Not as far as I know. (As a side note, I believe that this is may be relevant to this ticket in Trac and the related discussion thread on zotero-dev.)

The link leads to a 404 (page not found). If you can fix the link, someone might be able to help.

Chris, I consider the people doing this professionally to be my friends. Be nice. (In a sense, we are all doing this professionally, since we have a professional interest in seeing that the project is a success.)

@Chris_hk, People care. I don't know the code of either the plugins or the interface to them in Zotero, but this sounds like it might (might) be related to an issue I've noted on this ticket in the tracker. Please give it some more time, I think …

Lgstarn, Thanks for this info. It's been a long time since I used LaTeX (although once upon a time I knew TeX reasonably well), and I'm not in the sciences, so I was never that familiar with math mode. What I'm thinking is that the CSL processor …

I have two questions for LaTeX users following this thread. First, are all of the mangling issues you are encountering confined to spans enclosed in $...$ or {...}? Second, are there commonly available pretty-printing utilities for BibTeX files th…

sfbaywalk, short != trite. Your IT people should be able to do something with the suggestions of noksagt and Rintze. If they can't, come back with more specific questions, and you'll get more specific answers. Positive feedback isn't that hard on…

Bruce mentioned BitBucket (Mercurial/hg) as a possible version control home for the citeproc-js code base. I'm interested in making that move. A group at another university is working on a web deployment of the citeproc-js code, and I'm waiting to…
-
These will require additional fields, I think, and they are important categories that need to be covered. Starting from an analogous entry type (Statute?), could you provide a list of the fields that you think would be required for each? Pinning t…

Manusnake, if I understand this point correctly (my university French is a little shaky after 30 years of neglect), I think the answer is that locale terms can be controlled on a per-style basis. So even if "et al." is set as default (as the more c…
-
oschwald, I've done some work on an alternative Bluebook style, but it is not yet compatible with mainstream Zotero, and isn't suitable for anything more than experimentation (a caveat that applies to everyone, including me). I'm tied up at the mo…
-
James, thanks for your interest, and your feedback. If you look carefully at the sample test code that I linked above, you'll see that it does cover the default name order. Controlling the ordering requires hints in the input data, but at least th…
-
Yes, that use case is in our test suite as well (here's a sample, if you're interested). We haven't gotten to the point of discussing how sorting on a surname prefix should be controlled -- apparently whether it is used for the sort depends on the …
-
The name of the person writing the new CSL processor for Zotero ends in "Jr." He will take care to cover this use case.

@dukesyr, The forums have a search feature. Try a search for "sort citation", and add your comment to an appropriate thread.
-
It's hard to say. My end of things may be finished sometime during the summer, any integration into Zotero will take longer, and will presumably depend on other priorities of the project. So it will be awhile, but it's coming.
-
Thanks, got it. Chinese documents are fine; I am surrounded by Chinese speakers at work, both students and colleagues. What do you mean by "based on the position in which the citation appears"? If my understanding of the use case is wrong, please…
-
shenjun, Thanks for this link. I've downloaded the paper and taken a look, and I think that I see what's going on with the style. The non-superscript references are all preceded by the term 「文献」, which I guess means the same thing it does in…
-
Thanks for suggesting a few style names; I did need that info to follow up (different styles use different disambiguation options, I needed to identify the specific ones that are causing you trouble). I've confirmed that with the APA style, in Zote…
-
@dukesyr: Two questions: Which style are you using, and what version of Zotero are you using? (The info will help me to reproduce the behaviour, and check the CSL formatting options that cause it.)
-
Can you post a link to the style guide? A Chinese version is fine; I'd like to have access to the original doc. I'm curious what the rules are for the alternative decorations. In your example, is it triggered by the fact that [2] occurs before a …
-
shenjun, Is there a style somewhere of a publisher or a journal that requires citations with mixed formatting like this? It seems to me that it would be hard for a reader to follow -- if you were scanning such a document for references to source […
-
Matthew, I can't reproduce your problem, unfortunately. I just installed a fresh version of Zotero 1.5b2, installed the style of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, and created two database entries like so: Title: Article A Author: Doe…

For the Ph. case, I like the idea of a separate field, to handle this issue plus abbreviated institutional names. It will complicate things behind the scenes (since it would then have to apply differently to different name types) but it's the proce…
-
A more troublesome (and practical) issue is proper nouns in titles. That one leads back to our ongoing discussion of flip-flops and semantic markup.
-
True. It's in the test suites, but it hasn't been explicitly discussed, and I think when it is put on the table there will be similar objections. But the use case does come up. The Mongolian name Tsurdendordjiin (a common patronymic that serves t…
-
I don't know how this is handled in current Zotero, but in a new CSL processor that is now under development, enteriing the name as "PHillip" in the database will produce the correct full form (Philip) and the correct abbreviated form (Ph.). Frank …

Yves, This is a known issue, and it is being worked on. A new CSL processor (the code that does the citation and bibliography formatting) will permit fewer transactions between Zotero and the word processor with documents containing many citations…
