ibid in OSCOLA

oliviahamlyn · June 10, 2015

Zotero currently formats "Ibid" with a capital "i" at the beginning. To be consistent with the OSCOLA style, it needs to be "ibid" with a lower case "i". Can I change this myself? If not, could it be amended, please? Thanks

Even when it starts a footnote?

Yes! I know it's bizarre!

I think we can actually do that, but I'll have to test, might take a couple of days.
I don't recall if you're comfortable doing small modifications yourself, but if you are, what I'd try is to set text-case="lowercase" on the ibid term.

Thanks Adam. I don't really know how to make modifications - can you give me any guidance on how to set lowercase on ibid, or how to find out? It's just that I have to submit this doc by Friday which might be too soon for the change to have happened...

sorry, I couldn't make this happen in time, was travelling, but it's fixed now, FWIW.

Thanks so much Adam. It will be really useful for next time!
