• In case anyone comes looking for a solution, the patch at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12174, comment 1, was successful. Basically you have to modify opac-export.pl to export as UTF8. Thanks to aurimas and adamsmith for h…

• Great, thanks. I will look into that. I have reached out to the Koha community and will pursue this further there. Thanks to adamsmith and aurimas for helping me troubleshoot.

• That makes sense, thanks for pointing that out. Any idea where to look to change this? I have pored over the system preferences without finding anything related to this.

• I would add that Chrome and Safari also interpret it as Western, so it is not simply a Firefox issue. There is something about how the file is created. Unless anyone has any bright ideas, I think I need to take this issue to a Koha forum.

• Oh, that's weird. I see what you mean. Experimenting with encodings in my text editor, it seems that Firefox is interpreting the file as "Western (ISO Latin 1)" encoding, rather than UTF8. When I try to save it as Western, my text editor BBEdit com…

• Thanks for looking at this. It is good to know that the MARC export is what Zotero uses. However, when look at it, it simply looks like non-normalized unicode: Miền nam Việt Nam. It is not the jumbled mess that comes into Zotero. Is there a st…

• Thanks, adamsmith. You are right that I did not include the blog name, and it does cite correctly with that in there. Thanks for looking into this.

• I wondered about that. Glad to hear it was an easy fix, and thanks for working on it. I updated in Firefox brings those PDFs in just fine.

  in 4.0.8 can't download pdf automatically from EBSCO Comment by dowens August 4, 2013
• Interesting, I encountered this problem after an upgrade to 4.0.9, and using Zotero in Firefox on campus does not solve it. Furthermore, before 4.0.9 Chrome worked well with Zotero Standalone to bring in PDF files from EBSCO. Am I the only one havin…

• I would like to revive this post because I am starting to use the SBL style (not the CMS style, as scot recommends above). To respond to anaselli and mbrand, the current SBL style does handle series numbers. In your Zotero entry, "Word Biblical Com…

• fbennett discovered that the cause of this problem was that I had my footnotes set to restart numbering with each chapter, which tripped up the processor. This explains why some ibids formed properly early in the document. In the debugging process…

• Just as a reminder, running Zotero 3.0b2 in Firefox 3.6.20 in Windows Vista with LibreOffice 3.5 (I feel like I need to catch by breath!), the ibid problem still does not really crop up. I checked every citation and found one SBII, but there were in…

• Thanks for being so responsive on this issue. I deleted my old csl file and installed again from the repository and then refreshed the document. I went through the whole document and found 98 SBII's (

• @fbennett: The citation is at: https://gist.github.com/1845907; I am using the "Wheaton College Ph.D. in Biblical and Theological Studies" style in the repository (aka: wheaton-phd-bith.csl). @adamsmith: If I delete only that citation and any othe…

• If this one citation and everything before it is deleted, the document formats correctly. If I then take that document and add just that one citation, the document does not format correctly.

• Sorry, I was just trying to document my procedure thoroughly. Bottom line: the long document does not work, even if I create an entirely new item in Zotero and a new citation.

• I went through all the debugging tips to no avail except that I was able to isolate an offending citation, or so I thought. Whenever this citation is in the document, ibids do not properly form after it (but they do before it). If I delete it and re…

• It is a new problem, and refreshing using 3.0 fixes the problem, I think. Edit: The public clone command is: git clone git://gist.github.com/1839480.git gist-1839480

• Hmmm, I am running 3.0.2 and it transforms my en-dashes into hyphens.

  in Automatically choose whether hyphen, en dash, or em dash should be used Comment by dowens February 15, 2012
• That is interesting. Did anything need to be added to those style definitions for it to work?

  in Automatically choose whether hyphen, en dash, or em dash should be used Comment by dowens February 15, 2012
• Has anyone had a problem the other way, that en-dashes (unicode) are transformed by Zotero into hyphens? They look right in the citation dialog but then the formatted citation has a hyphen.

• I spoke too soon. I booted into Windows Vista and found that my large document would not refresh properly using Zotero Standalone 3.0.2 and LibreOffice 3.5. I also discovered that my Firefox profile still had Zotero 3.0b2 installed, so I tried that …

• Thanks for the tips. Manually removing and then reinstalling the word processor integration extension appears to have solved the problem.

• Okay, I have 3.0.2, but ibid still does not work after a refresh or after editing a citation that should be ibid. Edit 1: Has anyone else had success with ibid in 3.0.2? I am running Zotero Standalone on Linux Mint with LibreOffice 3.4.4. Edit 2: …

• Any word about when 3.0.2 might be released? I need to print my dissertation soon (with ibid), and I am using Zotero Standalone. If it is delayed, is there somewhere to download a build of 3.0?

  in Working with master documents in OpenOffice Comment by dowens December 12, 2011
• I think the mapping must be incomplete (or I am missing something about the way it is done) because, at least in the Zotero Reference Test pane the two types (chapter and entry-encyclopedia) are handled differently. This is certainly the case in Chi…
