Aha. Never mind what I wrote: what Simon suggests is simpler, and will have the exact effect you are after.
-
Somehow the entries were flagged in your document for omission from the bibliography. I just did a little test, and it looks like the flag persists after the item is completely removed and re-cited in the document. To fix it, click in the bibliogra…

Authors sometimes prefer to see their name used in a particular form. The name of H.L.A. Hart would probably not be recognized readily by most readers if written out in full. There will be conventions for the representation of names in publishing, a…

Sorry, I don't exactly follow where the problem lies here. Could you maybe give an example?It really depends on what is expected from disambiguation (which has always been a little, ah, ambiguous). If the aim is for the same person always to show in…
-
It won't be totally trivial, unfortunately. If you suppress disambiguation on selected names that are distinct, that reduces the information available to the reader for identifying those particular author-date references in the bibliography, but no…

The Related tab might also be useful for that.

If ORCID is used to standardize names across a database, it will make life simpler. If it is used as an additional parameter (so that, say, whether "Run, C.J." and "Run, C. Jane" are distinguished depends on whether they share the same ORCID), the …

As far as I know, Zotero does this too (from version 3.0). Are you both using a recent version of Zotero?
-
When an item has been fully deleted or is unavailable to the current user of a document, its embedded metadata shows in the Z menu, and editing locators and affixes works. The missing item does not show in the Classic View, though, and can't be edit…

(I'm not sure how it is handled in LaTeX/BibTeX, but in the CSL processor used by Zotero, the "italics" tag in a title will flip to roman if the title as a whole is set in italics.)
-
Hmm. CMS @ 2.60 saysEditors working on-screen may need to make sure that the source citations and related text are free of any underlying codes generated by the author in creating or organizing them.Sounds like good advice.
-
That should certainly be appearing for you. What type of reference? (book, article, etc.)
-
Hi David, Understood (and that quip wasn't meant as criticism!). I have a few other pending items on my desk today, but I'll try to dig into this soon. I'm really curious whether we can trick it all into working smoothly.
-
Implicitly renaming the Dog tag in related saved searches might lead to confusion. Suppose that I have a set of "dog" tags that initially refer only to Dalmatians, and then discover that Poodles also exist. I might make the adjustment in a couple of…

That should be no problem. LibreOffice can read rtf files and save them as ODF (*.odt); the markers can then be converted to live Zotero links.
-
A document will go online in the next few days that explains what each segment is intended for.
-
That's another useful point of information. I know the citation processor code pretty well, so if the problem lay in the processor I could follow up. The next step would be for Simon to take a look at the integration plugin, I think. (We know that …
-
Yes.
-
The Zotero document fields contain the complete citation in two forms: formattedCitation and plainCitation. The latter is (supposed to be) the former, but with formatting markup stripped. In your screenshot, the formattedCitation form contains all o…
-
Just to be sure, when you installed LibreOffice and Zotero on a Windows 7 partition, did you do your testing with Linux running as the OS (but reading from that partition) or under Windows 7 itself?
-
Good to know. I can take steps in the plugin to avoid this source of confusion.
-
It is indeed odd, and something must be causing it. What is your language environment in Zotero?
-
The data imports fine for me, and it renders fine, both in the Zotero style edit pane, and in a document. Here is a screenshot of the same "field codes" area that is shown in your screenshot: http://imageshack.us/f/694/screenshotfrom201305151.png/ …

@Messensi: The processor should be producing 100-104 with the Chicago rule.
-
The problem is that the locator field could contain things other than page ranges, and often those should not be collapsed. For simplicity, I left it for manual adjustment, which isn't a huge burden in most cases. We could apply range collapsing to …

Let's take a closer look. Please export one of the items as Bibliontology RDF, save it to a file, open the file with a text editor, paste the content to http://gist.github.com, save it as a "Public Gist", and post the URL back here.
-
As adamsmith says, the item types affect data exchange and style maintenance, which makes introducing any new type a big decision. On the clutter issue, the most recently used types appear at the top of the listing, which seems a pretty good compro…

But publisher is not required, unless the book has been published before 1900 (in which case the place is also required). Rule 15.4 lists several situations in which the publisher would be printed. In most cases it would be left out, but given that …

When I pinpoint to a section in a statute, I get "sec. x(y)" or "secs. x(y), x(z)". but instead of Sec and secs should come § and §§. I'm unable to reproduce this with MLZ and the MLZ American Law style. Whether entered in the Section field of the i…

I was too verbose, sorry. I'm (obviously) not very familiar with the OS X environment, but if Zotero support could be tied into the Composer tool, that would be a very good thing.
