-  * The file name the style should contain no characters other than lowercase roman letters (a-z), digits (0-9) and single hyphens (-). The file extension should be ”.csl”. E.g. use "style-name.csl” instead of “StyleName.csl”, “Style Name.csl” or “style_name.txt”. Words in the title are customarily separated by a hyphen, e.g. “academic-journal.csl” instead of “academicjournal.csl”.

 ==== Submitting for Casual Coders ====
-The easiest way to submit styles is post a link to your style code on the Zotero forums (do not paste style code directly into your post), using a code sharing website like http://gist.github.com.
