Upgrade StorageIbid not being applied in MLA
I hope this issue has not been covered... I spent a week trying to find the answer. :(
My issue is that "Ibid" is not showing up when I repeat a citation. This is in the main text, not a footnote. My example text is below. I am writing in Scrivener and putting in the scannable cites. After I do the RTF Scan in Zotero Standalone, I open the new version (with citations) in Libre Office. My citing style is MLA version 7 (date 09-21-14).
What am I doing wrong?
Paul Oppenheimer, in The Birth of the Modern Mind, argues that “[m]odern thought and literature begin with the invention of the sonnet” { | Oppenheimer, 1989 | 3 | |zu:692935:ETUT7XMV}. Although the sonnet form is “too often assumed to be the sign of aesthetic and political conservatism” { | Oppenheimer, 1989 | 63 | |zu:692935:ETUT7XMV}, the sonnet’s double-voiced design gives the form an unusual flexibility.

What makes you think it should?
(edit: I assume that's just a typo and you know this, but those markers are for ODF scan. They won't work at all using RTF)
There is not a single major English-language style that uses ibid for in text citation. I've only ever seen this in continental Europe.
