multimarkdown + bibtex citekey

svenhaupt
I want to use the multi markdown features of Scrivener using Zotero. For this I want to be sure the citekey maked by Zotero is the same as in my bibtex file when I export my library. Than I need a style whit the multimarkdown command and the bibtex cite key. I dont understand much about. For this reason I need a answer for a dummy. But I want copy past from Zotero to Scrivener as style [name][#citeKey] , and when I compile to Latex it simple works.
Is there a way? Sorry for my bad English.

    There is no perfect way to do this.
    you can look at this thread for a solution for drag&drop bibtex key support:
    http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5094/drag-and-drop-bibtex-cite/

    I know a lot of TeX users use JabRef or something along those lines as an intermediary.

    You could also look at the bibtex citation style on the repository
    zotero.org/styles
    and use it with quick copy: http://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies#quick_copy
    but I don't think the keys are actually going to be very accurate.

    One caveat is that there had been interest in replacing the style for citation in that CSL with the full \cite{....} BibTeX command. This corner-case may be one point in favor of only using the citekey, itself (as was done orginally.
    but I don't think the keys are actually going to be very accurate.
    Disambiguation wouldn't (and can't) be handled in drag-and-drop, but I would imagine that most keys would still be pretty good.

    right - but you'd also have to create the bibtex file with that style and not with Zotero's regular bibtex export, or am I missing something?

    And there are some other downsides than disambiguation to that - all the little things like encasing of all caps abbreviations in curly brackets, conversion of Zotero's html markup (like < i > < b >...) to TeX etc.
