Description amygroshek 2017-11-26 17:00:57 UTC
Description:
CMS footnotes do not have italics on titles and journal names. 

* OSX 10.10.5
* LibreOffice Version: 5.3.6.1
* Zotero Standalone: 5.0.28
* Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (note)

I've reinstalled LibreOffice, reinstalled the office integration plugin, updated JDK. My old papers from last spring all have italics in inserted footnotes. But when I open those papers and insert a new footnote, book titles and journal titles in the new footnote do not have italics. Same thing with brand new documents. I know that the troubleshooting documentation says that LibreOffice controls the formatting, and it's true that you can change the overall spacing, font size, and font style etc for a footnote in LibreOffice, there doesn't seem to be any way to change the formatting of just one part of a footnote. 

I've also checked out the Zotero style editor and preview and the italics appear correctly there.

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/139065/zotero-footnotes-titles-lack-italics/

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a book reference in Zotero Standalone
2. Use the LibreOffice zotero integration to insert a footnote in CMS 17th edition note style into the page
3.

Actual Results:  
The footnote is inserted, and the book title (or journal title for a journal) is not in italics. 

Expected Results:
The footnote is inserted, and the book title (or journal title for a journal) is in italics. 


Reproducible: Always

There is a response in the thread above that indicates the problem is with Zotero, not with LibreOffice, and that you need to upgrade your version of Zotero to a newer one without the buggy behaviour.

You also mention yourself that this is fixed in the thread you opened on Zotero's forum with Zotero 5.0.29
