Word Documents Created by Pandoc

[tom-mclean]

I didn't know I was using BetterBibTeX to do this as I'm certain I only clicked on things in the Zotero menu bar in Word, but I've been directed here from the Zotero forums! Can anyone help? What I asked there is as follows:

Before I upgraded to Zotero 7, I could create Word documents using Pandoc that contained references inline like "[Some text about why I am citing this source, [@authornameDATE, p. xx]" and when I opened the Word document, once I had identified a citation style in the Zotero tool bar, it would scan the document and put the citations in properly (where [@authornameDATE] is the BetterBibTeX citation key saved in Zotero). Occasionally this would glitch with footnote based systems, but if I used an inline author-date style first and then changed the style once Zotero had scanned the text, it was fine (and everything in the brackets ended up as a footnote).

Since I've upgraded, this doesn't seem to work anymore. Is this because that feature is no longer included, or because I need to do something else to make it work?

I would rather not convert to RTF and use the RTF scanner within the Zotero app proper, to avoid losing formatting elsewhere in the document.

(If it makes a difference, Zotero 7.0.9 on a Mac. Both Zotero and Word report being up to date. BetterBibTeX is also still installed and up to date).

Thanks!

Did the discussion on the zotero forums cover this problem?

Yes, covered, thank you!
