A third-party project that aims to facilitate the integration between Obsidian.md and Zotero, by providing a set of community plugins for both Obsidian and Zotero.
I'm trying to configure my zt.annot.eta template, and I've encountered several issues I can't resolve on my own.
I want the template to import notes that I create from annotations and comments in Zotero into Obsidian.
After adding annotations and comments to note in Zotero, they look like this:
As can be seen, my Zotero note template processes comments and annotations to get the following result: comments become headings, highlights are put in blockquotes under these headings and are followed by a short citation.
When importing such notes into Obsidian, I generally want to preserve the above formatting, except that I want blockquote signs (>) to be rendered as bullet points (-) and I want to have a zotero link to item page appended to the highlight.
So Ideally it should look like this in Obsidian:
I managed to configure the zt.annot.eta template to get the bullet points and the zotero link for annotations. Here is the template:
However, when I use the template to import note into Obsidian, I encounter several problems:
First, extra blockquotes are added before the highlights, i.e. what I get looks like this:
I do not have these extra blockquotes if I simply create a literature note.
Also, it seems like if I add <%= it.comment %> to the template (no matter with or without if statement), my comment gets duplicated, and that's why I did not include it in the above code snippet. It looks like this (by the way, the extra blockquote is also added before the comment):
The problem with not including comments into the template is that they will not be rendered at all if I use "Create Literature Note" feature instead of "Import Notes".
I also did not manage to figure out how to include the short citation provided by the Zotero (Author, year, page) in the output.
P.S. The only template that I have changed is the zt-annot.eta. Other templates are set to the default versions (including the zt-annots.eta)
P.P.S. I do not program - what I've done so far is based on several templates I've seen on the web, so I might be doing something wrong.
First of all, thank you for such a great plugin!
