I wonder if Zotero has any support for using refs and bibliography table in text-only docs, like LaTeX or Markdown etc?

I know that with LibreOffice and Word it's done using a plugin, but not sure how this could be done with text-only formats.

You can even use it as a general knowledge repository since you can save anything on zotero pretty much, not just journal articles.

If it can save web pages, it will solve most of my electronic life problems. I doubt it can (otherwise everybody would be using it as a personal knowledge management solution, I assume). I'll take a look anyways.

It can!

Mostly just PDFs? Or are there good ways to save non-PDF content?

You can link to any type of file and it will open in the default program for that filetype when you double click

Any OCR support? I literally pay 20$ a month to fill out PDFs

There is no $20 Zotero plan for PDF filling. Are you talking about the $20/year plan?

I'm talking about Adobe PDF reader. It's the only way to not mess up PDF files when you edit them.

Unfortunately you can't just buy it,you need to subscribe to Creative Cloud

It's not sarcasm[1][2]. And as bad as it sounds, it's not worse than most other build systems[3][4] (including Firefox's own build system[5], or anything based on Electron[6]). 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25458080 > 2. https://github.com/zotero/zotero-standalone-build/blob/5.0.9... > 3. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29125925 > 4. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24495646 > 5. https://merveilles…

…holy cow. I also thought you were joking. When I read the headline and that Z6 is the "biggest upgrade in Zotero's history," I was absolutely looking forward to it ditching XULRunner and friends. This… this is not what I had in mind.

This isn't a very nice comment. It reads like the equivalent of someone trying to use high school bully tactics to make someone else feel bad by convincing them that if they don't stop being weird then no one will like them. No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo"-tier sniping.

The point is that GPC doesn't want to use something proprietary. Lol.

Ok, but they’re complaining about an open-source project; they can fork zotero and make it point to their own sync server.

I mean, that is weird. I don't think he was trying to bully anyone. It's just a super awkward way to build software.

I certainly wasn't intending to bully anyone, yeah. I understand why they're doing it that way, it's just unexpected.

Looks like you failed to absorb the point of the previous comment: No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo". Instead of addressing that, you just embraced it:

> I mean, that is weird

So? The purpose of my comment wasn't to dispute that it was weird. Want to stipulate that it's weird? Fine, granted. Pointing out that something is weird, however, is not a sufficient substitute for substance.
