Upgrade StorageCiteproc: same author, different particles parsing, subsequent-author-substitute
It's not really a bug, but a curious/inconsistent behaviour of the processor.
Step to reproduce:
Create two items with the author field filled as follows [lastname, firstname]:
[de Beauregard, Jean]
[Beauregard, Jean de]
These two fields are parsed differently: in the first case, "de" is a non-dropping particle; in the latter case "de" is dropping. That's correct.
But if you create a bibliography with CMS (or any style which uses the "subsequent-author-substitute" attribute), the output is:
de Beauregard, Jean. Title
–––. Title
as if the names were identical, both with non-dropping particles.
Obviously in this case, a real user should clean up its data (I was just testing the new parsing module).

fbennettWell spotted. It's easy to discriminate the two cases, if there is general agreement (it seems to me that doing so would avoid unnecessary confusion).

Gracileedited August 28, 2015Yes, I agree, even if it's just confusing and not really an issue. [Actually, one can say that it's a feature to make it consistent (except if you've two perfect homonyms with the only difference that their particles are not of the same "nature" – improbable).]
-
fbennettEven with demote-non-dropping-particle="display-and-sort", the form of the name for dropping and non-dropping particles differs in-text (i.e. in author-date citations) for the short form name. As you say, it's an edge case, but I guess I'll go ahead and make the change.

adamsmithFWIW, I agree these shouldn't be treated as identical, even if they're very similar.

Agree on treating names with different types of particles as distinct names.
