zotero-capacities-translator

A translator for pasting zotero references into capacities

This may be useful to academics who wish to use zotero references in Capacities. It allows for a reference from Zotero to easily be copied across to capacities in an appropriate format. Please note, it copies over bulleted text only and is not designed to integrate with Properties.

Instructions for set-up

1. Download the translator file.
2. Find 'translators' folder within the zotero installation (may be in your User folder) and paste the translator there.
3. Open Zotero. Edit -> Settings -> Export.
4. Under Quick Copy, Item Format, select 'Capacities Export'.

Instructions for use

1. With a reference highlighted in Zotero, press Ctrl+Shift+C
2. Paste (Ctrl + V) into Capacities
3. I then convert this to a Publication object, which can be done quickly with the sequence Ctrl + V -> Esc -> I -> select object type from dropdown.
