MHRA - Use of single quotation marks
I am a relatively new user of Zotero and although I managed to find answers to most of my questions without creating a new discussion topic, I could not figure out a couple of things. One of these is the use of single quotation marks.
I am using Zotero Stand Alone and MHRA style. In the MHRA, everything should be given in single quotation marks. All the single quotation marks I enter are turned into double quotation marks, be they in the title of a book, or in an extended explanation for a footnote. Is there a way to prevent this? I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
It sounds like that's not what's happening for you, though, so it's possible that Zotero is overzealous.
Achilles in Rome: The Latin 'Iliad' of Baebius Italicus
The title of the book turns into italics as it's supposed to be. However, since Iliad is the title of another book, it needs to be in single quotation marks according to the MHRA style guide. But Zotero turns these into double quotation marks, no matter they are in single or double quotation marks in your original entry.
