[sic] becomes [Sic] in reference
I'm working with zotero for my first paper. I have not made any configuration choices that I'm aware of. I'm exporting in Better BibTex to import the file into Overleaf for a Computer Science paper. There is no target publication specified(e.g., IEEE or ACM).
I'm citing this title:
"The Elements of Geometrie of the Most Auncient Philosopher Euclide of Megara".
The Euclid who wrote this is "of Alexandria", so I added a "[sic]" to this title. I already cite the author as Euclid of Alexandria.
When I print from Overleaf it shows up [Sic]. Naively I thought I could put a LaTeX fix and added "\lowercase{[sic]} but that obviously failed.
Suggestions about how to make a lowercase [sic] appear?

The first thing I'd try would be to sentence case the title in Zotero:
"The elements of geometries of the most ancient philosopher Euclide of Megara [sic]" would be the expected input in Zotero -- given that, I'd expect BBT export to properly protect your lowercase
Sic
. If Zotero exemptssic
from capitalization, I will make BBT follow suit. The short-term solution for both Zotero and BBT is to enter the title as (the title does actually have "auncient" it seems)[[sic]]
in the better bibtex export? I don't see that. I do see{{sic}}
, and that is as it should be -- it means bibtex will not change the case onsic
, which is what you want. If you mean you get double brackets using[<span class="nocase">[sic]</span>]
, then well yes, if you include double brackets in the title, they'll show up in the output.The answer on github (
<span class="nocase">[sic]</span>
) is functionally the same, since the brackets are not affected by case-changes.
