SBL 2nd ed. "Article in an Encyclopedia or a Dictionary"
I've noticed that the citation style for articles in an encyclopedia or dictionary produced by Zotero does not match the style prescribed by the SBL Handbook (2nd ed.), page 94. Could the Zotero style for such entries be changed? Or, have I input the information incorrectly into Zotero?
Here's what Zotero currently produces for me:
1. Moshe J. Bernstein, “Scriptures: Quotation and Use,” ed. Lawrence H. Schiffman and James C. VanderKam, EDSS* (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000).
Bernstein, Moshe J. “Scriptures: Quotation and Use.” Edited by Lawrence H. Schiffman and James C. VanderKam. EDSS*. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000.
*appears in italics within a Word document
Here's what the SBL handbook prescribes:
1. Moshe J. Bernstein, “Scriptures: Quotation and Use,” EDSS* 2:839–42
Bernstein, Moshe J. “Scriptures: Quotation and Use.” EDSS* 2:839–42.
Thank you.

You can make the italics by doing this:
<i>italics text</i>
edit:
I think this actually has to do with the way this is in Zotero. The Oxford University press etc tells me this is handled like a book.
The 2:839-42 tells you want this handled as a journal (or book chapter)?
What does it say for the item type in Zotero for you?
