mbeale, This will be supported in a new CSL processor that is being developed for Zotero. Frank Bennett
-
@heromyth, It's no immediate comfort, but the new CSL processor I'm working on will handle this correctly. Ranging will also work, so with numbered references you should also be able to get something like [1]-[4] and [1],[3],[5]-[7], superscripted…

CB: That's fair. I didn't mean to be casually dismissive, and I apologize if I came across that way. It's just that the core functionality of CSL (or any other citation engine) is aimed at routine tasks that are more time-consuming and more prone …
-
Imb, What you are asking for (masquerading part of a citation as being part of the main text) is possible, but the fact that something is possible doesn't necessarily make it a good idea; the benefits have to outweigh the costs. Speaking as someon…

One small followup to Rintze. Item (1) depends on the use of name-as-sort-order.
-
@margaretha: Have you tried clicking on the "Author" label?
-
With you, I think this is an important feature. As far as I know, it is not yet supported in Zotero, but I'm hopeful that it eventually will be. I wrote a patch that permits it, and you can read all about it here: http://groups.google.com/group…

@bdarcus, Ah, right. That makes sense. We'll keep it that way in the new processor.
-
That's true. Hmm. The space has two possible meanings doesn't it: the space between the initials and the surname, and the space between the initials. Handling this by piling in additional parameters would get messy, how about this. If no space a…
-
Um ... if I read the code of the existing CSL processor code correctly, it doesn't make any difference in current Zotero. After the initialize-with initials are formed up, the processor has this, at lines 690-691 of csl.js: if(firstName[firstName.…

Tony2001, If you're still following this thread ... I've just recently built the disambiguation machinery for a new CSL process meant for use in Zotero. One of the issues it will address is disambiguation by givennames, and I think your concerns w…
-
I've not tried to reproduce this issue in Zotero myself, and I'm not sure whether there is a bug here. But from a quick look over this thread, it seems to me that people might be getting confused over what CSL/Zotero "disambiguation" is trying to d…
-
James, Gitty K, While it's not any immediate help, the new Zotero CSL citation formatter that I am working on will handle the first case (disambiguation based on substituted names) correctly. The second case will also be handled as James desires, …
-
Which citation style are you using? The citation style language is highly flexible, and each CSL style attempts to disambiguate citations according to the guidelines of the journal or publisher that the style supports.
-
I think that parts of the approaches of Bruce (automated collapsing) and ezralogo (special input field) could be combined to provide a flexible solution that wouldn't be too difficult to implement. It gets into the nitty-gritty a bit, but during pr…
-
@felwert, I'm not very familiar with this part of the kit yet, but I remember there is an "initialize-with" attribute that seems meant to serve this purpose (it takes the punctuation, if any, to follow the initials as its argument).
-
Hi, rgerig. The issue certainly hasn't been dropped or overlooked (in fact this very issue came up in a development discussion at about the time you were writing). It's one of those things that is tied to a bunch of other things, so it will take s…
-
@silence, This looks like a useful resource, and I really would like to help, but my own institution does not have a subscription and I can't cover the 200 quid charge for a year's access out of my personal funds. You'll have to find someone with …
-
I can't speak for the Zotero maintainers, but they might be inclined to wait on actually implementing this functionality for the time being. The module in Zotero that handles citation formatting is currently being rewritten in a simpler form, and i…
-
This isn't really one for Zotero specifically is it? That is, the actual tool that does the inserting would not need to be embedded in Firefox as a plugin or extension. It would only need access to and be able to marshal the contents of the databa…
-
Mea culpa. Bruce has the better advice; there is something wrong with my suggestion to run separate Firefox profiles, actually. If you have Firefox 1 and Firefox 2, say, each will have a completely separate database. If you write a document using…

You can run separate Firefox profiles, which gives you the same effect: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

@grieth, A bunch of detail to be worked out for law support (off the top of my head, I would add docket number for unpublished and undecided cases, and a secondary date for cases decided on one date, and published in a newspaper on another). Here'…
-
@drkitty: Forgot to mention one important possibility. If the entries relate to published works, you could also look them up in an existing online database that Zotero is able to read automatically. Faster than hand-keying, possibly faster than se…
-
@drkitty: It looks like cb2bib is designed to capture individual items from a page or document. From the look of the documentation, you would need to modifying it to read your entries. If you have a lot of bibliographic data stored in spreadsheet …
-
I'm not quite sure I follow your explanation, but does highlighting an entry in the second column + right-click + "Duplicate Selected Item" help at all?
-
@philgons: As the post immediately preceding yours shows, there are people around who are willing to pitch in, but you need to be just a little bit helpful to the cause. The Turabian guide describes two styles, which track the Chicago Manual note …
-
@msvarnyk: (Sorry about the busted link in the first post, it's been fixed on the forum.)
-
@msvarnyk: chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul may be what you are looking for. You can select the citation style to display from a pull-down list in the upper-right part of the browser view area, and the citation to render in Zotero.
-
I've put a little patch on the ticket, as one way of addressing this issue.
