I'm writing my PhD thesis in markdown and using Bibtex with Zotero. I'm having some issues with the quotation style I'm using, which is a slightly modified version of the tapuscrit, when converting my document to PDF. First, when I quote an article, there is a space between the quotation marks and the title but the length of this space is not equal between the former and the latter. Secondly, when I quote the same reference successively, the ibid. mention appears but the name of the author(s) is quoted again, when it shouldn't be the case. Thirdly, when quoting again a reference, only the initials of the author's first name appear, but there is a space missing between the author's two first names, if any. Finally, I have an issue with the quotation marks when there is a need to put them in a title of an article with French quotation marks. Two closing quotation marks appear, even at the beginning of the quoted text. I attach four screenshots that illustrate the issues:
Here is a MWE in markdown:

bibliography:. Preferably, use an already available bibliography example for all of us, so you don't have to post any .bib file, just modify the markdown accordingly and check that it works as posted without having to do anything. – Fran Oct 21 '21 at 10:10lang: eswill not add spaces), so look at thebabel-frenchmanual for the options. Note also that the field text of the references must be valid LaTeX text, not markdown text, so"tournament"is not correct. – Fran Oct 25 '21 at 10:23babelfinally. However I don't how to solve the issue with the "ibid." as it must something from the YAML header or another command that produces this result. Concerning the quotes in the French guillemets, it must be an issue with the LaTeX text in the references as you mention. I generate them with Better BibTeX on Zotero, but there must be an issue concerning this specific sign. Do you maybe know how to solve it? – warped.wood Oct 25 '21 at 16:56"(single character) is not the way to quoting in LaTeX, you must use' ' (four independent tildes) or LaTeX comands for guillemots as\guilsinglleft{}or directly «» and ‹ › for a nested quote. – Fran Oct 25 '21 at 18:22
