Chicago (full-note) titles with forced italics rendered as HTML in subsequent note

escdotdot

Hello,
With a book title including italicised words, styled within Zotero with <i>xxx</i>, these are translated accurately as italics into Word for the first (full) citation, as well as in the bibliography. But for the subsequent citations the <i>xxx</i> is incorrectly translated into the text as <span Class="italic">xxx</span>, so Word seems to be seeing this code as plain text, not style information. The style editor in Zotero shows this mistake too, so I guess the template needs updating?

Thank you!

There isn't any way that Zotero would make that translation on its own. Are you sure that you don't <span Class="italic">xxx</span> entered in the Short Title field in Zotero?

I'm not seeing this and having Zotero produce the span tag would be surprising.
Check your "Short title" field in Zotero, which is what the subsequent citation looks at?

@bwiernik @adamsmith thank you, I apologise for unjustly accusing Zotero. The Short Title does indeed have <span class="italic">xxx</span>. This entry was added using the Zotero Chrome extension, but I guess the information was provided by the source webpage (Cambridge Core)? Anyway, I will amend this and check any other instances.

I'll check on the import from Cambridge. Could you get me a URL from where you imported?

Thanks -- I see where that would have been coming from in the past (they have some messy metadata) but we've since updated the import from Cambridge Core and I'm not seeing the issue anymore.

Thanks for checking. All good now.
