Any pandoc and zotero wizards out there? I'm not sure when this changed as I haven't exported any writing with pandoc in a while, but now my "collection-title-short" entries in Zotero aren't properly rendering in Pandoc with the SBLHS2 csl file from Zotero. #SBL
Check alt-text on pics for details.
This is how it looks in Zotero. Note the extras field. This is how it looks in the Zotero preview. Note that it has the BZNW abbreviation. This is how it is showing up in a Pandoc generated bibliography. This is how it is showing up in a footnote via a Pandoc generated word file (from a markdown file in Obsidian, using the obsidian pandoc plugin).
