[xbiblio-devel] Proposal: add volume-title as a CSL variable

2013-09-03 Thread Nick Bart
I'd like to repeat a proposal first made by adam3smith in Jan 2013 at https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/issues/54, which apparently has not been posted on a CSL list or issue tracker before. The proposal is to add volume-title as a CSL variable, intended to hold (a) the title of a single

[xbiblio-devel] Locale files: Use ordinal instead of suffix=. in some date formats

2014-01-05 Thread Nick Bart
Date formats in some locales, including Danish, German, Hungarian and others, contain dots, as, e.g., Danish 1. Marts 2013. CSL locale files specify such date formats as date form=text date-part name=day suffix=. / date-part name=month suffix= / date-part name=year/ /date The

2014-05-12 Thread Nick Bart
Maybe someone more familiar with CSL could shed more light on this, but based on the actual behaviour of most CSL styles I always took it that paper-conference (Zotero: Conference Paper) is to be used for formally published papers only, analogous to biblatex's inproceedings. The type that usually

it'd be better if Zotero would get fields for both in the future. For Presentation/speech, however, I feel Place should be exported to event-place only.) On 13 May 2014 19:14, Joseph Reagle joseph.2...@reagle.org wrote: Hi Nick, On 05/12/2014 03:43 PM, Nick Bart wrote: The type that usually

[xbiblio-devel] Proposal: “collection-title” as number variable; new CSL term for (Journal) “Series”

2014-07-16 Thread Nick Bart
Proposal: Allow “collection-title” to be a number variable; introduce new CSL term for “Series”, to allow for, e.g., “5” in a “collection-title” variable to be ordinalized and combined with a term for “Series” in a locale-specific manner to result in, e.g., “5th ser.”, or “5ᵉ sér.”, etc.

Re: [xbiblio-devel] Generating formatted Citations for the Web from MODs

2014-12-03 Thread Nick Bart
Matthew, I don't know what motivated you or your organization to choose MODS; the main problem I see is that MODS is nowhere as standardized as biblatex, bibtex (which I would consider to be too limited for serious use though), or CSL; so if I were you I'd probably try to use one of these formats

[xbiblio-devel] Proposal: new CSL variable multivolume-title (or similar) rather than volume-title

2015-03-12 Thread Nick Bart
I'd like to invite everyone to reconsider: I have come to the conclusion that introducing `volume-title` (see https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/issues/111) is not the optimal solution. Reason: For a book (a single volume that is part of a multivolume monograph) with a `title` and

Before inviting feedback on a number of questions, here’s my reasoning again: According to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16e, 8.10, 16.71, “Pieter van den Keere” needs to appear in the text (leaving capitalisation issues aside) as “van den Keere” and in the bibliography as “Keere, Pieter van den”.

I agree: neither parentheses (nor [] or {}, for that matter), nor quotes (plain or curly, single or double), nor HTML-like markup should disable conversion to title case. On 15 November 2015 at 06:04, Frank Bennett wrote: > Sounds good. That was my question on that one. >

Re: [xbiblio-devel] Title-case questions

Yes, definitely. Since there is no mechanism to explicitly force uppercase, the titlecaser needs to be inclusive by default, and we must be able to selectively suppress capitalisation where it is incorrect. `` markup, e.g., `The Arabidopsis lyrata genome sequence and the basis of rapid genome
