How to export addendum field

thatevangale

I'm using Zotero 7 and am exporting with Better BibTeX (both BibTeX and Better BibLaTeX give similar results).

I have a citation that I want to add an addendum to, but when I add the following to Extra

addendum: test

it exports as

annotation = {addendum: test}

rather than

addendum = {test}

Is there a way to fix this without editing the .bib file manually?

tex.addendum: test

(Note this requires the better BibTeX plugin. You can't do this without)

This solved the problem! Thank you very much :)

As a follow-up question, I'm citing a reprint for a book in the addendum, so have:

tex.addendum: Reprinted in \mkbibemph{Book title}, ...

but now this is being exported as

addendum = {Reprinted in {\textbackslash}mkbibemph\{Book title\}, ...}

Is there a way to ensure the \mkbibemph command exports with the correct formatting to correctly italicise the book title?

I believe these still all apply: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/308459/#Comment_308459

Excellent! Thanks again :)

this is also possible using tex.addendum= instead of tex.addendum:

adamsmith

are you saying the = instead of : makes BBT to treat the field as LaTeX?

emilianoeheyns

That is correct, but only for the (bib(la))tex. lines.

adamsmith

got it, thanks. That's clever.

In this case tex.addendum: Reprinted in <i>Book title</i>, ... would also have worked BTW.
