Chicago manual of style: sentence style instead of headline style

u0032617 · May 22, 2015

When using the Chicago Manual of Style (author-date format), the words of titles of books or edited work are sometimes capitalized by zotero when we think it's not necessary or correct. Is there a way in zotero to undo this or to choose between the sentence style and headline style? We would like to use the sentence style for books and edited work.

1) The Chicago Manual is quite clear on pereferring headline-style capitalization of English titles, so the style does this correctly.

2) If you're referring to non-English titles, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/preventing_title_casing_for_non-english_titles

3) if you actually do want to edit the style to not use headline capitalization, remove <code>text-case="title" wherever you find it. General instructions at
