Forced Capitalization in Chicago Style
I'm doing a book project with many transliterated titles, mostly in Hebrew. They need to appear in lower case but Chicago style forces them into capitals. I can see I need to edit the style but I'm worried about ruining the code. Has anyone ever done this? Can you send me the edits you made?
I don't need the note in Hebrew, but rather transliterated. If I change it to Hebrew, it changes all the prepositions (like "and" and trans." and et al) to Hebrew letters and I don't want that, so for example here is the note I need:
Michael Gluzman, Hanan Hever, and Dan Miron, Be-`ir ha-haregah: biḳur meuḥar [In the city of slaughter: a visit at twilight] (Tel Aviv: Resling, 2005), 9.
And here is what I get on Zotero:
Michael Gluzman, Hanan Hever, and Dan Miron, Be-`ir Ha-Haregah: Biḳur Meuḥar [In the City of Slaughter: A Visit at Twilight] (Tel Aviv: Resling, 2005), 9.
In chicago fullnote you'd take this out of the title-note and/or title macros that you find in lines 236 onwards.
If you want it removed just for books then you would remove that from the conditionals that test for books like such "
<else-if type="book graphic motion_picture song" match="any">"

As you can see, "and" is still there. I think this will only change if you change the entire Zotero interface to Hebrew.
