The recommended practice is to set titles in sentence case in Zotero. It's more a design precaution than a design flaw: it isn't practical to convert from title case to sentence case, since systems are not able to identify proper nouns automatically…
-
Yes, on both counts. In Zotero, the developers would probably not want to introduce the MLZ solution as it stands, because it (too) is inflexible. Introducing an option to add page breaks should not be too difficult, though.
-
In MLZ, reports are set with page breaks between the items, for the same reason (scissors and all). (I would not suggest that anyone move to MLZ for this; it's just that it's an issue that I've run into as well.)
-
If this is going to be a long-running problem in LibreOffice, it should be possible to do it with a plugin that post-processes an ODT file to make the necessary adjustments. A good starting point might be the code of the RTF/ODF Scan plugin, which h…

When the Abbreviation Filter for Zotero (AFZ) is installed, the nickname used to back-reference a cite can be set as a "hereinafter" value in AFZ (independent of the Short Title field in Zotero or MLZ itself). There is no "hereinafter" value in the…

Good to know. Thanks for writing back.
-
If you put the code at the beginning of the Extra field (followed by other notes and things), you can add that as a column in the center panel, and sort by it, as you said. Does that not address the need?
-
I was about to say the same thing. The style and that item work fine in LibreOffice.
-
If I could ask, does the Citavi word processor support work as illustrated in this screencast? (If so, that would explain the speed difference: it's using static markers.)
-
Weird. Thanks for checking, I'll take a look at it this week.
-
What happens with a reference that has four authors? (Sorry to abuse your time, but it's the first thing I would have to check when digging into this - it looks like you may have turned up a bug in the processor.)
-
The style isn't valid CSL, which might be a problem. Try swapping lines 37 and 38, and lines 44 and 45. After that edit, you can validate your style here: http://validator.citationstyles.org/
-
I think we had a report of this a couple of years ago, and fixed it. It works correctly for me here (that is, a Zotero-created note following a manually created footnote containing no Zotero references will not show as "ibid"). What platform are yo…
-
If you can paste the style code to http://gist.github.com, save it as a Public Gist, and post the link back here, someone can take a look.
-
Good to hear that it had at least some effect. A document that large is going to be a speed challenge on any system, since as adamsmith notes, the largest latency is in simply pulling data out of the document. Mendeley may turn out to be faster, b…
-
I want only want books, journal articles or Chapters to be always listed with full title, all others to always come with full title.I think there must be a typo in there.
-
(I've edited the list to remove five styles that, on closer inspection, do positional back-referencing.) (Actually, only one of the styles in the initial list fits the bill - the others were either in-text [author-date] styles, were cast in other l…
-
I misspoke (or mis-wrote) above: the best alternative to a pure numeric style would be a purely static footnote style (i.e. one that does neither disambiguation nor back-referencing). One of those will provide enough information for you to identify …
-
Thanks for reporting back. The two systems use the same citation formatter (citeproc-js, written by me), so the time for formatting per se should be about the same. It sounds, though, as though Zotero may be blocking the UI during some operations th…
-
@dknol: Do you have a bibliography set in your document? If so, you might try deleting it for the present, to see if that has an impact on performance. You're welcome to move to Mendeley, of course, and we would be interested to hear about the rela…
-
(Possibly the required Firefox versions recited in that page should be updated, since Zotero itself now requires Firefox version 31 or later.)
-
The Word for Mac plugin is here.
-
The glitch should now be fixed. You can try the amended citeproc-js CSL engine with the style code linked above by installing the processor patch plugin. The only effect of the plugin is to swap in the latest version of the processor. The plugin can…
-
The style is set up to provide the short title only of needed to disambiguate two cites by the same author(s). Is that the behavior you are testing?
-
When you use delimiter=" " for the newline, the processor inserts a literal newline in the output. That works in plain text, but it's ignored by HTML and RTF rendering engines. There is a "display" attribute in CSL that works (imperfectly) …
-
... or maybe what aurimas says. :-)
-
A plugin could be built to cast a draft note set in that form, with partial content; you could then paste the note into the newsletter document. It would take some work to set up - whether it is worth the time would depend on the volume of entries y…

Hi, Joyce, I was on the road all day - you're okay for now? Frank
-
If you mean all uppercase, that is not possible in CSL. There is no facility for manipulating individual words in an ordinary field.
-
@samerafach: I think you want to capitalize "Narnia" there. :-) Seriously, though, adamsmith is right, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. As you know, the "zotero.sqlite" file resides on each computer that is running Zotero, and is updated…
