org-zotxt-insert-reference-link format #13

Copy link

Is it possible to customize the format of strings inserted with org-zotxt-insert-reference-link? Or would it be possible for this function to call Zotero's Quick Copy mechanism from within Emacs? That way I can set my formatting preferences within Zotero, and Emacs would just do the yanking.

I see :citation and :chicago-note-bibliography in your code but I'm not sure what to make of it.

That sounds like a great idea - much better than the current behavior. It should be easy enough.

In the meantime, you can set zotxt-default-bibliography-style by installing the style in zotero and using the name of the style. You can find this out by looking in your zotero directory (~/.zotero/zotero/*.default/zotero/styles) or as named here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles

Thanks! I played around with zotxt-default-bibliography-style and found this helpful blog post. And I realize now that I was asking the wrong question, or at least an incomplete question. One thing I like about Quick Copy is that you can use it to export either citations (with CMD-Shift-a on Mac) or bibliography entries (with CMD-Shift-c). Now, I like that zotxt defaults to Chicago style, but org-zotxt-insert-reference-link formats its strings as bibliographic entries rather than as citation notes, and it would be nice if the user could specify which to use.
