capitalisation after the hyphen in work title
Dear Zotero community,
I would like to mention a problem I encounter when I use zotero citations on MS Word. When I refer to a book title, such as "sicill-i osmani", the option is either to make it sentence-style: "Sicill-i osmani", or the title-style (which I prefer): "Sicill-I Osmani". Here is the problem, in the field I study, the letter after the hyphen should never be capitalised. So, the correct citation should be "Sicill-i Osmani" (because "i" is not a separate word but only a case). What can I do to make zotero not capitalise -exclusively- after a hyphen?

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.
Your only current option is to enclose letter or words you don't want to see capitalized with <span class="nocase">word</span> in Zotero.
Quite ugly, obviously, but it'll at least work.

For instance, with the plug-in installed on zotero standalone version, the imaginary titles below appear on the word references as how I write them here:
Sicill-u Turki
Sicill-Ut Turki
Sicill-U
And thanks for the language field tip, I did not know about it, and I am sure I will use it at times.
