I have originally assumed that the conversion from the all-caps titles should be handled by the translator. I saw the process as three-stages: (I) Import. Conversion of cases done by translator, via internal Zotero algorithm. (II) Management.…

bdarcus, I thought that I tried to answer both questions. Here are your questions: 1. What sort of cases do you see this algorithm catching? 2. And does it only work if the raw data is entered British style (sentence case, rather than title)…

bdarcus: Excellent question, thanks. It's briefly touched in 4.c ("the other content of the field"). Here is how this might be done: i) First convert the whole title to both cases as described. If it differs from both title and sentence case, …

fbennett: A. I like the rich text markup that you mentioned. I am looking forward to it. Thanks. B. The idea was for the tool in 4 to work in a similar fashion as a spellchecker. I.e. only when the user explicitly requests to check the cas…

Just want to add to 4, to clarify that detection of problems is actually very simple. A non-standard case can be defined by the implemented conversion algorithm. Standard title should be either in sentence or title case. So, a title that differs fr…

2.a. If you do not add exceptions for special situations then you will never be able to have a reliable case conversion algorithm. Even artificial intelligence, or even a human assistant will make an error. And needs a way to record instructions lik…

I am thinking about a few issues, sorted by the order of potential implementation. Maybe some of the ideas could be useful. Thx Rudy 1. There should be a "Transform Text" menu for author names. 2. There should be a way to mark part…

Adam, I think that we then found the root of the problem. Should I report it as a bug? Or do you think the posts here are enough? Rudy

Thanks, Adam. I understand and appreciate the explanation and syntax tip. The problem I encountered was for an item that I added via the biomet.oxfordjournals.org web site. Author names are capitalized there, which is unfortunate. If there was "Tran…

I ran zotero://zotero/content/tools/cslpreview.xul with one book and one article that have messed-up cases in author names, title, and the journal title (see Delineator/control/Regression). And all the default styles leave the last names and title e…

My apologies for using the word abomination. From the above comments I've got the understanding that the conversions are impossible in the CSL file. That would bee very bad, in my opinion. Thank you for letting me that I was wrong. And hence my apol…

The case of the authors names should be an option of the CLS style. Similarly for the title and subtitle. I love Zotero for what it does, but this lack of capitalization control in the CLS file is an abomination. The case of author names and titles …
