Word Documents Created by Pandoc

tom_mclean
Before I upgraded to Zotero 7, I could create Word documents using Pandoc that contained references inline like "[Some text about why I am citing this source @authornameDATE, p. xx]" and when I opened the Word document, once I had identified a citation style in the Zotero tool bar, it would scan the document and put the citations in properly (where @authornameDATE is the BetterBibTeX citation key saved in Zotero). Occasionally this would glitch with footnote based systems, but if I used an inline author-date style first and then changed the style once Zotero had scanned the text, it was fine (and everything in the brackets ended up as a footnote).

Since I've upgraded, this doesn't seem to work anymore. Is this because that feature is no longer included, or because I need to do something else to make it work?

I would rather not convert to RTF and use the RTF scanner within the Zotero app proper, to avoid losing formatting elsewhere in the document.

(If it makes a difference, Zotero 7.0.9 on a Mac. Both Zotero and Word report being up to date. BetterBibTeX is also still installed and up to date).

Thanks!

    This has never been a feature of Zotero. I think you should be able to do something like this using a LUA filter and BetterBibTeX, which I'm guessing is what you remember; I'd ask over at the BBT github.

    Interesting! I'm certain I wasn't doing anything other than from the Zotero menu in Word to do so!

    Might BBT have been able to "interfere" in this way then?
