Upgrade StorageSingle quotation marks for cultivar names
Hello,
I am working on a paper currently formatted using the "Elsevier - Harvard (with titles)" format. However, this style is US English only and hence enforces use of double quotation marks.
In general, this is correct -- but not for cultivar names. Unfortunately, the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants states quite specifically (in article 14.1) that "Cultivar status is indicated by enclosing the cultivar epithet within single quotation marks. Double quotation marks and the abbreviations cv. and var. are not to be used within a name to distinguish cultivar epithets; such use is to be corrected."
That is, /Vitis vinifera/ L. 'Cabernet Sauvignon' is correct, but /Vitis vinifera/ L. "Cabernet Sauvignon" or /Vitis vinifera/ L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon are incorrect and must be changed.
Is there some way to over-rule the automatic conversion of single quotes to double quotes for cultivar names?
Thanks!
