Annotated bibliographies
I've previously used a custom style to create annotated bibliographies. It works ok but means that you have to use a field for annotation (eg abstract) and one for sorting (eg extra, if you want a special sort). The disadvantage is that you cannot use tags or notes (still correct?)
Alternatively you can use report, and post-process the html outside zotero. Or you can export to CSV and process everything manually. However, clearly you lose all existing csl capabilities.
As scenario where the CSL engine has access to tags and notes would be ideal. Or a report format that uses styled citations together with tags and notes. Or maybe the RIS could be exported and processed and processed via CSL separately?
Any ideas on annotated bibliogtraphies (with sections or custom sorting)?

You can store multiple CSL variables in Extra.
I would recommend using the CSL ‘annote’ variable in Extra for sorting variables:
Annote: 1
You can store and cite keywords in Extra using the ‘keyword’ CSL variable:
Keyword: word
Put an extended annotated paragraph as the rest of Extra after any other CSL variables. (This gets mapped to CSL ‘note’.)
Do the keywords require {DOI:...} type syntax?

Presumably one needs to be careful about using ":" in this, right? Should ":" be escaped somehow?
