mla capitalization
mla style capitalizes titles awkwardly (using zotero 2.1.1) If the title is not capitalized in the respective field, the output for the works cited list is automatically capitalized, which would be fine if it were accurate.
The following is in the title field:
Principles of Geology: being an attempt to explain the former changes of the earth's surface by reference to causes now in operation
And it turns into the following in the bibliography:
Principles Of Geology: Being an attempt To Explain the Former Changes Of the Earth’s Surface By Reference To Causes Now In Operation
Any suggestions?

"Principles of Geology: being an attempt to explain the former changes of the earth's surface by reference to causes now in operation"
is not correct MLA.
If you want to, it's possible for you to change that in your local copy of MLA, though
