AGLC4 Latex Workflow - and Case Downloadeder (Australian Guide to Legal Citation)

terabell · May 29, 2020

Hi All, I'm impressed with how far Zotero has come in the last few years. I've been playing around and as my Uni forces me to use Word, I've got a lot out of the AGLC 4 style.

I'm probably pressing my luck, but thought I'd ask anwyay.

I'm now getting into some research and wanted to get back into using LaTex as I like the ability to use git to version control my work, have much easier time keeping formatting under control and to be able to work from anywhere.

I could get better bibtex working with overleaf, but I could not find an AGLC 4 latex style. I've read that there is a way to use pandoc with CSL styles, but could not quite follow the workflow.

Does anyone use LaTex and AGLC together? if so, what is your workflow?

Also, after playing with the PDF resolvers in Zotero, does anyone have one that takes medium neutral citations and download and attach cases from public sites like the HCA?

Thanks :)

To the best of my knowledge, pandoc only uses CSL styles. It accepts bibtex but first converts it to CSL.

To tell pandoc to pass the unformatted references to LaTeX for formatting there, see the arguments described here https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citation-rendering

Edit: thanks autocorrect

thanks - i'll try the pandora / pandoc instructions - WRT the two github aglc and latex styles they are out of date. I have used both of those, and contacted the authors last year with assistance in upgrading them or where I should start in doing it myself and did not get enough direction on how to upgrade them personally. A conforming, LaTeX style would be my preference.
