Initial HTML Tags in citation prefixes

warstudent
HTML tags are supported in the Prefix and Suffix functions. However, they only seem to work if the tag is not the first thing in the prefix.

I'm trying to achieve this (bold text added for ease of diagnosis):

Insha’Allah is an Arabic phrase meaning ‘God willing’. It is typically used in reference to events which may or may not happen in future. Another Arabic word, bukra, may have a bearing on this particular attitude. ... See Christopher J. Moore, In Other Words: A Language Lover’s Guide to the Most Intriguing Words Around the World (Walker Books, 2004), 69.

However, what I get is:

<i>Insha’Allah</i> is an Arabic phrase meaning ‘God willing’. It is typically used in reference to events which may or may not happen in future. Another Arabic word, bukra, may have a bearing on this particular attitude. ... See Christopher J. Moore, In Other Words: A Language Lover’s Guide to the Most Intriguing Words Around the World (Walker Books, 2004), 69.

So the function still works within the text string, and elsewhere in the citation. It only doesn't work (as far as I can see) when the prefix text starts with an HTML tag. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? (I am using version 5.0.41, Chicago style.)

Thanks for any help!

    Definitely looks like a bug -- classic add citation dialog or the regular one with the red frame?

    The parsing is being tripped up by the embedded apostrophe. For an immediate fix, change it to a single quote.

    Bug fixed in latest processor release. In this case it's probably simplest to just change the input, but the updated processor is available for testing via the Propachi plugin for the Zotero standalone client, just in case.

    I use the red box for inputting citations. Changing the apostrophe for a single quote seemed to work.

    Thanks for the help!
