Other CSL issues

[stakats]

Will add various small CSL bugs here as they turn up:

<text value="(text)"/> doesn't seem to work right now.

[stakats]

subsequent-author-substitute does not seem to function properly. For example, try adding the following option to the new APA CSL bibliography section:

<option name="subsequent-author-substitute" value="---"/>

Attaching some sample refs to see what I mean.

With this option set in APA, currently displays as:

Flandrin, J. (1979). Families in Former Times: Kinship, Household and Sexuality in Early Modern France. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

Flandrin, J. (1989). Distinction through Taste. In P. Ariès & G. Duby (Eds.), A History of Private Life: Passions of the Renaissance. 3: Belknap Press (pp. 265-307).

Flandrin, J. (1999). From Dietetics to Gastronomy: The Liberation of the Gourmet. In J.L. Flandrin, M. Montanari, & A. Sonnenfeld (Eds.), Food: A Culinary History from Antiquity to the Present. New York: Columbia University Press (pp. 418-432).

Flandrin, J. (2002). L'Ordre des mets. Paris: Odile Jacob.

---. (1999). Food: A Culinary History from Antiquity to the Present (J. Flandrin, M. Montanari, & A. Sonnenfeld, Eds.). New York: Columbia University Press.

But with this option set, should display as the following, right?

Flandrin, J. (1979). Families in Former Times: Kinship, Household and Sexuality in Early Modern France. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

---. (1989). Distinction through Taste. In P. Ariès & G. Duby (Eds.), A History of Private Life: Passions of the Renaissance. 3: Belknap Press (pp. 265-307).

---. From Dietetics to Gastronomy: The Liberation of the Gourmet. In J.L. Flandrin, M. Montanari, & A. Sonnenfeld (Eds.), Food: A Culinary History from Antiquity to the Present. New York: Columbia University Press (pp. 418-432).

---. (2002). L'Ordre des mets. Paris: Odile Jacob.

Flandrin, J., Montanari, M., & Sonnenfeld, A. (Eds.). (1999). Food: A Culinary History from Antiquity to the Present. New York: Columbia University Press.

Please note that I am not advocating making this change to the APA style, I'm just working through the options for CSL development.

[stakats]

delimiter-precedes-last="always" should not operate on just two authors, correct? With this parameter set, three creators currently display as

Jean-Louis Flandrin, Massimo Montanari, and Albert Sonnenfeld, eds., 1999

which is correct. But two creators will display as

12. W. B. Brockliss, and Colin Jones, 1997

adding an extra comma which seems to be an undesired behavior

[simon]

This is actually the desired behavior, because it's sometimes necessary in bibliography entries. If you do not set the delimiter-precedes-last attribute, you should get the behavior you desire.

[stakats]

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize that there was a third behavior when the attribute was left unspecified.

(In [1579]) - closes #700, Update csledit.xul to use new citation API (I think)

• closes #640, Improve user-entered text character handling
• addresses #701, Other CSL issues
• might add support for <text value="(text)"/> (I haven't tested this)
• fixes a bug where the document preferences window would appear when adding the second reference after Firefox or the document had been opened and closed (introduced in r1577)
• fixes a bug in purging deleted citations

again, this has not been tested in OOo or WinWord

[simon]

(In [1588]) - APA style now uses a period with a space after it

• closes #701, Other CSL issues (Sean, re-open this if/when you have more issues)
  • fixes sorting issues
  • subsequent-author-substitute now works
  • adds citation-number variable
