MHRA error?

bethwilliamson

As far as I can see, the MHRA style in Zotero, when referring to an edited work or a translated work, gives the abbreviation 'ed by' before the editor's name, or 'trans by' before the translator's name. There should be a full point after 'ed.' and 'trans.' Is there a reasonably quick way of fixing this?

I see why that happens - it's an easy fix, I should get to it very quickly. It looks like this is due to an issue in the auto-conversion of citations styles for Zotero 2.1.1

[for dev purposes - for some reason strip-periods="true" have been added to the <label.. lines - I can see no reason why that's in there]

you can download the fixed style from
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/master/mhra.csl
(right-click --- save link as...) and then install by dragging the downloaded mhra.csl to any open Firefox window. Let me know if you find any other problems.
