There has been a flurry of activity on the Zotero forums around the handling of name particles. The citeproc-js processor is being too aggressive about forcing capitals on particles, and the lack of control has caused frustration to users.
Discussion has led to a possible solution. It is simple to describe, but after implementing it in the processor, I find that it causes quite a few of the existing tests to break. I have made a tentative checkin of changes to the affected tests, so that they can be reviewed by the group. The rules applied in the proposal are: (1) The first character of a name particle in first position on the first-listed name in a bibliography is force to a capital letter. (2) A particle not in first position is always forced to lowercase. Three new tests provide a compact illustration of the behaviour: https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/src/de13966c0d0c8a6fec4005b46ac6a07f3f614ff7/processor-tests/humans/name_ParticleCaps1.txt?at=default https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/src/de13966c0d0c8a6fec4005b46ac6a07f3f614ff7/processor-tests/humans/name_ParticleCaps2.txt?at=default https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/src/de13966c0d0c8a6fec4005b46ac6a07f3f614ff7/processor-tests/humans/name_ParticleCaps3.txt?at=default (The ParticleCaps3 test includes a quote-escaped family name, to bind the name particle as part of the name itself. If quote-escaping of off the map of the specification, I can remove that data from the test.) The affected tests are linked below. If members of the group have time to review them, it would be a great help. https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test/commits/ad7cbfa7a378781bc6bfad33871a8a97e701379e Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
