Hi everyone
This only concerns processor maintainers, I’m 99% sure I know what’s right
here, so I don’t think we need to discuss what’s correct:
Current behavior in citeproc-js when punctuation-in-quote=“true” (as it is
for all en-US styles)
is to place periods inside outer quotation marks, but not inside inner
quotation
I.e. we get (in MLA style on an en-US locale)
Gasché, Rodolphe. “… And the Beautiful? Revisiting Edmund Burke’s ‘Double
Aesthetics’.” The Sublime: From Antiquity to the Present. Ed. Timothy M.
Costelloe. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2012. Print.
Where it should be:
Gasché, Rodolphe. “… And the Beautiful? Revisiting Edmund Burke’s ‘Double
Aesthetics.’” The Sublime: From Antiquity to the Present. Ed. Timothy M.
Costelloe. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2012. Print.
(note the end of the title - ’.” vs. .’”)
Every style guide for American English agrees the latter is correct, see
e.g.
APA:

Chicago Manual 6.11

Frank - could you fix this? The other citeproc maintainers should make sure
this is correct in their implementations.–
