HTML/Javascript

If this already exists, forgive me. I'm frequently awed by how rich Zotero already is.

I know Zotero's API makes access with JavaScript relatively easy. So why not have a simple feature that would use JavaScript to create a formatted reference in HTML? I guess this would be a translator.

A good initial use for this would be a preview window showing the reference in final, formatted form. EndNote has this feature.

A second use would be inserting formatted citations in web pages. It would be especially useful for a wiki, which can be a very useful tool for organizing notes. I've been playing around with TiddlyWiki, and the ability to create an individual "tiddler" for a reference in a Zotero database would be a terrific boon.
  • Right-click an item, Create Bibliography from Selected Item..., Save as HTML.

    Plaintext citations can be copied to the clipboard using Quick Copy (settings under Export in the Zotero prefs), and the style used is configurable on a per-domain/path basis.

    There's a ticket for Quick Copy of HTML.
