I can imagine. It just requires vey small changes in a text document. I indeed am not sure small changes would be worth such a substantial work. The Zotero team has done a great job so far anyway.

Hi, Sorry for this late reply. I got sidetracked by other things. Thanks for your help. It indeed works ! By the way, in French from France at least Philippe is initialized Ph. instead of P. for example. Is there a way to set a differen…

Hello, I cannot see what is wrong with the following macro : I get the following message : Attribute initialize-with-hyphen not allowed on element name from namespace http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl at this point. Is there something wrong …

Thanks very much for your quick reply. I however think I will rewrite the style before validating it.

Hello, Due to an update to Firefox 4, I had to update to Zotero 2.1.6. I then discovered that the custom style I created was not functional anymore. Since it was not clean at all, I knew I will have to rewrite it from the beginning instead of mod…

I just would like to let you know that today I have found a new reason to use Zotero. Even if I use French resources most of the time, I also cite articles published in Anglo-saxons periodicals. Zotero allows me to cite Anglo-saxons articles using…

You are right -, I can open multiple windows. I just realised that I was trying to open a new tab rather than a new window. Sorry for that. I also have noticed that i can use many windows, delete or add items and that all changes appear in all wind…

I just tried the full-screen mode. It's better than I even imagined since it covers the Firefox window in it's entirety. Nevertheless, one only can open one window at a time which means that one cannot really brows the entirety of its items. It's a …

I can see at least one good reason for using Zotero as a stand alone app even if one uses FF to browse the Internet, little does it matter that Zotero could be used in full screen view in the near future. Nowadays people use virtual desktops such as…

This is just to say that I have applied if position="subsequent" and it works fine although if the same wrote to different pieces of work, the two are mentionned as op. cit. without distinction. It would be nice to have op. cit. applied only to the …

Thanks for your quick reply. Let's say I want to cite n° 84 of the now famous My book by A. Martin. I click on inserted a citation, select the item. the use the menu to select Number instead of Pages and type 84 in. I get : A. S…

Thanks a lot ! It does work. I only see small imperfections in the output : - Abbrevations are not always correct, e.g. J. instead of J-.P. for John-Paul. - the th after the edition number cannot be indivdiually subscripted, variables h…

I know I cannot test for it and that's where the problem is. n° refers to the § Chapter output (used for collective works) : A. Martin, Rich text citations in A history of Zotero development, Publisher, 2009, p. or n° Encyclopedia The CSL ency…

It would be a good idea to put a warning on the SSG page as well since I found it without searching the zotero site but the internet. In my style chapters are set like this : Author, Italicised title in Publication, Publisher, Date En…
-
I totally agree with you but, beside the fact that CSL and XML were new to me when I posted my first message, there was no indication on the website about where to start. It only is later that I discovered that in fact the SSG created code that was …
-
This is just to clarifiy that I understans it is easier to map things this way but it always is a problem when one has to add new types because then one has to rewrite the code in order to put if type=entry-encyclopedia before chapter, for example.
-
In fact before I posted I already tried to add more exceptions by using else-if. One of these exceptions was entry-encyclopedia. I did not know why It always treated as a chapter which also was present in the style. Now I understand, it is a questio…
-
Thanks for the mapping. The simple style generator can create one style with two exception, e.g. book and journal article. I however would need to set more than the just two exceptions, e.g. book, journal article, entry encyclopedia and rapport. How…
-
I understand the reasons behind this decision although I think the contrary would allow to elaborate much nicer macros. If I can't use it I will have to rely on exceptions by type and this really is not convienient. I have seen that the question ab…
-
Could you please let me know what I should type in order to correctly configure a macro. I would like to set assign the same style all the items that have the same word in the publication field. I therefore use the following code : … Could …
-
I will do so. Thanks again.
-
I Just tested the code and there seems to be a bug since everthing which comes after the th also is written with superscripting even if I specified vertical-align="baseline" in all the macros I use and if added "baseline" to all the lines which were…
-
Yes, I had the feeling it was impossible to set a macro with two types of alignment in the same suffix and I already knew that the suffix would have to always be the same. I however preferred to ask just in case I misunderstood something and I must …
-
Oh sorry no, I replied too quicly. Th should be higher than the rest of the text. If you mention for example square meters , the small 2 which means power two slightly is higher than the m. If you do not exactly understand what I want th to look l…
-
Thanks for your replies. Yes, exactly it is like adamsmith writes it in the last line of his message.
-
OK. My style now also produces footnotes. I just have a small issue. The style relies on the "edition" macro to insert edition number. I use the suffix " ed." after the edition number e.g., 5 ed. . I however would like to set the style 5th ed., th b…
-
No, the simple style generator cannot do that, I have used it to create this style. I now understand where the problem does come from and will take a look at Chicago with footnotes and amend the style I just created. Thanks for the explanation.
-
I have made some amendments to my style and inserted some special characters I could not set in Simple Style Generator - it has perhaps been written in ASCII. Nevetheless I cannot understand where there is not any footnote in my document.

Hi, Thanks very much for your help and your quick reply. Actually, I have nothing at the bottom of the page, not even the number of the citation. Thanks also for your help with the date format.
