Export through website: Scannable Cite
I'm not sure if this question belongs under website or under import / export...
In order to use the RTF / ODF Scanner with documents, citations need to be exported in the "Scannable Cite" format. Is there any way to export in that format from the website?

On a more meta level and apart from the technical issues involved, I believe Dan--Zotero's lead developer--disagrees with some of the design decisions Frank and I made for ODF Scan and so, when Zotero implements it's own improved document scan, it'll likely look a bit differently. Because of that, it makes sense that they'd make very clear that Scannable Cites aren't a Zotero feature.
All that said, the scannable cites can be constructed easily from information available via API, so if you're looking in that direction we could give you some pointers on how to make that happen.
If you have suggestions about how I can jump in and write some code to get Scannable Cites out of the website, I'm game.
Seems like maybe someday there should be a plugin API for inputs / outputs of the RDF/ODF Scan. Has that been contemplated?
I believe ZotQuery, for example, already generates scannable cites via the web API.
