When using some citation styles (Vancouver, IEEE, probably others...) the reference list will be shoved off to the right side of the page (often completely departing the visible document area) by a large quantity of whitespace (LaTeX complains about overfull hboxes).
This can be seen with the project's own example by changing the citation style from APA to Vancouver.
Attempting to reproduce it using the example with the IEEE style gives me a "Misplaced tab alignment character &.", but commenting lines 20, 44, and 50 will allow it to compile and demonstrate the same issue.

Great project by the way!

I tried example.tex with other .csl styles, but without luck. For example, if I replace plainwith Zeitschrift für Fantastikforschung (Deutsch) which I wrote, the compilation produces all kinds of errors and completely borked pdf (.log attached)
example.log
.

Hello! I'm really interested in using this package but somehow I can't make it work.
I am trying to compile the same example as in the readme,

\documentclass{article}

I am on a [derivative of] Ubuntu 20.04, I installed the latest TexLive [2022] manually and the latest Lua.
When I do lualatex test.tex I get

where the interesting bit is scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-bib.lua:158: invalid use of '%' in replacement string. I commented that line out and ran again and this time I got a similar error that says

scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-bib.lua:405: bad argument #1 to 'lower' (string expected, got nil)

so I went to that line and changed

  if bib_fields.eprint and string.lower(bib_fields.eprinttype) == "pubmed" and not item.PMID then

to

  if bib_fields.eprint and bib_fields.eprinttype and string.lower(bib_fields.eprinttype) == "pubmed" and not item.PMID then

to avoid the error. Now when I run lualatex it kinda hangs, cpu working but nothing really happening.

Can you help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Describe the bug
With two citations of the same year by the same author we get for example <author>1988a, 1988b
when using biblatex and an authoryear style. With citation-style-language we get it the other way round

What is worse, processing of the bibliography and in-text citations fails, nothing is produced. I've found this thanks to this question on TeX.sx.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{citation-style-language}
\cslsetup{style = apa}
\addbibresource{examples.bib}

\begin{document}

\cite{texbook}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

examples.bib:

@book{texbook,
  author = {Donald E. Knuth},
  year = {1986},
  title = {The {TeX} Book},
  publisher = {Addison-Wesley Professional}
}

@book{texbook,
  author = {Donald E. Knuth},
  year = {1986},
  title = {The {TeX} Book},
  publisher = {Addison-Wesley Professional}
}

I can't seem to get a long citation to appear.
I'm using the turabian-fullnote-bibliography.csl file (standard CSL, no changes on my part).

I've attached a Word document and Word PDF to show that the long citation appears in Word (through Zotero, using the same style: Turabian 8th edition [full note]).
testLongCiteWord.docx
testLongCiteWord.pdf

I've also attached the output PDF produced by lualatex.
testLongCite.pdf

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing specific, but thought you should know about this @zepinglee (will have an iteration of the pandoc citation support "soon").

https://github.com/jgm/djot.lua

Would suggest making sure, if feasible and practical, that you don't always assume a TeX backend.

For example, this module for the lua-based Sile typesetting system already supports it.

https://github.com/Omikhleia/markdown.sile
https://github.com/Omikhleia/markdown.sile#native-djot-package

And they have an issue for bib support:

Omikhleia/markdown.sile#10

I've installed everything correctly. I've read the package documentation from top to bottom thrice. And I just can't make the package work. Every time I run a super simple code I get from 177 to 186 errors saying things like:

• citation-style-language error: "incompatible-package". The 'babelbib' package is incompatible with `citation-style-language'.
• citation-style-language error: "incompatible-package". The 'biblatex' package is incompatible with `citation-style-language'.

I need to cite a book review but it's not meant to appear in my bibliography.

Describe the bug
running this with pdflatex or xelatex works fine.
But running with lualatex the   in the file csl-locales-de-DE.xml
which should be a non breakable space is for lualatex a linebreak (see
image and the linebreak between u. a., which is et al in german).

If I change the   to   in the file csl-locales-de-DE.xml,
(line no 77 , localisation for et-al), then it works for lualatex, but
gives an error for pdflatex.

If you spot my error please let me know.

I have not tried this package in LaTeX yet, but it looks very handy and a game changer (for sure) to boost citation formatting!

I always work with "author-year" (e.g. Harvard family) citation styles. Usually, I have several citations in the form of "year-only" as the author(s) are typed explicitly in the text. The latex commands are \citeyearpar in natbib/bibtex, or the \parencite* in biblatex.

This package ("citation-style-language"/ "citeproc-lua") appears to not provide the translation of the above ("year-only") citation commands. I have scanned the source files in this repo and found the "suppress-author" property, defined at: #L199

I am curious to see if the following code can provide the needed feature (i.e. to define a translation for the \citeyearpar and \parencite*):

Edits to the file: ./latex/citation-style-language-cite.sty

• Add this at Line #34:

\NewDocumentCommand \citeyearpar { o o m } { \__csl_cite_year:nnn {#1} {#2} {#3} }

\NewDocumentCommand \parencite*{ o o m } { \__csl_cite_year:nnn {#1} {#2} {#3} }

• Add this at Line #114:
  \cs_new:Npn \__csl_cite_year:nnn #1#2#3 { \seq_clear:N \l__csl_cite_keys_seq \seq_clear:N \l__csl_citation_items_seq \prop_clear:N \l__csl_citation_properties_prop \__csl_process_cite_input:nnn {#1} {#2} {#3} \__csl_process_citation_info:NN \l__csl_cite_keys_seq \l__csl_citation_items_seq \prop_put:Nnn \l__csl_citation_properties_prop { noteIndex } { 0 } \prop_put:Nnn \l__csl_citation_properties_prop { mode } { suppress-author} \bool_set_false:N \l__csl_note_bool \__csl_make_citation:N \l__csl_citation_info_prop }

End of suggestions.

I am not sure if the suggestions above will be successful to add the needed feature to provide compatibility for natbib command \citeyearpar and the equivalent biblatex command \parencite*. In particular, I don't know the actual behaviour of \l__csl_citation_properties_prop { mode } { suppress-author}: does it just print the year-only citation?

Thanks for providing such very practical package.

First of all, thank you very much for creating and maintaining such a helpful tool. I would like to report a bug as follows.

The error does not happen for all bib entries. zankl_kunstliche_2019 works, while schweighofer_rechtsinformatik_1999 causes the error. A handful of other entries seem to work, while most others also cause it.

When clearing out the bib file and leaving e.g only schweighofer_rechtsinformatik_1999 the issue remains.

For all entries that the error does not happen a correct pdf is created when running lualatex example.tex twice.

N/A

Running citeproc on the aux file does not produce a bbl file here. I don't get an error message, so I cannot really say more. All I can say is that the sequence mentioned in the readme doesn't do anything for me.

pdflatex test.tex
pdflatex test.aux
pdflatex test.tex

Using lualatex works though.

I was new to Lua when starting project so I followed https://www.lua.org/pil/16.2.html to design the API: CiteProc:new() is used to create a new processor instance and citeproc.lua returns the class table. However the API looks bad after I read https://github.com/luarocks/lua-style-guide and http://hisham.hm/2014/01/02/how-to-write-lua-modules-in-a-post-module-world/. I decide to refactor the code to follow the LuaRocks style.

• citeproc.lua will return a module table.
• citeproc.new() will be used to initialize a processor instance.
• CiteProc:makeBibliography() and CiteProc:makeCitationCluster() will be renamed to make_bibliography and make_citation to meet the naming convention.

@michal-h21 do you have any suggestions?

Just wondering, how are you planning to support citation commands beyond the default \cite?

I see your reasonable discussion of this in the manual, but there is still room for additional options.

For example, citet/textcite can be supported now, and is in some other implementations (pandoc, org, etc). To do it conceptually is basically "author + suppress author".

The support planned for 1.1 is really so that one can define different author rendering in text, and in parentheses (as is required in APA actually).

But FWIW, citeproc-el, which is used in the new org-mode csl processor, has added some additional rendering options.

https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el

After going through this with the org-mode citation design, I do think commands are a bit of a rabbit hole, however; it's hard to know what the right balance is.

Conceptually, CSL is designed around an approach similar to the biblatex high-level ("style-independent") commands, like autocite. Perhaps one option is to take a handful of biblatex (and/or natbib; not sure) commands that fit with CSL's design? Maybe textcite, fullcite, nocite to start?

PS - does this mean you've looked at CSL 1.1? Do you see any problem with supporting it in the future?

First, this looks great!

But I did run into problems being able to run the example file.

1. I found I got an error about a missing "inspect" package.
2. I installed that using luarocks, and still got the error.
3. I then symlinked it to the texmfhome dir, and that ran, but ...
4. I got an error about a missing locale file.

After I sorted that all out, I did get it to run, with reasonable output, but got an error about an unsupported "en-US" locale.

Hi,

As a researcher and developer in Japan, I'm super happy to see that the cs:layout extension of CSL-M has been supported in citeproc-lua. 🙇 I just confirmed that the feature works fine with a few CSL-M style files!

A missing feature is the cs:alternative extension such as alt-translator. Would you happen to have a plan to support the extension?

Here is an example of a bibliography item that contains alt-translator, alt-issued, alt-publisher-place, and alt-publisher.

To Reproduce

If you have a full texlive installation, compile example.tex with the commands:

pdflatex example
citeproc-lua example
make4ht -a debug example

Alternatively, if you have docker installed:

docker run \
  --rm \
  texlive/texlive \
  /bin/sh -c '
    git clone https://github.com/zepinglee/citeproc-lua.git && \
    cd citeproc-lua/examples && \
    pdflatex example && \
    citeproc-lua example && \
    make4ht -a debug example \
  '

In a very long .bib, my colleague has collected many items. One item had two keys in it:

  HAL_ID={hal-03186401},
  HAL_VERSION={v1},

When I run this in texlive 2022 (on overleaf, but it's been reproduced outside), it fails to compile with a timeout.

When I remove those two keys, it runs.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass{article}

Is it possible to use a CSL JSON file directly with \addbibresource{}? Is it even a good idea? I think it could eliminate one potentially lossy references conversion in my workflow.

I'm working with Zotero/Better BibTeX to translate my Zotero references to Bib(La)Tex format. Then using citeproc-lua via the citation-style-language LaTeX package to enable use of CSL styles in my LaTeX documents. If I understand it correctly, citeproc-lua converts from BibTeX to CSL JSON internally.

Zotero/Better BibTeX can export directly from Zotero to CSL JSON (and other formats like YAML, etc., https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/tree/master/translators). If citeproc-lua/citation-style-language.sty could use the JSON file directly, it could cut out one format conversion.

With the following JSON file:

\addbibresource{myBib.json}

Do you know what the error is?

When using a citation style with numeric citations (e.g., nature), a command like "\cite{ProgressAndPromise,10YrsGWAS,GWAScatalog,15YrsGWAS}" generates the superscript citation "14" instead of the expected "1-4".

I've read the documentation for the citation-style-language package, but I cannot see how to fix this seemingly basic problem. What am I missing? I can provide a minimal reproducible example, if needed.

https://discourse.citationstyles.org/t/solved-store-my-new-csl-file-local-and-use-in-texstudio/1798

Hello, am just a user here. Not too deeply involved into any packages.
Still, a BIG THANK YOU for this package! 👍 My utmost gratitude!

The problem:

There seems to be a compatibility issue with the babel package (unless i configured it wrongly).

• The first run of lualatex works without a hitch.
• The second run of lualatex took waaaaay to long. I waited 15 minutes until i closed texmaker and then had to force cancel the process in windows task manager.

Minimal non-working example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

      \usepackage{citation-style-language}
	   \cslsetup{
				style = apa,
				}

	
      \usepackage[english]{babel}

      \addbibresource{bibliography.bib} 

\begin{document}

      test \cite{Glass20210607PGP} test. 

      \printbibliography

\end{document}

Here the bibliographic data:

@Article{Glass20210607PGP,
  author    = {Glass, Nicola},
  date      = {2021-06-07},
  title     = {Proteste Gegen Putschisten – Widerstand in Den Nachbarländern Myanmar Und Thailand},
  doi       = {10.11588/XAREP.00004477},
  url       = {http://crossasia-repository.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/4477/},
  urldate   = {2021-09-08},
  file      = {:Glass (2021) Proteste gegen Putschisten - Widerstand in Maynmar und Thailand.pdf:PDF},
  keywords  = {Political science, FOS: Political science, Military science},
  publisher = {Heidelberg University Library},
  urn       = {urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-crossasiarep-44775},
}

Removing the line \usepackage[english]{babel} leads to a successful compilation within seconds.

Additional info:

I used the version of the citation-style-language package from MiKTeX, which was packaged on 24.01.2022.

If no style is defined we get the warning message

Package citation-style-language Warning: Style name not specified.

which is okay. But it is more user-friendly if it could use a default style, apa or whatever:

    Package citation-style-language Warning: Style name not specified.
    Will use default style apa ...

The problem is that the warning will be an error when running citeproc-lua

[...]
Database file #1: biblatex-examples.bib
.../scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-latex-core.lua:218: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local 'style_name')

Describe the bug
When executing lualatex test.tex or citeproc-lua text.tex, the error mentioned in the title occurs

The correlation between the first and second pregnancy HPV-16 serum antibody levels of the same woman was high, even when {$>$}4 years had elapsed between pregnancies (r = .822).

Correlation coefficients, predictive values, and kappa coefficients between serial samples all were comparable with those of repeat analyses of the same sample, indicating that HPV capsid antibody levels are generally stable during several years of follow-up.},

With lualatex, you will get the original error. When compiled using

$ pdflatex mwe
$ citeproc-lua mwe

You will get:

...f-dist/scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-util.lua:181: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local 'message')

Describe the bug
Two consecutive cites to the same reference are considered "subsequent" but not "Ibid (with locator)".
This happens when name-as-sort-order="all" and that the reference only has one author. It doesn't happen if it has more than one author or if name-as-sort-order="first".

Second\cite[page = 105--130]{Lits1999}

Describe the bug

Forgive me for not making a PR, but I believe you will be able to code a better solution if this needs patching. The cause may be due to my bib file being dirty rather than this being a bug in the code!

However, I patched citeproc-bibtex2csl.lua:

-  if bib_fields.eprint and string.lower(bib_fields.eprinttype) == "pubmed" and not item.PMID then
-    item.PMID = bib_fields.eprint

To:

+  if type(bib_fields.eprinttype) == "string" then
+    if bib_fields.eprint and string.lower(bib_fields.eprinttype) == "pubmed" and not item.PMID then
+      item.PMID = bib_fields.eprint
+    end
+  else
+    item.PMID = ""
+   end

This will catch bib entries which fail when string.lower(bib_fields.eprinttype) it is of type/value nil not string. This solved an error in my tex document.

Hi, I've found few issues the text_escape function in the LaTeX formatter. One issue is fatal, there is a missing string concatenation in string.gsub. The second issue is missing escaping of the $ pattern, so it adds $ character at end of each string. So the example Lua script produces something like: (\$F.G.\$ \$Bennett\$ \$Jr.,\$ \$2009\$; \$B.\$ \$D’Arcus\$, \$2005\$)\$, for example.

Here is a patch that should fix these issues.

Perusing the project history shows that it evolves (and progresses) much faster than TeXLive (especially distribution-packaged versions of TeXLive...). However, how to to replace the TeXLive verison to the last Github version isn't absolutely obvious to the LaTeX end-user who would like to use the corrected/expanded/new features without diving in the finesses of Lua unit testing...

A small paragraph explaining how to install/uninstall rhe github version on top of TeXLive-installed one would be welcome...

desired outcome:

something relative to: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/18910/multiple-citations-with-pages-using-biblatex?noredirect=1&lq=1

I have read In other packages, several commands are provided for producing citations in different styles such as \citet, \citep, \parencite, and \footnotecite. In citation-style-language package, however, the format of citations is fixed as formatted in CSL style and it is impossible to select another format without modifying the .csl style file in the documentation.

Does this mean, it is absolutely impossible to cite multiple citations with pages?

Hi, great to see that there will be robust CSL support in LaTeX because that is something that non-mathematician users have been asking for for a long time.

I have an issue when trying to compile the example with pdflatex: the .aux file looks like this,

with apparently encoding-related parts, and then obviously pdflatex complains about the command \OT being undefined. No issue when using lualatex though.

When citeproc-lua with lualatex is used, the url gets hyphenated, which makes them unusable! I have provided a MWE here and can anyone please tell from where did (Original Work Published) come in the output?

Wow, that's an interesting project. Do you think a context integration would be feasible?

I'm using APA style, with citation-style-language {2022-09-23} {v0.2.2} in TexLive 2022, and compiling with LuaLatex. DOIs should be converted to URLs in the reference list by prepending https://doi.org/ to the DOI. However, when package hyperref is also used, only the first reference in the list has https://doi.org/ prepended to the DOI. Here's a MRE:

In LaTeX formatter, we need the item.id field in order to construct the \bibitem command. It is used traditionally in thebibliography for cross-referencing. You can then jump from the \cite command in the document directly to the bibliography.

I think it is just necessary to change the linek 651 in node.lua to:

    res = self:get_engine().formatter["@bibliography/entry"](res,item)

BTW, if you intend to publish this package to CTAN, it may be a good idea to rename the Lua files to citeproc-node.lua, citeproc-formatter.lua, etc. They have the policy of using prefixes to prevent filename clashes. I had to rename some of my projects in the past because of this.

I understand that CSL is not constrained to Zotero, still I wonder whether some kind of integration is planned. I am merely thinking of two areas:

• Accessing Zotero bibliographic data. This would massively facilitate the ability to use the same data with different tools/writing apps.

• Accessing the CSL styles installed by Zotero. This would eliminate the need to have all auxiliary files installed two times.

How much time till the \footcite implementation? I need it so bad for my thesis. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hey,

great project, thank you for sharing it! In order to use it for German references, I had to modify citeproc-bib.lua and thought you might be interested in my code as you left a "-- TODO: unicode chars like "{o}" in bib.unescape. So here's my simple code inserted below that TODO:
str = string.gsub(str, "\"o", "ö")
str = string.gsub(str, "\"a", "ä")
str = string.gsub(str, "\"u", "ü")
str = string.gsub(str, "\"O", "Ö")
str = string.gsub(str, "\"A", "Ä")
str = string.gsub(str, "\"U", "Ü")

Additionally, I found that str = string.gsub(str, "\%%", "%") leads to this error for some files: "...mf-dist/scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-bib.lua:158: invalid use of '%' in replacement string", where line 158 is str = string.gsub(str, "\%%", "%"). My quick fix was to simply comment it out, but I guess you can do better than me and maybe fix that issue? :)

Cheers

Hi, here is a patch for citeproc-node-sort.lua that adds support for sorting using Lua-UCA. One thing that is missing is the language setting interface. The code expects bibliography language setting in context.lang, but you may want to name it differently. A function that will set it will be necessary.

The following code produces the right (expected) output:

\usepackage{citation-style-language}
\cslsetup{style = chicago-fullnote-bibliography}

\begin{document}
test.\cite[prefix = {See the opposite view in },
page = 1]{Williams1992-Heaven20}
\newpage
\printbibliography
\end{document}

The following code (with the command in the prefix) fails to produce a footnote or final reference:

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{article}
\usepackage{citation-style-language}
\cslsetup{style = chicago-fullnote-bibliography}
\addbibresource{myBib.json}
\begin{document}
test.\cite[prefix = {See the \textit{opposite} view in },
page = 1]{Williams1992-Heaven20}
\newpage
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thanks,
Nick

I've ran into the problem that I wanted to get the heading of \printbibliography to another font size and remove the space between page top and heading.

Is there any command to do this?

Thank you very much!
