You can use LaTeX Math notation ($Subscript_2 and Superscript^3$) but otherwise the editor supports markdown syntax, which doesn't have sub/superscript, that's right.
-
Zotero has a CSV Export option (as well as various XMLs, but I'd imagine those would be harder to work with).
-
The style definitely does this correctly in general, I just tested. Happy to troubleshoot details if you're still interested -- first thing would be to test in a new word processor document and the style editor (under tools) in Zotero.
-
Zotero never announces release dates, but my understanding is that there are pretty firm intentions to release before the beginning of the US Fall semester, so I'd definitely not work on anything for Z6 right now.
-
yeah, that's a quick edit. You can actually just do a search and replace for page-first --> page in the whole style. See general instructions here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
-
How quick copy citations look depends on the default output format you have set in the Zotero prefs under Export. That said, having your primary sources (let's call them that for lack of a better term) use a different in-text style and be sorted di…
-
CMoS Note should certainly insert footnotes. My best guess is that you're setting the citation style in the wrong place -- it's set in the "Document Settings" of the Zotero word processor add-on. If that's not it, could we see a screenshot of how …
-
This doesn't come up as often as the DOI/URL hyperlinking, but it's a fairly common request, so it'd be nice to add, yes.
-
Not sure why you're reviving this thread 8 years later, but FWIW there is now an add-on that will fetch PMID/PMCID for items with a DOI: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-pmcid-fetcher/
-
Not aware of anything related to Zotero -- you can just take the web library URL (which I think you want?) and plug it into any online QR Code generator, though.
-
CSL updates happen at a pretty slow pace, both structurally and philosophically. My view is that something like this would be better handle by some sort of post processing (i.e., as a setting in the references manager) than in the citation styles, b…

See https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_data_from_a_backup and then tell us what exactly you tried -- you don't need a storage folder in the target computer to restore your data: you just need to replace the empty data f…

Use Data --> From Text/CSV to get Zotero-exported CSV into Excel. For some reason, Excel's default CSV import has some bizarre bugs in correctly importing perfectly valid CSV like Zotero's export. Using another spreadsheet tools (like LibreOffic…

Right -- Chicago Manual doesn't put a comma between author and year, you can check on their website
-
You'd need to either list changes from the existing style or provide the sample citations given on https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/REQUESTING.md#requesting-csl-styles formatted for the requested style (update).
-
The formatting of citations depends on the citation style. Note that you set the citation style for a Word document under "Document Settings" in the Zotero bar in Word -- not in the preferences of the Zotero application.
-
The generic translator can't do better than that -- the item type isn't in the site header, the description/abstract is truncated there, and the link to the PDF isn't in the metadata either. It'd certainly be possible to write a dedicated site tra…
-
Yes, I would also suggest a workflow using pandoc (and the BBT add-on in Zotero) when using a plain text editor. You can even use BBT to trigger a version of the add-citation add-on that will add pandoc-style citations into Atom (there used to also …
-
It's intended (_ is a special character in bibtex so it gets escaped. It's not a special character in any of the other formats, which is why they don't escape it). It's possible BBT has a setting to disable it, I don't recall precisely, and you can …
-
In line with the Chicago Manual's prescriptions, the CSL style only prints an accessed date when there's no publication date. The Guardian article you use does have a publication date and thus no accessed date is given.
-
Nothing new on this. It's not possible to hyperlink components of citations using CSL, no.
-
You can send as much details as possible to support@zotero.org (ideally of the type that demonstrate this is a company-related group and you are legitimate representatives of said company) and they may be willing to switch the group to a new owner. …

Do you mind saying what text editor you are using? There may be better options. Otherwise, I don't quite understand how you're generating the citations or how you want them to look. Could you provide an example?
-
If you want to test, you can download the Silverchair.js file (using the Raw link on github) and place it into the "translators" folder in Zotero's data directory, overwriting the existing file (if on Windows, make sure the file keeps it's .js file …
-
Make sure your style validates, in general. https://validator.citationstyles.org/?url=https://pastebin.com/raw/kzgPpNXm&version=1.0.2 Specifically (among other issues) you have two citation sections in the style. I'm surprised it does anything …
-
Once you have sync set up, it default to automatic sync yes. And local storage of files is free (regardless of availability of web storage) anyway.
-
That works for me in Zotero 7 beta and I'd be somewhat surprised if it wouldn't in Zotero 6. You're only using a single machine with Zotero? The "attachment not found" message could also just be the cause of files not syncing (https://www.zotero.or…
-
ah, thanks, that's helpful, I'll see what we do in the nbib; we can likely port that to Pubmed XML
-
assuming you didn't corrupt the database using rsync, just setting up Zotero sync should be all you need to do. Make sure you have back-ups of both databases just to be sure, but sync will only delete items that you have explicitly deleted in either…
