Both volumes of *The Decline of the West* went from zero citations to 415
once the arrow marker was recognised — and 167 of those were the editor's and
the translator's own glosses:
Latin: "nature of the thing." — Ed.
Reference to the wars between Athens and Sparta. Their dates are
431-404 BC and 31 BC. — Ed.
An em dash and a role at the very end is how a translator signs a note of
their own. It cites nothing, and it is a convention every academic
translation uses.
391 of the 415 also carried a stray `<!-- -->`: pandoc's list separator, left
in the middle of the reference text. HTML comments are conversion furniture
and are cut with the marker.
And `See R. Hirzel, Die Person (1914), p. 7.` read as an author-date entry
whose authors were "R. Hirzel, Die Person" and whose title was nothing — the
head is all capitalised words and the year is bracketed, which is exactly
what an author-date opening looks like. Where that reading yields no title
and reading it as a note yields one, the note wins. Having a title is how you
can tell which was meant.
