For en-dash, it may be possible to make it non-breaking by wrapping it in "word joiner" chars at both ends: ⁠–⁠

Some way of aligning the two in Zotero data would be good. It would mean that proper nouns need adjustment in two locations when the title is forced to sentence case, which might lead to complaints though. Tough one. I guess for the immediate fix, …

I misspoke (obviously). Let me back up. A main/sub split can occur without a match between title-short and the leading portion of title. In that case, title-short and title are unrelated, capitalization is handled independently, the bug doesn't man…

I can fix capitalization in the full title, but there are issues around the title-short field. The main/sub split no longer relies on a match with the short form. Code could be added to specially do a text-insensitive comparison of the parsed main t…

I already said that I restore the previous collection open/close state Dan is suggesting that the state be restored automatically (not completely collapsed as with "-"). That does seem simple and unintrusive, to me at least.

(Oops, sorry about that. Mobile finger-fault) @bjohas: As an aside, for another European project I built a simple bridge tool in node that does the necessaries to keep a front end site in sync with a Zotero library used as back end. Very basic at t…

@sotolk01: Do you still have copies of the items that caused the error (or remember anything distinctive about them)? The error was caused by a bug, and until it is fixed, it will continue to cause problems.
-
You will have to be more specific.
-
This sounds a lot like the Jurism cite extraction feature. It is indeed useful for collaboration. We use it for thesis supervision all the time, it saves a lot of hassle.
-
@dstillman: Found the change that caused this. There is a 'use strict' declaration at the top of the source from version 1.2.13. Without it, the code that triggered the bug (an array assignment into a string) fails silently. In strict mode, we get a…
-
Fingers crossed. If there are further problems I'll get on it.
-
Okay, it's throwing the same error as reported here. In this case it's triggered by an attempt to apply page-range-format="minimal" to a page field value of "22-22". That's logically impossible, and it was crashing the processor. I don't know how Z…
-
@dm5n: If you can identify the item that is causing the error, it would be helpful if, before changing or deleting it, you could provide it for testing. I have never seen this error before, and it is either caused by a bug in the processor that stum…
-
Just a note to say that there has been some progress on this front in the citation processor, and that a solution in Zotero is planned.
-
The code for suppressing authors has changed somewhat, in connection with a planned Zotero feature. The behavior may now be aligned with what @bwiernik describes, but if not, I can look into it further with a test fixture that illustrates the desire…
-
Solutions for this will need some time, study, and coordination. A first step would be to have one or more processor test fixtures that illustrate the sorting issues, as a basis for discussion and as a development resource. There is some documentati…

(Just a note to say that this has been fixed.)

If there are still issues with this, I can look into it if test items that illustrate the problems are available. To submit an item, join the public Jurism Test Submission group, sync, create a collection named for the style that shows the error, dr…
-
The processor follows the CSL Specification on this, and the add-names disambiguation code hasn't changed significantly in years. The behavior can't be changed in current CSL, but you can flag the issue by submitting test items that illustrate the p…

If this is still an issue and the processor appears to be at fault, I can look into it if a test item is available. To submit an item, join the public Jurism Test Submission group, sync, create a collection named for the style that shows the error, …

I can look into this if someone can provide a test item. To submit an item, join the Jurism Test Submission group, sync, create a collection "apa," drop the item into it, and sync.

I've decomissioned Propachi to simplify things (announcement here). Its main role was to enable uppercasing of the first character of subtitles by setting a processor toggle. That's now done directly in Zotero for styles that need it. Propachi was a…

@gduffner: The ibid adjustment for locator-extra is done in the processor and ready to go. I will include it in the next release of Jurism, due out later this week. It's unlikely that Zotero will adopt this change until there is a processor bugfix r…

@ajangir_27: The complete answer is provided by adamsmith above.

I can look into this if there is some test data to work from. To submit data, join this public library, sync it locally, drag a few (two or three) relevant entries into it, and either illustrate or explain the correct result in the Abstract field or…
-
The first question would be whether these strings use a distinct Unicode character for this purpose, or a simple straight quote. Assumimg the latter, can you post a sample or two to show the positions in which primes appear? I'll be curious whether…
-
@gduffner: Your looseleaf example contains four elements of supplementary data: (1) The authors; (2) the article pinpoint; (3) the looseleaf details; and (4) the date of the looseleaf supplement. That's beyond the capacity of the locator-extra solut…

A question, though. When there is a second cite to the overall work, but to a different commentator, should the citation be of short form, or should the full details of the overall work be shown again? (The former treatment will be easier to impleme…
