Upgrade StorageProblems with quotation marks
Hi. I am quite new to Zotero community. I have tried to adapt the "Chicago manual of style (Full note with bibliography)" style to my own purposes. However, there are two flaws as well in the original file as in my adaption which I do not know how to emend, both concerning the citation of a journal-article an example of which you can see here:
Jonathan Lear, “Jumping from the Couch,” in: The International Journal of Psychoanalysis 83/3 (2002), S. 583-595.
1. The second comma should com after the closing quotation mark. Strangely enough, if the comma is replaced by a different character in the code file, this character is correctly rendered after the quotation mark. Here is the passage in question from the code file:
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-note"/>
<text macro="title-note"/>
<text macro="description-note"/>
<text macro="secondary-contributors-note"/>
<text macro="container-title-note"/>
<text macro="container-contributors-note"/>
</group>
The same problem occurs when the short title is cited:
Lear, “Jumping from the Couch.”
Here as well, the full stop incorrectly comes before the closing quotation mark.
2. I would like to have vertical or straight quotation marks ("like these") instead of the typographic ones.
I am grateful for any help.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Note that it's also not incorrect in American English, were punctuation is always included in quotation marks (as opposed to British English, which has more elaborate rules).
If I remember correctly the one thing you can do is to use prefix and suffix commands instead of quotes="true" - some of the French styles that require different type quotation marks do that.
Btw. the relevant passage in the code is not what you cite, but is in the respective macros.
edit: I just saw 2) - that makes things easier -use prefix="& quot;" - without the space - and the same for suffix.
