<label variable="page"/> does not work #19

Closed andriusvelykis closed 10 years ago

andriusvelykis commented 10 years ago

I am using Jekyll-Scholar with a custom CSL and cannot make the word "pages" appear in the reference.

The issue is with the label for variable pages. As described in CSL specification for Label, I want to get e.g. "pages 342-351" output in the reference. To achieve that, I am using the following group:

<group delimiter=" ">
  <label variable="page"/>
  <text variable="page"/>
</group>

However, Jekyll-Scholar seems to omit the word "page/pages" and only outputs the number. I have created a gist with a minimal CSL (which only outputs this group) and a bib file with pages attribute to reproduce.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported yet?

Hmm, I would have thought this should work.

In any case, the old citeproc-ruby has been deprecated; there is major new release planned (probably this week). I don't know when I'll have time to update jekyll-scholar to use the new version, but hopefully soon.

You can already start playing around with the new citeproc engine. I'll put a quick example in a gist in a moment.

Gist is here: https://gist.github.com/inukshuk/8657987 Let me know when you need help!

Since this is under heavy development feedback is welcome!

Thanks for the quick reply! I hope to give useful feedback, however, my Ruby skills are non-existent.. I am more of a Java guy, but am using Jekyll so at least trying to "read" Ruby blindly.

Having no Ruby skills, I am not very comfortable building my own gems or submitting pull requests - though I could help with feedback and pointing out possible issues, if that is ok with you.

Good to head about citeproc-ruby - if I follow the instructions in the Gist, would it "upgrade" my current citeproc-ruby (v0.0.6) to benefit within Jekyll-Scholar? I really have no idea how it all works :) If there were some instructions how to test the development version within Jekyll-Scholar, I might just do that.

The Gist should not interfere with your current jekyll-scholar setup. You can leave out the lines dealing with existing styles, too, but this would give you a great template for creating your own style (you can just but your CSL in at the bottom).

Once citeproc-ruby is released, we will have to update jekyll-scholar to use the new version. Once that happens we will have much better CSL support and, more importantly, a much cleaner codebase that will hopefully make it easy to improve going forward.
