Feature Request: Print Templates for Note Cards

bouffier

Hi,
Would it be possible to add structured print templates for notes and annotations? I‘m working on a project that requires physical sorting of sources, and current export options don‘t format well for index cards.

What I‘m thinking: A simple print function that creates A5-sized cards with
- Bibliographic data (basic info)
- Tags and related items
- Note content/quotes
- Blank space for handwritten additions

Use case: Many researchers still need physical cards for argument mapping and collaborative work. This would bridge digital organization with tactile sorting.

Technical approach: I‘ve prototyped an HTML template; the layout is straightforward - just reformatting existing data into a card structure.
Would this fit into Zotero 7.1 development? I‘d be happy to share the template mockup or help with specifications if there‘s interest.
Thanks for considering this - and for all the great work on Zotero.

The report customizer plugin might have addressed your application, but it has not yet been updated for Zotero v7. It still works with v6.

For people with card-focused workflows, the zotcard plugin may be useful:

Another option is the Better Notes plugin, which allows you to define note templates in Markdown/HTML and export multiple items to PDF or print them directly via File -> Export Template to File.
