    @danstillman the Zotero sentence-case text-transform turns Title <i>with</i> <span class="nocase">MARKUP</span> into Title <i>with</i> <span class="nocase">markup</span>

    @ryofurue I may have a (partial) solution for imports. If you open an issue on github, we can see if you find that helpful.

    @danstillman Are proper names expected to be protected with <span class="nocase"> in Zotero? Or is there something in place to make this unnecessary?
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    No, Zotero doesn't know anything about those tags currently. Those are just used by citeproc-js.
  • emilianoeheyns
    Yeah that's what I meant actually -- citeproc expects proper names to be protected this way right?

    No, citeproc would never modify ALLCAPS words to lowercase. The only reason to use nocase markup is to prevent upper casing, such as “iPhone” or for non-English segments of English titles.
  • emilianoeheyns
    But would it modify something like American Express?
  • bwiernik
    In normal usage, citeproc never turns an uppercase letter to lowercase.

    If a CSL style were to use text-case="sentence", citeproc-js would force an unprotected uppercase letter to lowercase, but the CSL style guidelines say to never use use text-case="sentence" but instead to assume that all titles are sent to citeproc in sentence case with only proper nouns or other always-uppercase words in uppercase.

    Man that took some doing but BBT should now mostly import Sentence Cased bibtex to conform to this. I'll be cutting a new release when #1245 and #1246 are confirmed.

    Just figure out how to prevent the extra braces!
    Line #111 of BibTex.js----comment the title
