Did it used to take effect in the hints lists? That would be surprising. What effect are you after?
-
You can use the Abbreviation Filter for this, with the MLZ styles. On a case citation, form="short" will apply the AF "abbreviation" (applying hints if no abbreviation has yet been registered). If you set form="short" on the full case name in CSL a…

@didierdavin: On closer inspection, I found that multilingual rendering was still broken for ordinary fields: it has also now been fixed, in the latest update.
-
Okay, we'll bring that inside the processor soon.
-
We'll need clarification from wonblee, then. From this, I understood that he was seeing Journal Abbr override the AF version: I'd like these to be ignored in preference for the ones that I provide with the MLZ abbreviation filter. (The priority orde…
-
@wonblee, I've run a quick test with MLZ and the Abbreviation Filter (v1.0.140), and it looks like abbreviations are applied as described above, with AF abbreviations at first priority. If you have references that are not behaving that way (in the…
-
@adamsmith: Sorry! Hmm. It looks like I'm not understanding the code thoroughly, then. I'll try to do some testing today and write back.
-
I've been thinking about this one. I'm not completely sure yet that ignoring case when applying abbreviations is safe to do. @aurimasv, Dan, Simon + @adamsmith: Do you have views on this one?
-
@wonblee: Sorry for being slow to respond on this. The day job ... Journal abbreviations are meant to work as you describe. That is: * If there is an entry in the Abbreviation Filter, apply it; * If no AF entry exists, use the Journal Ab…

There is an intermittent problem with drag & drop in MLZ. When it once fails, FF needs a restart to get it working again. I've not yet been able to track down the exact conditions that cause the failure.
-
It's built to import the two separately, yes. The hints can't be edited through the Abbreviation Filter UI, and they always completely overwrite any previously-registered hints. (I'm not sure what happens if a hints segment is included in an ordinar…
-
This has now been fixed in the latest update. My apologies for the misstep -- there was a bug in the MLZ function that prepares data for submission to the CSL processor.
-
This will need additional logic in the processor. Abbreviations could possibly handle these, but you would need to set the proper abbreviation for every variant of the journal title. It would be a little like whack-a-mole. A separate stop-list for …
-
The was a bug in the latest upgrade. My apologies. Please update MLZ and let us know how you fare.
-
That would be great. With the style and the reference as Bibliontology RDF, I can take a look and see what's up with this one.
-
That's odd, but it's good to know your document is back with us. If it bites again, we'll take another look.
-
It's not impossible that something in the update triggered the error, but as far as I can tell, nothing in the citation processor has changed since early December of last year. In any case, we'll want to track down the cause. I'll need some more in…

MLZ supports full RFC 5646 language tags. If you check the menus for the language concerned in the Language preferences, you will find alalc97 in the Variants submenu. That stands for the American Library Association - Library of Congress transliter…

This should work for that: This will show a validation error on the prefix space, but it should not, since you really do need the space here. I'll adjust the validator soon. You don't need if-short for this one.
-
Yes, citeproc-js still has the old setting. The switch-over has been agreed, and the adjustments have been made to the repository styles, so I should make this change in the processor sometime soon.
-
This is by design. Some of the design decisions in the multilingual extensions have been influenced by my own tastes and personal experience (because there aren't a lot of well-specified multilingual style guides out there). In our in-house style fo…
-
Sorry, I did not read the error message carefully. This is documented in the specification supplement. On a cs:institution-part element, you can use name="long" or name="short". To set formatting separately for the long and the short forms, you can…
-
Spaces can be set in a delimiter. If coded that way, a style is more robust. That's why the schema does not allow spaces on the affixes.
-
Ah, quite right, sorry. Instead of this: try something like this Using a localised term is generally better than hard-coding strings in the affixes.
-
If you make it cs:number rather than cs:text, it will validate ok.
-
Thanks for keeping after me on this one. The page has been fixed.
-
near-note was inspired (if that's the word) by the Bluebook 5-footnote rule for subsequent case and statute references. In Bluebook those do not use supra, so we didn't do anything special for the back-reference target. While shifting the back-refe…
-
It works as advertised for me, with a set of book items that I used for testing. I get the same result for the final cite in the series (the subsequent reference to the initial work) regardless of whether another item with the same author is placed …
-
If you post the style code to http://gist.github.com, I'll take a look.
-
It should behave as described in the CSL specification. If you are getting unexpected results, we'll need enough information to reproduce the fault.
