annotated bibliography
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
(but to clarify: in any given document it's either or - you can't have a bibliography in which some items are annotated and others aren't).
Sorry to be dense about this -- I'd never done anything at all with code before (obviously). Thanks so much for your help!!
It appears the code is given for having the abstract field appear as an annotation. Since my notes are in the "note" section...is there anyway to have the notes appear in an annotated biblio?
Thanks
As for the multiple paragraphs issue, I think I have a find/replace workaround for that that will suffice in the meantime.
<text display="block" variable="abstract"/>
instead of the solution suggested above? That should work - if it doesn't there is some bigger issue.
If you want to create a style for an annotated bibliography first read the general instructions here
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
Then, if you want to annotate with the contents of the abstract field below each bibliography item, modify the style you want to annotate by inserting
<text display="block" variable="abstract"/>
in the last line of the bibliography section, right above </layout>. This will be the third last line of the file.
If you want to annotate with the contents of the extra field, instead insert <text display="block" variable="note"/> at the same location.
Thanks!
You can also use the visual editor:
http://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/
but the basic idea is the same.
Highlight the sources you want to include in your bibliography, right click to select"Generate Report for Items." This brings up a window that includes all the tags and notes you have included for each item, and you can print from here.
Hope this works!
