Export to BibTex: Does a .cls style file in Zotero affect the format of the BibTex file generated?
I looked in the documentation and could not find an answer to the question. I know from reading other posts that the format of the generated BibTex file is controlled by the BibTex.js file in Zotero. What is not clear to me is if a .cls style file has any affect on this export process. I know the .cls style files are meant to format quick copy functions. I just want to confirm that these two methods are total separate and independent from each other.
It is often better to either change the .BST style file or use the Better BibTeX Zotero extension to customize one-off BibTeX exports if the BibTeX style you're using is "weird".
I'll have to look into the better BibTex Zotero extension for next time.
If you'd like to stick with BibTeX: Group 3 could be adjusted by customizing your BST style to use and 'url' and 'urldate' and Group 4 should mostly work as-is if you set the character encoding to, e.g. 'Western'.
Group 1: export as usual
Group 2: what kind of formatting are we looking at? LaTeX-ification? Transliteration? BBT should be able to do either. Anything remaining could be done with a postscript but that could get hairy. I'd like to know more about what you're doing here that Zotero isn't.
Group 3: Either standard behavior in BBT or a simple postscript that can automate it.
Group 4: That's LaTeX-ification, and where BBT doesn't do this correctly already this is a fixable bug
