Keeping bold and italics in exported citations

Open sinerdos opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, Thank you so much for the amazing plugin, I use it everyday and it has made my job a lot easier. However, I can't seem to get the export to appear in Notion with parts in bold or italics (like the journal year or the article title for instance), the way a Zotero export would normally look. Being able to get a usable citation directly from the database would make me gain a huge amount of time. Is it inherent to the construction of the software or is there a solution I'm not seeing? Thanks again for your work!

Hi @sinerdos, thanks for the feedback!

Currently I save the plain text version of the citations into Notion because that approach was the simplest to get working. I believe it should be possible to save the formatted citations into Notion, but it will take some effort because it requires transforming the HTML from Zotero into the rich text format needed by Notion.

Just to make sure this works as expected when I get around to working on it, would you mind posting a screenshot of the formatted citation style that you'd like to see?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for such a quick answer, that would be fantastic. I generally use the American Chemical Society's format, as seen below :) Thanks!
