Drag Scannable Cite!Format as Bib Entry?

Is it possible to drag a scannable cite, then have it format as a bib entry (CMS 17)?
  • 188BET靠谱吗You need to save your document as an ODT file and then covert it using the RTF/ODF Scan tool in Zotero.

    I was unclear.Having done what you said, can I make these references appear in bibliographic not footnote form―at the point where I want them!without generating a bibliography?Let me be more precise.I use Scrivener.I want to make a custom bib.I drag fifty references into a Scrivener document (not as notes!in the main doc pane).It's a list.I need them to appear and remain in the order Iassigned.I want these to come out in CMS17 as bibliography entries.But I don't want the refresh routine rearranging them its own way.I don't want to break the links yet because I might have data entry errors or other adjustments to make in the database.Am I making sense yet?m
  • no, sorry.They always generate in citation form
  • Okay.Suppose we generate the list as a discrete document (in LibreOffice Writer).Can we make a style to achieve the desired result?Would it be as simple as replacing the citation routine with the bib routine in a in a csl style?If it is that simple I might be able to do it.
  • Yes, I think you should just be able to move the citation section into the bibliography section.The only difficult part is formatting for multiple items -- by default, Scannable Cite would just delimit them with a semicolon.Getting a newline in there may be tricky.

    If you space the scannable cite markers themselves out via newlines, that'll work, of course.

    Thanks!I did it!Would anyone care to see it?Perhaps someone else might be able to use it?But how do I validate it with an alternate name so that it does not replace the "real" CMoS 17 that I also use?When I run it through the validator it complains about non-compliance with purl.org.Can I bypass or adjust that pointer so that it stops complaining?

    Update.Some of the above may not have made sense.My effort worked.But I realized that when I installed my modified file, it overwrote the name of the real CMoS style in the list of styles that appears in Juris-M.So I went in and changed the title field in my customized file.So they appear as distinct styles now in Juris-M.But, after that, the word processor integration complained of an invalid style when I tried to pick my modified style, from within LibreOffice.188BET靠谱吗I tried (re-)installing the various versions of the word processor integration (Zotero and Juris-M) without success.Then I just started over and rebuilt the modified file from a fresh copy of the real CMoS style.Inserted new name in the title field.Saved.And now it works.So I don't know if it was something in the integration, or if I fat-fingered something originally.But we seem to be up and running with Juris-M and the Juris-M version of the word processor integration.
