CMS Author-Date Style Error
I'm having problems with the bibliography in CMS - author date. Formatting of paper/article/thesis titles (quotes, mostly) is inconsistent with CMS, even though they're entered into Zotero correctly. Example - Thesis, as cited by Zotero:
Lahr, Derek. 2009. Development of a Novel Cam-based Infinitely Variable Transmission. Master’s Thesis, Blacksburg, VA: Virginia Tech, December 28. http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-11192009-124025/.
Should be (according to CMS's website):
Lahr, Derek. 2009. "Development of a Novel Cam-based Infinitely Variable Transmission." Master’s Thesis, Blacksburg, VA: Virginia Tech, December 28. http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-11192009-124025/.
Conference paper, as cited by Zotero:
Kral, C., A. Haumer, and F. Pirker. 2007. A Modelica library for the simulation of electrical asymmetries in multiphase machines - The extended machines library. In 2007 IEEEInternational Symposium on Diagnostics for Electric Machines, Power Electronics and Drives, 60-65. 345 E 47th ST, New York, NY 10017 USA: IEEE.
Should be:
Kral, C., A. Haumer, and F. Pirker. 2007. "A Modelica library for the simulation of electrical asymmetries in multiphase machines - The extended machines library." In 2007 IEEEInternational Symposium on Diagnostics for Electric Machines, Power Electronics and Drives, 60-65. 345 E 47th ST, New York, NY 10017 USA: IEEE.
I just got raked over the coals by my dissertation committee for this - anyone else have this problem? Running version 2.1.10.

I'll see when I get to it.
Dirty little secret: I'm the guy that created the CSL style language. I NEVER critique grad students for minor details of citation style.
I know that part of the point of a reference manager is that you don't have to, but we're not quite there yet.
edit: update the style be re-installing it from the repository at
www.zotero.org/styles . For a document to update you may have to switch to a different style and back.
