  • I'll look at it this weekend.
  • Just in case it's escaped notice, the collections for a particular item can be revealed via the keyboard: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item
  • Just checked, volumeTitle maps to CSL-m volume-title variable. https://github.com/fbennett/zotero/blob/multi-4.0/chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/utilities.js#L55
  • MLZ has a Volume Title field. An example entry is here. I don't think that MLZ Chicago Full Note supports volume title yet -- I added it to get a Japanese legal style working -- but it could certainly be tweaked to work. Shall I take a look?
  • Here's a pretty typical example of a note containing an indented quote (drawn from Waldron, Jeremy. “Torture and Positive Law: Jurisprudence for the White House.” Columbia Law Review 105, no. 6 (October 1, 2005): 1681–1750). It would be possible to…
  • I'll dig out some sample footnotes from legal writing. It's a very different style from the sciences -- in part, I think, because legal authors don't pay for publication.
  • Yes (or "No", depending on your language domain :) it can't. You would have to do that by setting "and" as a prefix on the final cite. No one has ever complained about that, though, and it's probably not worth automating. Some authors might want to…
  • aurimas writes: In CMoS, I only see semicolon on citation -> layout, which should do something else. Is it hard-coded?That's the normal coding pattern, as far as I know; it's the inter-cite delimiter, and it's hard-coded in CSL. I think what Grac…
  • It seems to me that when we start thinking about eliminating delimiting punctuation altogether, that's more like straight discursive writing (in footnotes) with citations interspersed. Writing in that mode will not map well to author-date styles an…
  • @gracile: Before I do that ... (and as aurimas has already noticed) ... the post you link to above is about adaptive punctuation (i.e. adjusting citations that ordinarily use a comma as inter-cite delimiter to use a semicolon instead, because page p…
  • The main commit to the processor code went in on June 1 this year. It was part of the solution to some long-standing processor issues reported by Sebastian. I think the adaptive punctuation code was included in a Zotero release in September. I'll w…
  • As aurimas says, if you have a backup of the file (in Time Machine, in a separately saved copy, or a copy created automatically by Word's AutoBackup), restore the old file and work from that. If no backup copy is available, and aurimas is not able …
  • The plugin is now up on the RTF/ODF Scan site, with thanks to Scrivener users who trialled the fix. If there are any problems, just let us know.
  • This post says it sometimes replaced everything with page numbers: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111119194737AAH4PQa I was thinking that the undo/redo operations in the document might have created the mixture.
  • Could this be an instance of the Mac Word 2011 asterisk bug? If Update 14.1.2 has not yet been applied to Mac for Word 2011 on the machine for some reason, that would be the tell. @loquito: If you are able, check whether that update has been appli…
  • Gosh, I sound so stilted in that screencast. :-) Yes, I'll have to pull or replace that video. When Dan released faster and much more elegant duplicates support in Zotero, I reverted the stuff in Zotero and adopted the official version in MLZ. Sor…
  • Ha. What is embarrassing is that I haven't worked with duplicates in my own library for some time. It looks like everything is in order. It may be that you are looking at an old document that needs to be amended for accuracy. Can you point at the M…
  • Oh, that's embarrassing. I'll get those menus back in place soon, and post back.
  • MLZ used to tag all items added by a Web translator with a "New" tag, but I removed it back in July. I'm not sure if there is a general plugin for it.
  • Yep - this is all good. Sebastian should be able to take a look during the weekend, and we'll likely release next week.
  • Thanks. If you can follow that up with a notice once the actual release comes out (so that people can reinstall to get back into the update channel), all should go smoothly. Here's hoping for a smooth road forward!
  • @kithairon: Excellent, that's very good to hear! In an ODF file, there are styles of two types: internal (defined in the header, referenced only in document nodes); and external (defined by the word processor, referenced in the document by a standa…
  • What should a correct, finished citation to this resource look like in SBL?
  • Oh, and the simpler question: were your libraries synced and up-to-date on zotero.org?
  • Do you remember what version of Zotero you were running? If it was in the 4.x series, do you remember whether you had turned off embedding of references in the document? It would have said something like: ☑ Literaturangaben im Dokument speichen
  • Okay, I've extended it to list up to 20 authors, with "and others" for any remaining. In the rare cases of works with enormous numbers of authors (a famous physics paper has around 2,000), that should be a reasonable compromise.
  • Okay, the amended version of the style should be live now. http://citationstylist.org/tools/#styles After reinstalling, you will need to switch to another style, then back for the changes to take effect in any open documents. If there are any othe…
  • What's the best way for me to change what I already have done?For your documents, just wait for me to get a revised version up on the site - the changes to your citations will be automatic.
  • The MLZ styles (listed on the CitationStylist) can't be edited through the style editor, unfortunately; but the effect you're after is simple to produce. I should first ask, though: this is a requirement of the NZ law style itself? If so, I should …
  • To Scrivener users, I think I have a fix in place for the font-size and font-family anomalies in converted documents. The fix should be tested before we make an official release. I have put up a copy of the modified plugin here that includes the f…
