Bibtex export book chapter problem

Hi, I am planning to use your zotero to bibtex export filter for my thesis.

I noticed that if the reference is of type Book Section (or inBook on
the Bibtex side), the "title" field is exported to a "title" field in
bibtex (it should be "chapter") and the "Book title" field is exported
to "journal" (it should be "chapter").

How can I change the XML code to satisfy the BibTeX standard behaviour.
Thanks, Ben

    Both title and book title should be "chapter"?

    You can edit the BibTeX translator with Scaffold. You should first make sure you have the latest version of the BibTeX translator (which due to its size isn't served to 1.0 clients) by clicking Reset Translators and Styles in the Advanced pane of the Zotero prefs.
  • Surely he meant the 'Book title' zotero field should be exported as a BibTeX 'Title' if using '@inbook.'

    However: BibTeX styles do differ, but some assume that 'chapter' is a chapter number in an '@inbook.'

    It might be preferable to export a booksection as '@incollection'. Zotero's 'Title' would remain a BibTeX 'title.' Zotero's 'Book Title' would become a BibTeX 'booktitle'.
