Upgrade StorageEdit bibliography and angle brackets
I am currently finishing up my master's thesis - a 140 page document with 500 footnotes. Zotero has worked brilliantly, and has made my work so much more streamlined. However, I have found a small kink when editing my bibliography manually.
I have 2 references (Journal articles) that I wish to add an URL for only in the bibliography. I am using the OSCOLA style, and the bibliography entry currently looks like this:
"Heijer, Maarten den, ‘Issues of Shared Responsibility Before the European Court of Human Rights’ [2012] ACIL Research Paper No 2012-04 (SHARES Series)."
I wish to make it look like this:
"Heijer, Maarten den, ‘Issues of Shared Responsibility Before the European Court of Human Rights’ [2012] ACIL Research Paper No 2012-04 (SHARES Series) <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1995498>; last accessed March 28,2012."
However, the angle brackets URL mandated by my style cannot be inserted through "edit bibliography". Zotero seems to strip < and >, including everything inbetween. Instead of "(SHARES Series) <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1995498>; last accessed March 28,2012.", I am left with " last accessed March 28, 2012"
Is this a bug? Or is there a way to "escape" angle brackets so they show up in the bibliography? Or is there something wrong with my installation of Zotero?
PS: I know that it is possible to add the URL to a Zotero field as a workaround, but that means that the URL will show up in my footnotes, which I would rather avoid. I also know that I, as a workaround, may just edit the text of the bibliography directly in word. However, any edits made that way will disappear if I update a reference, entailing that I would have to make a note on a piece of paper to change this just before I export the document to PDF for printing - a bit cumbersome, but workable.

The real way to go would be to have the URL in the URL field in Zotero and modify the style accordingly - that could include having the URL in the bibliography but not the footnotes.
Your suggestion with & lt; and & gt; did not work, btw. Well, well, I'll just work outside the box and add the two URLs manually before exporting my work as a PDF for print :-)
Thanks for the help!
