
I think the aim is to handle UN document numbers, which may have different formatting requirements (position, surrounding punctuation) from a mere document number. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Document_Codes It's a large and speci…

Work in progress on the new citation processor will cover the needs of this bibliography style. Of the three open tickets, 1324 and 1325 are on the todo list for the new processor, and are trivial to implement. Number 933 (the ability to suppress …
-
Testing for particular variable values is not supported in CSL. A report number would only be printed if the data is available; you are wanting, in some cases but not all, to avoid printing it when it is available?
-
It is not currently possible to apply separate formatting to each of the elements of a name. The CSL syntax has been extended to permit this, however, and a new CSL processor intended for use in Zotero supports the new syntax. So not at present, b…
-
Done. It's up as lexis-law-reviews-2009-07-16.js. Should work with 2.0. The scraper does not support search lists, but it does grab an HTML snapshot of the page, which is very useful for note-taking. I had to do some fixing in the highlighting c…
-
You can place the database file in an encrypted filesystem, at the operating system level, without any change to Zotero.
-
JonEP, Perfect, thanks! (Re quotes, just manually type in in tags around the text to be quoted.)
-
bdarcus, We also need to figure out how to handle the different-names-in-different-scripts problem. I wouldn't say it's been definitively solved, but the new processor at least has a working solution in place. We reorder names, subject to the exce…
-
JonEP, The Zotero developers follow the forums, so they will have read your note and the replies. I myself work in Japan, so this is an item of interest to me. What would be really helpful is to have one or more pointers to style guides that requ…
-
The new (not yet deployed) CSL processor recognizes an additional toggle field in the name, which controls whether the full name is rendered in Western order or in same-as-sort-order order. It's essentially tpep's solution. It should be complement…
-
huntergatherer, My note above about what disambiguation is trying to do was wrong. I apologize for any annoyance caused, and I have edited the post to acknowledge the error and provide a little more info. If you're having trouble with disambiguat…
-
Tjowens, I've built a translator that works on the unstructured content of Lexis: US & Canadian Law Reviews Combined (in Total Legal Research), if someone with access to that service wants to take a look at testing the translator.
-
adamsmith, Could be something going on with disambiguation. E.g. if you cite an author with last name Knill with another article, Zotero will disambiguate. The happens if you cite the same author, but the first names in the database entries are not …
-
There are styles that do that, yes. The ieee.csl style is one, I believe. There should be others in the style repository.
-
This problem was first reported in August 2007. I came along later and posted a patch, sometime in May this year. Here's a link to the patch itself. Hopefully this patch will eventually make its way into Zotero proper, but for now, well, there it…

Haven't checked, but the citation processor should be aware of the author even though it's not being printed in the citation. As a side note, though, the APA rules are not precisely followed in the current processor and CSL style -- I think they re…
