"Link List" style

maxad01
forgive me if this has been asked (newbie, and I did search this thread).

I'm not really after a formal citation stlye as such, what I'd like is an ability to produce "link lists" from my collections; that is html output that woud permit the url to be an active hyperlink. e.g.

<a href={URL}> {title}{others?} </a>

Just wondering if anyone has done this? or knows of an existing style that is close.

There is an overwhelming number of citation styles, but only a very few mention URL, and none of those meet the need. None mention 'link'

Thanks.

    no that doesn't exist. We're currenty discussing adding live-links to HTML output, but that will be for future versions.
    Right now, your best bet would probably be to try to hardcode the html into a citation style -

    I don't see why that wouldn't work.

    There's also a "Bookmarks" export format (not citation style) that might be what you're looking for.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Bookmark export is very helpful.
    right-click on collection > Export Collection > Bookmarks (choose format) > {collection-name}.html

    Quite close to what I was after, things I miss from this approach:
    * unable to send output to clipboard (goes direct to a file)
    * sort order; the output does not seem to be sorted (perhaps by date created)

    would still like a "Link List" citation style and may try to do this when I find some time.

    Cheers,
    Paul

    You can use Quick Copy to export Bookmarks to the clipboard. If you do, the citations should be sorted by the same order as in the Zotero pane.
