Hi Miklos,
thank you very much for your answer!
Let’s make sure we are on the same page here.
Zotero is already able to write its citation with LibreOffice.
To do so, it currently uses one of two methods, at user’s choice:
(1) ReferenceMarks, which are NOT compatible with Microsoft Word
(2) Bookmarks, which are SOMEHOW compatible with Microsoft Word, in the
sense that you can’t put citations in footnotes, and they tend to break
very easily.
Instead, the Zotero plugin for Microsoft Word uses:
(1) Fields, which are NOT compatible with LibreOffice
(2) Bookmarks, see above.
The point of this post is to allow the plugin for LibreOffice to use
“Fields”.
In particular, I have to use the UNO interface to write the following in
the |word/document.xml| file inside a .docx file:
|<w:r> <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="begin"/> </w:r> <w:r> <w:instrText
xml:space="preserve"> [some text here] </w:instrText> </w:r> <w:r>
<w:fldChar w:fldCharType="separate"/> </w:r> <w:r w:rsidRPr="007C09F6">
<w:rPr> <w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri" w:cs="Calibri"/>
</w:rPr> <w:t> [some text here] </w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:fldChar
w:fldCharType="end"/> </w:r> |
would the |com.sun.star.text.TextField.Bibliography| interface allow me
to write the above code?
Best and thank you again.
Phillips.

relevant entry point is |com.sun.star.text.Fieldmark|,however I went to the IDL

class under |com.sun.star.text|.Is it undocumented? Can you point me in the right direction?
Fieldmarks are primarily for preserving fields imported from Word, soit's
somewhat intentional that there is no UI / documentation on how tocreate
them.Writer's bibliography UI creates bibliography fields instead, availableas
the com.sun.star.text.TextField.Bibliography UNO service. Did youconsider going
with that instead?Regards,Miklos
