  4. Can Zotero be used as notecards/flashcards?

    by bwiernik · December 20, 2018

  6. ZotFile: Extracting more features of annotations

    by bjohas · December 18, 2018
    Just to add: while (in a pdf) both 'stand-alone notes' and 'notes attached to highlight' are extracted similarly by ZotFile, you can actually distinguish them if they have different colours. Have adde

  12. ZotFile: Extracting more features of annotations

    by adamsmith · December 12, 2018
