For Erik's benefit: =================== org-mode has a native ODT exporter implemented by org-odt.el. The documentation - org-odt.pdf - can be seen *attached* to this mailing list post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/48468 The following section - sec. no. 1.1.4 Applying Custom Styles - talks about where the ODT exporter picks the style from. Notes to self: ============== 1. styles.odt is here. - https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain/src/66353860ebdd/python Styles seem to have rststyle as a prefix. 2. example.odt is here. - https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain/src/66353860ebdd/example Contains a bibiliographic content presumably created by zrst2odt 3. zrst2odt is here. - https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain/src/66353860ebdd/python/bin 4. Elisp code is here. - https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain/src/66353860ebdd/elisp 1. org-zotero.el This permits insertion of zotero reference links *only* and opening them with a browser. Specifically I don't see the translator of these links to individual backends like latex, html or more importantly ODT. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-add-link-type TYPE &optional FOLLOW EXPORT) #+end_src 2. zotero.el This (apparently) permits download of data from firefox and importing it within Emacs. I have an impression that I have is this: org->rst->odt I am not able to make up my mind quickly about whether there is support for translating org-style zotero links to rst-stlye <whatever>. Notes to Matt Price or other users of zotero + libreoffice ========================================================== I see a post from you - titled "zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration doesn't open port?" - in the zotero forums a few hours ago. Here is a link to libreoffice related posts on zotero's forums. http://forums.zotero.org/search/?PostBackAction=Search&Keywords=libreoffice&Type=Comments&btnSubmit=Search So I believe if you or someone could post a OpenOffice document - created through zotero - which uses zotero-style citation and references - to this mailing list or this very thread - these could be used as a primer to export zotero links to ODT. (Similarly for other Org supported backends). It would be wonderful if the example uses as many of the zotero fields - (as in database fields) - in as many usage contexts as possible. General comments ================ 1. Zotero supports many citation stlyes. So Org/Zotero integration could choose one citation style that is widely agreeable for one-off colloboration needs. 2. I don't know if importing Zotero stylenames verbatim in to org-odt's style file would "pollute" it - thereby preventing org-odt from getting in to Emacs proper. I am not competent to judge what the copyright and license terms of the stylenames used by zotero plugin are. I am seeing that zotero itself is AGPL so I believe it is Free as in "Free Software". 3. Even if zotero's ODT style cannot be used by the ODT exporter due (2), I can cook up Org's own stlyenames for various citation fields and allow the user to remap Org* stlyenames to say Zotero* stlynames. I see Org already has some(?) support for bibtex. Can anyone comment on bibtex vs zotero? They seem to serve same purpose - citation management. Can bibtex be used instead of zotero. I am not a researcher or academic. So I would need help from potential users for this to move forward. > I'm wonderinghow other people have used it, and in particular > whether there's any way to preserve the zotero markup across exports > to odt especially.
