At the moment, org-cite/org-citeproc has no way of talking to Zotero. So you'd need to manually export citation data from Zotero to a format that pandoc-citeproc understands, like BibTex. It sounds like zotxt and zotxt-emacs provide a lot of what's needed to glue org-cite together with Zotero; so one thing that would be helpful, if you're up for it, is hacking org-cite to pull bibliography data from Zotero in a format that can be passed to org-citeproc. I don't use Zotero myself, so this is something I'm unlikely to do anytime soon without some help. (Borrowing code from zotxt-emacs and putting it in org-cite is probably the way to go here, as I doubt that we want to make zotxt-emacs a dependency of org-cite.) > All of this is fine for my current purposes, but I would like to figure out > a more flexible and enduring solution, so I'd like to try out org-cite and > org-citeproc.

It is a working proof-of-concept, but only that. Still, there is support in org-cite/org-citeproc for both HTML and ODT export, and it handles quite a few of the common cases. So let me know if you're interested in trying it out. There are brief installation instructions in the README (https://github.com/wyleyr/org-citeproc); let me know if you need more than that. Best, Richard
