This would be the place to start, to confirm the location of your library: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#locating_your_zotero_library See how it goes, write again if you're still stuck.

The revised processor is up now. You can take it for a test ride by installing the processor patch plugin (works only with Zotero for Firefox). It should produce results like those highlighted in green in this thread, pretty much regardless of the …

That's great to hear. I'll retain the Unicode normalizer fix for sort keys in the next MLZ release, just in case, but it's good to know that everything is working for you. Thanks for your kind words about MLZ. The project has kept a low profile in …

I've added a hook to the processor for a function to normalize the string content of sort keys. I haven't tested that it will actually run yet, but the code for it is here: MLZ: https://github.com/fbennett/zotero/commit/2feca308c2e0980bd7cb95d7e0ee…

Yes, that's what I thought. So we want to produce the following results. (1) Doe, Plain Text Title, 1900. (2) Doe, Plain Text Title with a Foreign Term, 1900. (3) Doe, Plain Text Title “with a quote,” 1900. (4) Doe, Italic Title, 1900. (5) Doe, Ital…

(Meanwhile ... I have prepared a change to MLZ and the citation processor that should work to normalize non-precomposed characters. If your browser is up to date and the text page above passes okay, let me know and I'll get the revised version onlin…
-
One more question in this series (sorry for all the back-and-forth, but while we're here ...). Should a comma following a title that is set in italics also be italicized?
-
Well, that's not very satisfactory, is it. I can't reproduce that sort failure with those names here; they come out as desired. There are a couple of possible causes for the result you're seeing. One is that your platform may have a broken Unicode…

(We crossed in the post. On the second pair, if we want the second choice, how should the comma be formatted? It's an awkward case, given that the quotes and the preceding text should logically be italicized.)
-
(If the first example in the first pair and the second example in the second pair are desired, let me know, though. The code is pretty clean now, and it might be possible to finesse it.)
-
An italicized foreign term inside quotes will work okay, but there is a small difference between the "blocking" and "non-blocking" choices. If migration of punctuation is blocked at a styling boundary, the format of punctuation characters is not aff…
-
Here is a test item that is mostly theoretical. The old output looks like this: Doe. “Book A.” 1900. The new version is producing this: Doe. “Book A”. 1900. It's been set up to avoid migrating punctuation across a style boundary, so it balks at the …

Down to 20 failures in the test suite now. The structure that prompted this rewrite is now passing. Small steps, but should be ready for testing pretty soon.
-
Here's another to confirm. It's another test using a Chicago in the en-US locale, where the commas ended up outside of quotation marks for some reason: [1] John Doe, “His Anonymous Life”, 1965; Jane Roe, “Her Anonymous Life”, 1965. [2] Doe, “His Ano…

In MLZ, I made some changes in compoents/zotero-protocol-handler.js to make the window close immediately. The code was a hack, and might not play smoothly on all platforms and in all Firefox versions. I'm sure there is a better way to handle it in c…
-
(Easy to do that later, once processor code for fine-grained control over output is in place.)
-
Okay, I'll make those happen. More to come, tomorrow.
-
Here's another item. The CSL code for it is the following: The test input is the following: This is 'The One' This this CSL and input, and with punctuation-in-quote set to true, the new code is producing the following output: “This is ‘The One’.” …

The page linked below has the details. Check two locations: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#zotero_standalone and https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#library_contents "The directory also contains a 'storage' subdirectory, conta…
-
Here's another edge case. I think we've discussed it before, but I have better control over the code now, and we may be able to reach a more satisfactory result: P.G. Zimbardo, “Does Psychology make a significant difference in our lives?” American P…

Some of the remaining errors in the test suite may not be actual errors. How about this one? Davis, Jennifer J. “Men of Taste: Gender and Authority in the French Culinary Trades, 1730-1830.” Ph.D. diss., Pennsylvania State University, History, 2004.…
-
Just a holding note to say that the prospects of the solution working out are still pretty good. The basic structure of the new code I'm trying is (much) simpler and more transparent; it's just taking a few days to work through the many permutations…
-
The first issue was a bug in the style. It's now been fixed, and the change has been mapped across to all MLZ styles that use the Bluebook cite forms for US legal materials: MLZ Bluebook Style MLZ Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation, 7th ed. (M…
-
Thanks for reporting this one. It should be fixed in an update within the day.
-
Don't look now, but I may have a working solution to this on the way. It's not done yet, but I seem to be better able to feel my way around recursion than I once was.
-
I'm not able to reproduce either of those errors locally. The first should never happen. I don't think we've ever seen the second before. The style certainly won't do that; it sounds like the word processor may be messing up. What happens if you se…

A macro opens a new nesting level, because the cs:text calling the macro will accept an affix attribute of its own. It has the same structure internally as a cs:group. The code that handles punctuation adjustments and quote swapping is decidedly aw…
-
We've been over this before, I think. Placement on the prefix is only part of the cause. The following code works as expected: As output, this yields: "My Title." My Publisher The problem arises when the affix is separated from the quotes by…
-
It should be fixed now. Update the MLZ add-on and see how you fare.
-
I can confirm that dragging yields the cite without the wrapper, so this is indeed a bug. Should have a fix in a few hours (dinnertime soon here in Japan Standard Timezone).
