Add locator `margin-number` #82

Closed georgd closed 4 years ago

georgd commented 4 years ago

In German language legal literature, paragraphs or groups of paragraphs are usually consecutively numbered in the page margin. If present, these margin-numbers are preferred to any other pinpoint. Currently, legal styles misuse one of the lesser used locators. It’s definitely not viable to use paragraph instead, as this locator is used in legal texts on its own right.

As this is a central feature of German legal citation, a new locator margin-number should be added.

Our extended locators each have a short-code (para. for paragraph, sec. for section etc.). Each is a single string of lowercase roman characters. What would be a suitable short-code for margin-number?

georgd commented 4 years ago

That’s not a code but a string for display, isn’t it? TBH, I don’t know what the correct short form in English would be. I even had problems to find an English translation for the German ‘Randnummer’ or ‘Randziffer’. Perhaps m-n.?

The German names are Randnummer and short: Rn.

fbennett commented 4 years ago

The short-codes are used to set a localizable term directly in the field. That gives us a much larger set of labels than those supplied by the UI. "rn." seems a good candidate for this one: when the term is undefined, it reverts to the literal short-code (without localization or pluralization). That reminds me to ask: is there a pural form of Rn.?

Thanks for the explanation. There's no specific plural form of the short form. The full form's plural is Randnummern.

That would be a good addition, yes. Perhaps we should consider this for csl 1.1. @bwiernik wdyt?

fbennett commented 4 years ago

This should now to working in citeproc-js 1.4.26 (commit at https://github.com/Juris-M/citeproc-js/commit/58adb58e578676f8cde1f3f336341f61acc4948e#diff-749fde5b44f91ad90a2478a03e8e8bd6L81). citeproc-test-runner and the Jurism beta have been updated to the new processor. Documentation here.

@denismaier @georgd don't see any issue with more locators--that's just a simple lookup table. Can you consolidate locator suggestions into the issue you opened on the CSL schema repo for it?
