Small error in citation style when using Ooo vs MS Word

Julien Demade

When using a citation style with following code:

<term name="ordinal-01">ᵉ</term>
<term name="ordinal-02">ᵉ</term>
<term name="ordinal-03">ᵉ</term>
<term name="ordinal-04">ᵉ</term>

it works perfectly fine both in the Zotero Reference Test pane and (from reports I have had) with MS Word, but with Ooo (under Ubuntu 10.04) instead of getting, for instance, "2e" (with "e" in upper case), one gets "2?".

I fixed the bug by correcting the code as

<term name="ordinal-01">e</term>
<term name="ordinal-02">e</term>
<term name="ordinal-03">e</term>
<term name="ordinal-04">e</term>

but this is less correct ("e" is not in upper case any more). And anyway there seems to be a potential problem of compatibility between Ooo and Zotero here.

Does the following work?

edit: the formatting you're describing is superscript, not upper case.

Sorry for the slow reaction (week-end...)
Unfortunately it doesn't work, it comes out as, for instance

J. Harris, William Beveridge : A Biography, 2^e éd., Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1997

Sorry for having written upper case instead of superscript, my English is quite rusty!

We've also been trying, but it didn't function as well (in order for the code to appear as such, I put points after every sign):

&.#.x.1.d.4.9.;.

About my first post, to clarify things as the code does not appear as such, the problematic code (between ><) is

&.#.7.4.9.7.;.

Strange. What Rintze said should work. That seems to be an Ooo issue.

Julien Demade

As it appears, the problem is neither a Zotero nor an Ooo issue, as the problem does not appear when one uses Ooo with Windows => the problem is an Ubuntu 10.04 issue (that's my OS), at least, and perhaps a more broader Ubuntu issue, or even a Linux issue.
