Chicago fullnote inserts "trans. and ed." for source that only has an editor #201

Closed wcaleb closed 12 years ago

wcaleb commented 12 years ago

I'm using the chicago-fullnote-bibliography-no-ibid.csl style to process a file using pandoc, with a BibTeX database. Right now it exhibits this behavior:

I have an @incollection BibTex entry that contains a field for "author" and "editor" but no "translator." Yet when this source is processed in a full note, it produces this:

William G. Rothstein, “The Botanical Movements and Orthodox Medicine,” in Other Healers: Unorthodox Medicine in America, trans. and ed. Norman Gevitz (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1988).

Why is it inserting a "trans. and" when no translator field is present? Here's what the bibtex entry looks like:

@InCollection{ rothstein1988, editor = {Norman Gevitz}, booktitle = {Other Healers: Unorthodox Medicine in America}, address = {Baltimore}, publisher = {Johns Hopkins University Press}, year = 1988, author = {William G. Rothstein}, title = {The Botanical Movements and Orthodox Medicine}, pages = {29--51}, }

that's not a problem with the style, which has that coded correctly according to csl specifications (and works correctly in other implementations such as Zotero which uses citeproc-js). Please contact Andrea Rossato, the author of citeproc-hs that's used to format citations in pandoc: http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/citeproc-hs/#author

Closing this since it's not a style issue.
