Chicago 16 ed. - functioning like Chicago 17 ed. regarding 'short title'

SimonLoynes · December 12, 2017

Dear all,

The ibid/short title update for Chicago 17 ed. is described here:

https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/68139/chicago-manual-of-style-citation-styles-updated-to-17th-edition.

However, I am using the Chicago style 16 ed. (full note, no ibid) in my Word document Zotero preferences, but it is functioning in the same way as described above. I prefer the 16 style and want the short title at all times.

Does anyone know if the Chicago 16 ed. style was also updated to function like Chicago 17 ed.?

Thanks,
Simon

That style was removed and now just points to the standard 17th ed. Chicago (full note) style. You would need to the modify the <citation> section of either Chicago (full note)—the 17th edition version—or chicago-fullnote-bibliography-16th-edition.csl to get the other behavior.

Thanks for that.... any chance you (or anyone else!) might know what the code is or have a backup of the 16th edition section?

Code is here:

note that you'll need to change title/link/id to prevent it from auto-updating to the 17th edition.
