How do I include tags/keywords in a CSL?

carljoseph
I'm using a custom CSL file to product an annotated bibliography (citation and abstract). [https://edtechbooks.org/rapidwriting/annotated_bibliography]

I can't figure out how to get my item's tags into there. I saw some posts about JS and JSON but not sure how that might fit into what I want to achieve. Any thoughts or ideas?

    I just tried with CSL variable "keyword" as I see that mentioned in the documentation, but that doesn't work for me. Not sure that's actually possible.

    Yeah `keywords` doesn't seem to work for me even though I know it's there in the .bib file. I even tried wrapping it in a `group` but honestly I have no idea what I'm doing here with CSL files

    What do you mean with .bib file? What software are you using? The CSL JSON export does not seem to contain any tags.

    Correct, Zotero tags are are not available to citation styles in Zotero

    The .bib file that BBT exports has `keywords` which includes the tags for the item.

    Thanks Adam. Is there "any" way to get tags out into some kind of annotated bibliography? I essentially want the citation, the `extras` field, and the tags.

    In a bibliography, no. Reports do include tags

    Thanks again. Is it possible to customise the report format then, say to remove a heap of the fields that appear?

    Starting to think that writing my own plugin/script might be the best approach here. If anyone has any starters that do something vaguely similar, that would be amazing!
