[Feature Request] Apply case rules to tags? #174

Closed jeff47 closed 5 months ago

Describe the feature

Zotero ends up creating lot of duplicate tags that are different only by the capitalization. I'd be willing to sacrifice "correctness" of some abbreviations of technical terms to just have linter make all my tags lower case for consistency!

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm not sure if this feature is necessary to add to this plugin, the primary purpose of this plugin is to keep the field data accurate and standardized to ensure that the bibliography can be output correctly.

I do have ideas for managing tags, but I don't have enough time in the near future.

Until then, you can use this script to adjust the case of existing tags and the Actions & tags plugin to adjust the tags of new items that are added.

Agreed, this is easily done using the the Action Tags plugin, and can be customized in that implementation as well.
