Here is another tricky one. From the spec: "cs:group may carry the delimiter attribute to separate its child elements, as well as affixes and display attributes (applied to the output of the group as a whole) and formatting attributes (transmitted to the enclosed elements)."
My interpretation of this was that each child node inherits the formatting options of cs:group — that they apply to each child node individually and not on the output of all the nodes as a whole. But this test seems to contradict this: https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/src/ab136a6aa8f2/processor-tests/humans/sort_VariousNameMacros2.txt The referenced style is: https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/src/ab136a6aa8f22c011b93a0deed3c9bf38efcec75/styles/journal-of-physiology-bib-sort-test-2.csl?at=default And here I am interested in the "vol-page" macro: <macro name="vol-page"> <choose> <if variable="page"> <group prefix=" " suffix=" " font-weight="bold"> <!--making group bold so that comma after volume is also bold--> <text variable="volume" suffix=","/> </group> <text variable="page"/> </if> <else> <text variable="DOI" prefix="; DOI: "/> </else> </choose> </macro> As you can see there is even a comment highlighting this very issue. The results call for a result like "<b>3,</b>" like the comment suggests, but I would have expected this to still render as "<b>3</b>," because of the fact that the spec says a cs:group's formatting attributes are transmitted to the enclosed elements. I suspect my interpretation of 'transmitted to' is wrong; on the other hand, the rendering implied by the test case seems like there is no special treatment of cs:group formatting attributes, so why would this be mentioned in the spec at all? Thanks! Sylvester
