#521 How to format subtitles in Style?

[Joachim]

Hi Mark,

since 6.6.5 the formatting of resources with the CFB style is weird. The subtitle has lost capitalization, in contrast to the title. I can't edit this in the Styles editor, as far as I can see. How can I repair this?

Hi Joachim,

It's working for me (just tested). You have three options for subtitles: leave the words unchanged, lowercase the first letter, uppercase the first letter. These options can be found when editing the style in the 'Bibliography Titles' block.

Let me know how you get on.

Regards,

Mark

Ah, I see. But choosing and saving "Words unchanged" gives me a fatal error:

Hi Joachim,

hmmm. This doesn't happen for me ('Words as entered' for both Title and Subtitle) on APA style.

I do, however, get serious problems (fatal errors etc. like you) with your CFB style so it is definitely something I need to look into.

To get your WIKINDX back up and running:
1. Download the latest CFB style from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikindx/files/archives/components/style/trunk/ (the one that's xxxx_1094 dated 30th January). Unzip it and use the three files to replace the ones in components/styles(cfb/

You should be up and running again. For now, don't touch the style editor until I can figure out what is going on.

Let me know if you you're back up and running.

Regards,

Mark

. . . and, although not recommended, you can edit the components/styles/cfb/cfb.xml style in a text editor (see the screenshot) if you need to:
0: unchanged
1: First letter capitalized
2: All lowercased.

note that title capitalisation only has the first two options.

I just tried this on your CFB style and I'm still up and running.

Great! The server is up and running and I have my subtitle formatting right. Thanks a lot!

[Mark Grimshaw]

Great. I'll let you know how I get on with debugging this. There's something specific to your style file.

The crash has been fixed in SVN so you can safely edit the style again.
